His body, a few days, maybe?. His soul, around 18 months of earth time. I think most fanon makes the assumption that that translates to around 180 years of hell time, but that's assuming that Cage time = hell time and all hell time is alike, and that hell time is to be taken literally. The only indication we have apart from using Dean's scale of hell time (4 months = 40 years) is that when Sam had his seizure at the end of Unforgiven he said something about how long it had seemed to him:
SAM [ exhales sharply ] So, how long was I out, again? DEAN I'm telling you, like two or three minutes. Why, what'd it feel like to you? SAM About a week, give or take.
Personally, I tend to assume that hell time stretches a bit like dream time, that without a body one doesn't have the same kind of relationship to time.
I've always assumed it was 180 years, but there could have been another time zone in the Cage. I always thought that Sam's time in the Cage felt eternal to him. Dare i ask why you ponder on this age old (well 2 year old at least) question? xxx
