Yeah, I know that one - you drive to the shops and don't dream about the trip itself. It don't think it would quite explain the one I had though.

BTW, perhaps the reason that counting in your dreams is the same as in reality, is because we take into account our pulse & breathing when measuring the intervals. It should be a little slower then, but not much.
