Has anyone ever experienced time dilation where the world appears to be running slowly in relation to your own thinking and actions?

Ive found this can occur in sports or life threatening situations for example. If so do you have any explanation for the experience?

This is completely different. From the apparent slowdown (actually i believe its a speedup in the brains processing ability) you are able to react to situations in a manner impossible in a ‘normal’ conscious state. This is what gives elite athletes their edge.
