Has anyone ever made a few minutes of "real time" seem like years, centuries, or even an eternity?
Have you ever had an extended perception of time?

Yes, the subjective sense of time can be very different from the real one.
Both in literature and in everyday communication, situations are often described when a minute or even a second seems like an eternity – when you are waiting for something (it doesn't matter if it's good or bad), when danger threatens (“the whole life has flashed before your eyes”); there is a “time stopped” effect-when you find yourself in some emotionally saturated (here-emotionally saturated in a positive way)situation. situations and you feel immortal…
A person at this time falls into a state of spontaneous hypnotic trance. The brain works differently, not in the same way as usual. Therefore, time in trance always flows according to its own laws.
By the way, the effect of subjective time distortion is of applied importance and is used in some hypnotherapy techniques – for example, when working with severe pain; in psychotherapy of palliative patients; in the treatment of age-related crises, etc.
Most recently, I was lying down with an attack (as it turned out later – a heart attack) and was waiting for an ambulance. The pain is unbearable. I can't move my arm or leg. I can't talk.
I lie there and think what's taking so LONG for an ambulance to arrive?
An ambulance arrived. I hear my daughter say to them: you arrived so QUICKLY! Only 7 minutes have passed.

To my great regret, no, my time flies very quickly and I rather think that time on the contrary has become more short-term than before. Most likely, this is due to lifestyle.
it was a little different, in the framework of mantic (related to divination, predicting the future, forecasting) meditation ..
when the task is to construct the necessary chain of events to achieve a specific goal, then you have to go through many options for how events can develop, and keep these options in mind ..
it turns out to be a multidimensional model of an event graph (a structure consisting of many points connected to each other), where you can select several routes from the point of the present to the desired point, the routes are different in complexity, circumstances, consequences, etc.
to build such a model, you need to go through many options for exits from each point, and make further calculations for each one … something like that ..
ultimately, you need to get an idea of how events should develop-one brunch from the starting point to the end ..
that's to collect a sufficient number of options (and in principle there are countless of them), so that there is something to choose from, you have to look through these or other opportunities in the development of the situation many times … it's like watching the same movie many times, but each time with a new ending (plot development).. This is where meditation and a fast-forward vision of the future are needed ..
in my best years (30 years ago) I was able to calculate the weekly interval (in detail the behavior of a person at crucial moments of choosing the development of a situation) leading to the desired result in 2-3 hours (and then paint the behavior map to the interested person for the same amount) … taking into account that you don't need the whole week, but mainly key moments .. but at the same time, the number of parallel plots is considered up to a hundred (most are discarded immediately).
so you can estimate “time compression” (or stretching if you like) like 1: 100 … but the paradox is .that the closer the research goal is (not a week, but one day, for example), the smaller the transformation … and to calculate the next 30 minutes, you need about 2 hours (10 minutes = 3 hours).. that is, the transformation goes into the opposite quality (it is faster to live really than to calculate virtually).
(to catch up) the past has no options, so the time to consider it depends not on the number of threads, but on the details of the study (the “thought on the tree” begins to spread).. but the dependency is the same – the further back in time you go, the less time you need.
