TC, are you at all dyslexic? I only ask because I've read that people with dyslexia tend to process certain situations much faster than the average person, which kind of creates a slow-motion effect in time.

The same thing happens to me in crucial moments - ie, sports, accidents, fights.

I was in a car accident once, as a passenger, where we were about to hit a utility pole head on at 70+mph. I processed the situation so fast that this split second moment seemed to take a full minute to play out in real time. I sized up the scene quick enough to realize the driver was unaware and/or unable to manuever so I jumped onto his lap and steered out of the way. We ended up clipping the front passenger corner but had I not reacted, we would have hit it head on and likely both died.
This is just one example of many experiences I've had. So if you seem to go into slow motion mode too, I suggest you embrace your gift and make the most of it too.
