Dreams are very distorted and mish-mash in other areas not just time perception, I also think that the same 'drunken' semi-conscious state that makes us think our dreams are real (non-lucid) alters the time perception. We clearly don't think straight when we're dreaming.
Another thing is that the perception of the speed of time slows down when we're dealing with novelty and things we've never seen before: And dreams are very unusual and novel so that might explain why it feels like we were asleep a lot longer than we were.
And I have found that my recurring dreams don't seem to feel like they lasted as long. So that would make sense.
