Not Incoherent .
--
So you had a dream that lasted for 3 successive days and nights (or 72 hours), yet with reference to our time-scale while we are waking, took hardly a few minutes only!
--
Now this looks quite coherent !
Truly, a dream while takes place, can extend to as much longer as a second, a minute, hour or days.
A dream could last for even longer than this, and may go on for days and weeks, years and many a life-times.
Not only that but beyond as well.
Literally, you can go many deaths and re-births during a dream which; - when you wake up, in your perception think or believe, could have lasted for a few minutes or hours.
The time-scale in a dream could be quite incompatible (and may not be comparable) with the time-scale that looks REAL to us during our waking state.
But because of our habit of taking time as of a linear experience, we fail to see how time as an inference / concept is itself a notion only.
This notion soon and frequently vanishes / disappears every time when-ever we go to sleep and enter a dream.
Still our belief of linearity of time in us is ingrained so hard that every time after waking up, we think the dream was but a mind-made picture for a short-while only.
So, what do you think of dreams that take place while we are asleep, or the events that we think happen during our waking hours?
The events that happen in our waking state are as much non-existent as are the dreams that we think afterwards.
The key-point in the above explanation that needs to be noted is that in every experience at any level, the notion of 'me' gets translated into an assumed entity that goes through the experience.
This entity that goes to numerous experiences is itself a time-born event and has no essence of itself.
But through the thread of memory, the 'me' is taken as if it is a Reality and this Reality continues through-out this phenomenon.
This 'me' that is often re-affirmed repeatedly is itself the beginning of illusion.
Memory causes the illusion / idea that this 'me' is independent of the various experiences and the same 'me' runs like a thread in a garland where experiences are strung in upon it.
This is the idea that no one can ever get rid of.
For the very fact that though it is created every time anew, it soon gets vanished too.
Only in understanding this fact this idea gets dissolved.
You are still the consciousness where-in 'others' too are persons like you.
And the whole thing (life) is but a drama in this way.
