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?

My guess it is a mixture of dopamine and adrenaline. Your heart beats much faster slowing the world down.

Have you ever seen a shrew in action? It's heart beats 1000+ times a minute. It makes a scorpion look like it strikes in slow motion.

Same principal.
