How do I slow down time inside my own mind?You know how the people in movies are like doing something intense or are experiencing some traumatic event and like time slows down and they see their own thoughts in like this super matrixy slow mo way?Or like when people say they had a near death experience and they say their entire life flashes before their eyes?How the fuck do I do that?I used to be able to do that when I was 6 years old but now I'm 36 and I can't...
>>32557036That is some true phenomenon that happens. “Science” has taken it seriously as some sort of bullcrap evidence of other dimensions or something. You can experience it in a life threatening situation or you can slow time down with weed.
>>32557485Last life threatening situation I was in I just woke up in a hospital and didn't remember anything at all about what happened to me, so I can't say I have experience with that cause it was wiped out of my brain with a concussion and a coma.
>>32557036>How the fuck do I do that?Experience a traumatic event.
>>32557520Ooch. Well trust me. Maybe just parachute out of an airplane next time.
>>32557036It's not exactly like a movie, but ultimately what you're describing has to do with how fast your brain is processing sensory information, usually in order to keep you alive. A sudden spike in adrenaline can have this effect (as in people mentioning 'trauma' above. There are other pathways you can take too (certain amphetamines, for instance), but few that don't risk damaging your brain with repeated exposure. Another way could be through direct electrical stimulation of certain clusters of neurons, at least hypothetically. In any case you're likely going to be pretty worn out afterwards.Coincidentally, the Sandevistan system in Cyberpunk 2077 isn't terribly unrealistic insofar as it stimulates your entire peripheral nervous system to speed up sensory processing and reaction time. The BMI technology doesn't really exist though, and there's a good chance it would also cause neural damage if it did.
>>32557036Knock something off a counter and try to catch it
>>32558024I've done that, doesn't work.I've also had basketballs hit me in the face cause I was too slow to see them coming.
>>32557036Weed
>>32557036When I was younger my brain would do this too.Everything seemed to be going extremely fast but in reality it was going a lot slower and it was just in my head.My thoughts would occur lightning fast, entire concepts I hadn't thought of would be in my head, I could perform physical stuff fast, when listening to music I couldn't help but laugh because of how distorted/slowed it sounded.I'm pretty sure I came off as schizo or insane to family/friends when they saw me like that because I often didn't have control of when it happened. I'm not sure if I was even comprehensible when I spoke when this happened as I'd talk at a speed I thought was normal.Sometimes nowadays when it doesn't happen often, people will mention that I talk like XQC or that I "mumble" when in my head I am speaking clearly.It could just be some form of autism that allows it. Trauma, maybe?
>>32564285What the fuck so this shit is real?
>>32566034I think so, or maybe I'm actually just insane.I had hit my head pretty hard a few times as a kid so that could explain it kek.Had "trauma" from medical stuff as a kid and was injected with strong drugs to keep me alive so that could also be it, also had to take medication for a few years (related to incident) so that could've altered my brain chemistry.
>>32557036wtfmovies are not real life
>>32567390Well, prove it to yourself by doing things practically fast. Like see how long it takes you to read a page of a random book or something, and then have someone verify by giving you a quiz on what you just read.
>>32567874next time it happens I'll test this outprobably just pull out a timer and do it.Then pause timer once done take notes on what I remember and see if it's the same when I rereadProbably compare it with more normal reading speed or average reading speedIt's not slow motion matrix or whatever the fuck OP, it's something different but it is some form of time dilation within my head that I believe makes time slower. Hell the difference I experience doesn't even seem that off, it feels like it's .8x to .9x speed (of the outside world) but I'm sure the difference would be observable through reading
