Have this ever happened to anybody?
Several times, I would be really tired. I would lay in bed and for a moment, I would enter a semi-conscious state, I wasn't really asleep, but I wasn't awake either. On a couple of occasions, while I was in that "state", I would dream. The dream would last for an hour or two. Then I would snap out of it, and would be quite suprised that while the dream might seem to be an hour long, only like 5 minutes have passed in real time!
It seems that your perception of time change when your state of consciousness change....

That happens to me all the time but i'm a huge day dreamer and i loose time alot just zoning off. Like i'll set on my bed thinking and stare at the wall and next thing i know an hour has passed.
Theirs a name for this phenomenae but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
I've had that before. I'll either have nothing to do or feel drowsy.
I fall asleep thinking I'm still awake and then I'll suddenly flick my eyes open realising I had been asleep.
I could still hear my music but I'd be asleep.

Is it " Twillight Zone " ?
Sometimes its like you had the most realistic dream, one that you could swear had really happened, then you wake up and realize you were asleep for like, ten minutes. that happens to me all the time. 
It's called lucid dreaming, I had a small one last night, the key is before going to sleep tell yourself that your are going to have a lucid dream and that you are going to snap out of it like a daydream...works for me and alot of others...

That works for me, although I usually wake up shortly after I realize I'm dreaming.
Join tha club lol
I've had lucid dreams ever since I was a kid and it got to a point after highschool that every dream started with me in my bed, in my room. It was really hard to get rest that way... so I got therapy 
But mine always seemed short when in reality a lot of time would pass.
