Has anyone ever experienced a time shift?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) January 27th, 2012

I have no idea what to call it so I’ll just call it a time shift and it only happened twice in my life.

7 years ago when I was talking to my then-boyfriend on the phone, we realized it was time to go to bed as we looked at the clock. It wasn’t the time of day light savings or anything like that where the clock should be changed. We got off the phone and a couple minutes later he called me as I was about to call him and realized the hours on both our clocks weren’t the time we saw. It was a couple hours earlier…so we had time to talk and our clocks were the same.

It happened a second time, we had a fire drill when we were in high school. As we walked back inside (it was a very short path of a hallway not more than 15 feet) and it was very crowded and noisy…as we approached the door of our classroom, the teacher yelled “Get back in here!” and we looked around both confused and startled to realize that the hallway was completely empty and everyone has been in their seats for several minutes. We looked at each other confused.

I can’t say it’s a mind of “forgetfulness” or me having a great time and losing track of time…because I KNOW what it feels like..and those two experience I have never felt again. My ex bf even said it was very odd and never experienced it again either. Again, I know it’s not “Wow it’s 10pm already?” type of thing. It was very different..very.

What is this called? Has this experience ever been reported on the internet? Just wondering. Hopefully I’m not crazy.
