Buddhists talk about discontinuity

1. In Yogacara, are all moments discontinuous -- the idea that nothing is ever the same thing twice and no two times meet -- and an illusion?
2. Does that mean that durations -- even-though consisting of impermanent events -- only *seem* to arise persist decay or cease? Why?
I can intuitively see a link between 1 and 2, and I am in effect asking about that. Put another way: is the flow of time we psychologically experience itself permanent?
