That happens with everyone, and when you think about how time has slowed or stopped, it goes again. Which makes me think (well actually i know from other experiences) that time is only constant in our concious mind, when where in a trance, not thinking, time around us slows down because of the amount of information we are processing. The more info we process, the slower time goes, almost to compensate. As we dream on the other hand, a 10 minute dream will last for hours, therefore time speeds up.
