I think the difference is in one I'm attending breathe and the other I'm not attending anything.

Yes, I noticed that sometimes 30 minutes feel just like a moment and sometimes they feel like hours and hours, but there's no waiting, I don't notice the passing of the time in both cases, when I stop I notice the flow of time.
Do you enter in the hypnagogic state? I think I have a natural ability to do it and with every new session of meditation, I can do this more and more.I just finished a two hours session of meditation ( more or less ) and it felt like a moment for me, I witnessed many things because I kept entering and leaving the hypnagogic state on and on, I think at least 10 times.You know, when you return from this state, your awareness returns too so you know that you have been "gone" somewhere else, that's how it feels for me.
Yesterday I did an experiment, I asked a question and then I started to meditate, few moments later I entered in the hypnagogic state and I heard the answer, it was "Yes", I thought that it was just a passing thought in my mind, then I repeated the same experiment and I heard the same answer, it was the voice of energy, it actually said "Yes".I tried this today and it did not really work, I heard a glimpse of a very peaceful voice saying "Yes" and then nothing.I don't know the answer of this question, it's a question that someone else ( from real life ) can answer but I wanted to see what my subconscious mind says, it's funny, it said "Yes" all the time.
