Wildfire's dream was long. After all, he was an "Uploader" with a life spanning several thousand years.

Not to mention that the flow of time in the dream was severely distorted. Several thousand years of life seemed like the flick of a finger, yet also seemed endless. Only after expending tremendous effort and witnessing countless meaningful or meaningless cycles was he able to sort through the collected, indistinguishable truths and falsehoods and piece together the rough outlines of Wildfire's life.
