Speed up time?

[Websters Prophet]

When school was still in session, I would always have trouble waking up. I'd set my iPod clock radio alarm for one time, but then I'd hit 4 or 5 snoozes. The interesting thing is I'd be laying there in half-sleep but I was hearing the music faster, as if it was in fast-forward. Any possible explanation?

It may be because you "blank out" on your music. Like, your listening to it and then somehow drift off, and then it feels like the song just skipped awhole bunch, but you know that it played it. Unless you actually mean your hearing the music and singing as if it was playing faster (like high pitched voices).

[Websters Prophet]

Its not to the point where the voices get higher pitched, but yeah it sounds like its playing faster

[slayer]

It actually sounds like it's playing faster? That's weird...I've never heard of something like that.

I watched a video on youtube about a guy who's researching time dialation. He throws you off a tower while you're looking at a digital screen with blinking numbers. They are set up so you don't see them when under normal conditions (they are blinking too fast). His test showed that people could see the numbers when under stress, possibly recreating what people describe as time slowing down when, for example, in a car crash. They also felt like the fall lasted longer than it did. So if his test aren't flawed, then sensory perception is apparently flexible enough that we can notice it. Scientifically proven or not. I have to wake up at 6 am for school, even though it starts at 7:30 and I live about 10 minutes walking distance away. A whole hour seems like 20 minutes. While 20 minutes douring some classes seem like an hour. I was practicing a WILD once, and ambient sounds of workers, cars and birds slowed down significantly. It was like some scene from a movie, showing somones perspective after being drugged and losing consciousness. So perhaps it works both ways. Especially if that guy's right.

ever heard time flies when your having fun?

[Websters Prophet]

Yeah and I guess sleeping in is fun I think it might have something to do with how when you're on a road trip, if you go to sleep, it doesn't seem like a long trip.

Every once in awhile, when I'm listening to songs on my computer, it sounds like they're playing slower. It's very weird when I experience it.

[ChrissyMaria]

Same here CaLeB- But then when I'm at work time feels like an eternity lol.. I wish time flew when you were bored and slowed down when you have fun.

Guerrila-Are you really transexual?

[slayer]

Guerrila-Are you really transexual? I don't think so...just the right person in the wrong body. Right?

[Zarko]

Guerrila-Are you really transexual? How old are you?

[ChrissyMaria]

Guerrila-Are you really transexual? Yes, well pre-transition...so technically im just transgendered until I do the whole hormone thingy

[Hypertrophy]

Yes, well pre-transition...so technically im just transgendered until I do the whole hormone thingy Ok that's interesting can you tell more? About the time, sometimes in between sleep- and wakingphase we lose our sense of time.

[ChrissyMaria]

Well I don't want to really de-rail this thread lol...i have my own transgendered thread out there somewhere anyway in the lounge.

[Rai Saix]

But yeah, sense of time is messed up in dreams. You can have an amazingly vivid dream, that seems to last for hours on end, and it only was 30 minutes!

[Dash]

Its not to the point where the voices get higher pitched, but yeah it sounds like its playing faster This is just an uninformed guess. I think it's perception. Your mind is going at a slower rate or is tired. Therefore, it's kinda just tuning the music out, and your perception gets wacked out. It's like how staring at a clock makes a class at college tedious but listening to the professor makes time go faster.

[WaterSquirrel]

I can slow down and speed up music all the time. You just enter a relaxed state. It's kinda hard to explain. You can apply it to pretty much everything.

[Imac]

Agreed with WaterSquirrel, I slow down, change pitch, change voices in my head when listening to music until I can get them perfect. I gues I'm sort of a perfectionist... O-o
