Experience description:

I was at a family dinner, just eating, and talking with my family. I was then starting to feel like I was shifting, somehow to an alternative "state", where I was still at the dinner table, eating with my family at the same time as I was feeling not there at all.  I remember looking around to see if other members of my family noticed anything going on with themselves, or myself. Nothing was ever said from anyone else of the moment I had this experience, and I have never spoken to anyone about it. It was very frightening and fascinating all at the same time.  

It was as if I was in two different realities at once, like I could see myself at the same time as I was myself. I had the indescribable experience of not having any sense of the passage of time, such as if I was completely removed from the "norms" of this reality. I was in a place where everything was happening at once, and at the same time, nothing at all. Time, as we experience it and know it, did not exist.  This state continued for about a minute, and I have never experienced it again, nor spoken of it.  

I have never been able to make complete sense of what I felt, but the closest description I can use is "time ceased to exist" and I was in a different place, but in the same place all at once.

 Any associated medications or substances with the potential to affect the experience?     No      

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     It is hard to explain the feeling of the complete absence of "time" I experienced. It was as if there was no past, present or future. It was just as if I was existing in a  void of time, but still present in my current state of "now", where I could talk to others, and experience what was going on around me. I had no sense of anything other than just "being".
