I have experienced major time dilation four times that I can recall.

First time I was 6 or 7, and pulled a 2 year old from the bottom of a public pool.

Second time age 8, I was way out in our front yard, turned to see a large section of the backyard on fire around the neighbors trash-burning barrel, I ran and put it out with a shovel and a garden hose.

Third time I was 16 and rolled a VW squareback wagon into a ditch, exactly as I had done in a dream 3 weeks before. Had the classic "Life passing before my eyes" scenario and after I stopped rolling just figured I was dreaming again.

Fourth time was the impetus for the story I posted last night, where two truckers tried to murder me.
