Our perception of time, is...perceptual, isn't it?

During rushes of adrenaline, such as moments of danger, we perceive time as slowing down, because our internal processes are speeded up. Likewise during various brain states or under the influence of drugs, our perception of time is variable.

During sleep and dreams our perception of time is far different than our waking perception.

Interestingly also, one's perception of time varies based on age.

I find all these perceptual experiences of time more interesting than what "time" itself may or may not be - mainly because I can actually experience them!
