A. REM sleep periods, and therefore dreams, last typically in the range of 5 to 45 minutes (cf. section 6). Often, the subjective time spent in a dream is much longer. One possible explanation for this time-stretch effect is that dreams are combined from pieces (see preceding paragraph) that have their own different setting in time. You first dream of something that occurred a year ago, then -following - of something that occurred just recently, mix them up a bit and are left with the remembrance of a dream that lasted a year......

Why do dreams last for hours but when you wake up and think about it it would only last a minute or so?

Dreams do not necessarily last for "hours." Neither do they last only a minute or so. One's perception of time is altered in the dream state because dreams are products of the subconscious. See the attached link below on sleep stages for more information on sleep and dream research.
