Hi, I am new to the forum and I've been wanting to ask others about time perception but haven't gotten to it until now. Ever since I was little (and my sister used to have it as well, but neither of my parents), every once in a while time seems to speed up in my mind when I know time isn't actually speeding up. For example, I'll be talking to my dad and everything we both say seems like it's going ten times faster than what it is, but I know that it isn't (kind of...I guess...). Or it will happen when I'm trying to take a test (I remember I was taking a geometry test my freshman year of HS) and I won't be able to concentrate because everything seems to be speeding up. Sometimes it will last just a few minutes, other times up to ten minutes. What I remember, though, as a child, it started out in dreams. I remember dreaming of an empty spool of thread turning faster and faster until I'd wake up and everything would still be moving very quickly. I don't have those dreams anymore, but it does still happen at the most random times. I don't think I'm crazy and I'm not taking drugs nor do I have ADD or ADHD, lol, but I would like to know if there's something going on up there.
Thanks for listening to my babbling and any insight is really appreciated!
