in each sleep cycle, of which you have several a night, and you only remember the last dream you had?

Wiki - and what I remember of neuroscience from uni - says otherwise
dreaming most strongly correlates with periods of REM sleep, of which you can have up to five separate periods of per night.

Except that at the average length of sleep cycle
I generally go through only one or perhaps 2 complete cycles in my sleep, yet generally have distinct dreams.

Also the actual time felt far longer in my dream

There is that, I guess
although I really don't know how you function at all on the amount of sleep you get!
