Have you ever had a moment when time stopped?

[Jmosies]

So, yesterday I was driving my friend home, and everything's going along as usual. All of a sudden I see this tiny gold and black dog right in front of the car, sitting right in my path. It was pretty dark out so I'm surprised I saw him at all, but there he was, staring right up at my windshield with this innocent look on his face. And then, time stopped. I swerved out of the way right as I was about to hit him. Luckily the other side of the road was clear, so nobody was hurt, including the dog. I stayed long enough to see a lady take the dog across the street and hand him to somebody, who I assume was the owner.

Has anything like this ever happened to you? Have you ever had a situation in your life when time stopped?

Back when I was a very little child, around five or six years old. After a few certain incident happened, I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night unable to breathe. Having felt as if all of the air had been sucked out of my lungs, I stumbled out of bed and fell onto the floor. For those few moments while I stared up at the ceiling, time felt as if it had come to a grinding halt, and all I could think was, "Am I going to die?"

Understandably, the concept of death was a far off thing for me at that time; but still, it was an extremely frightening and memorable moment for me.

the time stopped when i was brushing my teeth and i saw a cockroach near my toothpaste

Yeah, once when I was flying away from Earth at the speed of light.

It's just the adrenaline rush you get from a fight or flight response.

It makes you take in a lot more information in a far shorter amount of time, making it feel like you're in the moment longer than normal. time hasn't stopped, it's just that your perception of it temporarily dilated.

I don't think I've experience this before though, or if I have, I can't recall.

When my dog was getting attacked by a large greyhound.. I chased it off eventually.

That has happened to me twice in my life once was when I was a kid my parents took me my brother and sister hiking up a pretty steep trail. along the trail there were periodic rest points that have a really nice view (can you see where this is going yet lol) being a kid I ran right up to the edge of one of the lookout points it was a good 50-60 foot drop on to rock I know that because there was a warning sign stateing it and a guard rail I chose to walk under. The next thing I knew I was slow motion falling over the edge I guess there was a gust of wind or something I don’t really remember anyway my dad managed to grab me and pull me back on to the cliff face. (Thank god he was standing next to me at the time.)

The second time was when my little brother was attacked by a rather large dog. It got him pretty good a few times before we fought it off. The messed up thing was the owner was right there the howl time yelling at us not to hurt her dog and she didn’t even try to help...really lady it was trying to kill my brother. The last thing I heard the dog was put down.

Well when I have gotten into fights, I totally don't remember what I did in them nor do I remember what the person did. It's like the film was cut out of censored out of my life, I don't know.

Gosh, this thread is making me want to go read Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld...

When I was 11 I think. I was at my cousin Kenzie's house(not really my cousin, but we were really close so we called each other cousins), he was 11 too. We were trying to get this hanging tree to come down because it was partly broke from age or something and his grandma wanted it gone. We were strong kids so we were trying to get it to knock down. It was hard so we both stopped...then I say "Let me try one more time" then I hang on a big branch and down in falls, I hit the ground on my back hard and as I'm looking forward, the tree is coming right toward me so slowly...so I squeeze my eyes shut thinking it's going to hit my face or chest but when I open them I notice it just grazed my shoulder. Very scary :/

Time stopped for when I saw my dog which is a pitbull chase my beautiful cat trying to kill her, luckily she ran up a tree so she could escape.

Time stopped for me when I saw my little brother for the first time ^^;
A moment that will last for ever <3

It's implied that a ripple in space-time allowing you to interact with your environment and function normally while time is stopped has been applied to the situation.

Mhm..oh yeah I've had one of those moments before...lots of moments to be exact. xDD

Well, one time was when I had finished confessing to my crush that I liked him aaaand he said he liked me too so I was beyond happy, but what happened next was nothing short of a teenage movie moment. XD After that I rushed back down the stairwell with my crush right behind me and my friends were waiting and my foot...just..buckled and I hurt my ankle real bad. Time stopped at that very moment...I felt like I was falling in slow motion and soon enough I felt face-first onto the floor. I turned on my back to see my crush looking down at me with huge eyes. O.O Everyone was laughing and so was he...I was kind of crauging..(crying and laughing) because of the pain and embarassment... v.v *sigh* Best and worst day ever..but it was a priceless moment.

I've had a lot of moments like that o.o Twice while I was falling/tripping and hurting myslef. BADLY. xD

But one thing that I will never forget, was an incident after I removed my appendictis, or appendix, or whatever.. xD Anyways, my appesomething was underneath my intestines, so they kinda had to move them around... x.x

Anyways, later, I was reading a book in the hospital when I felt my intestines move... I looked down at my stomach and saw them move underneath my skin o.O I was scaaaaared xD I weren't on any kind of medication, either C:

IN my sleep of course everything stops :d

It's implied that a ripple in space-time allowing you to interact with your environment and function normally while time is stopped has been applied to the situation.

But then everything I interact with will experience immense acceleration once time resumes, and pretty much instantly die, fly across the room or shatter.

Hahahahahahaha... yes yes, but the truth is, the time does not stop.
