Missing time during Meditation

This happens to me in rituals a lot. Ones that feel like they're <5 minutes long actually take about 40, and ones that feel like about a half hour are closer to two. Don't quite know why, but time tends to speed up when deep brainwaves are emitted by a human. I distinctly remember my cell phone's clock accelerating on its own over time, to eventually being 10 minutes ahead of "normal time", before reversing and actually going further backwards to become roughly 10 minutes behind normal time, before settling out.

It happens.

Meditation, I would guess, is specific to the individual. For me, if I have a real time 45 minutes/1 hour session, it feels like about 15 minutes have passed. So time seems to speed up. This has always been the case for me and I accept it as a fact that it is either the same for everyone or is specific to me but eitherway it is normal for me and my experience.

Today I performed meditation in a usual place. It seemed to me to last 15 minutes or so, so I guessed that in real time maybe 45 minutes had passed. As I sat up and looked at my personal time piece it said 19 minutes had elapsed. I thought this strange that I had actually had a real time experience but accepted it eventhough I was frustrated to have achieved only a short meditative state.

I went downstairs for something to eat and saw that infact 45/50 minutes (approximately) had elapsed on the kitchen clock. I checked my personal timer and this was working correctly. So why had only 19 minutes passed during meditation local to where I was but outside of that bubble 45/50 minutes had gone by. Had time locally to where I had meditated somehow slowed down? I am a rational man but I am at a loss as to what happened. My personal timer has never gained or lost time before and is functioning correctly now, so the only possibilities are that I've read the digital read out incorrectly and somehow read 49 minutes as 19 (unlikely but a possibility), random machine malfunction or there has been some local time disruption.

Interesting... It has happened to me a few times.

I would be interested to hear any similar meditation experiences?

There is quite a few possibilities ...

When I meditate (deep meditation) I do not care about time although I'm fully aware of it but at the same time unaware ; it becomes like breathing - you do it constantly but you do not think about it .

Only time in meditation I dó focus on it is when I need to manipulate it somehow .


To return to your timer , do it work with a battery or mains ? The clock downstairs ?
 
I might suspect a glitch with your phone but the possibility remain that you've created a "protection bubble" during meditation which will cause it to slow down for you in that bubble .

In reality you will then age slower - do you catch my drift ?
