Do you ever experience the sensation that time is slowing down for you?
E.G. Your brain and motor functions are moving at normal speed, but
everything around you has slowed down?
I've had this sensation more than a few times. A couple of times when I
was in auto accidents (not my fault) and could see the whole thing slowly
unfolding around me. Another situation where things seem to move in slow
motion is when I'm riding as passenger in a light airplane and we're in
the landing phase. Approach and touchdown seems to be in slow motion when
someone else is flying.
Occasionally, like this evening, I get the slow-mo feeling when I'm
landing the airplane. The white stripes are passing slowly, the airplane
is gently settling towards the runway, and I can pick whether to land on
the left main, right main, tailwheel, all three at once, or any two of the
three, with the third to follow whenever I want, and the airplane seems to
be at taxi speed as soon as I touch down.
What's up with that, and where do I sign up for more?
Well, I hate to say it, but you simply are a prodigy :-).
People like Wayne Gretzky, for example, experience it on the hockey ice.
