This commonly occurs under the influence of [[stimulant|stimulating]] compounds and seems to at least partially stem from the fact that during intense levels of stimulation, people typically become hyper-focused on activities and tasks in a manner which can allow time to pass them by without realizing it. However, the same experience can also occur on [[depressant]] compounds which induce [[amnesia]]. This occurs due to the way in which a person can literally forget everything that has happened while still experiencing the effects of the substance, thus giving the impression that they have suddenly jumped forward in time.

Time compression is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[memory suppression]], [[focus enhancement]], [[stimulation]], and [[amnesia]] in a manner which may lead one into perceiving a disproportionately small number of events considering the amount of time that has actually passed in the real world. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[stimulating]] or [[amnesic]] compounds, such as [[amphetamines]], [[benzodiazepine|benzodiazepines]], [[entactogen|entactogens]], and [[GABAergic|GABAergic]] [[depressant|depressants]].</onlyinclude>

===Time reversal===

Time reversal can be described as perceiving that the events, hallucinations, and experiences that occurred around one's self within the previous several minutes to several hours are spontaneously playing backwards in a manner which is somewhat similar to that of a rewinding VHS tape. During this reversal, the person's cognition and train of thought will typically continue to play forward in a coherent and linear manner while they watch the external environment around them and their body's physical actions play in reverse order. This can either occur in real time, with 5 minutes of time reversal taking approximately 5 minutes to fully rewind, or it can occur in a manner which is sped up, with 5 minutes of time reversal only taking less than a minute. It can reasonably be speculated that the experience of time reversal may potentially occur through a combination of [[internal hallucination|internal hallucinations]] and errors in memory encoding.

Time reversal is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[internal hallucination|internal hallucinations]], [[thought loops]], and [[deja vu]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of extremely heavy dosages of [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] compounds, such as [[psychedelic|psychedelics]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]], and [[deliriant|deliriants]].</onlyinclude>
