'''Time distortion''' is an effect that makes the passage of time difficult to keep track of and wildly distorted. It is usually felt in two different forms: time expansion and time compression. It can however also be experienced through forms of perceived repetition which are known as time loops. | '''Time distortion''' is an effect that makes the passage of time difficult to keep track of and wildly distorted.

The most common of these is time expansion. Time expansion can be described as the feeling that time has slowed down. This seems to stem from the fact that during an intense [[hallucinogenic]] trip, abnormally large amounts of experience are felt in very short periods of time. This creates the illusion that more time has passed than actually has. For example, at the end of certain experiences one may feel that they have undergone any number of days, weeks, months, years or even eternal and infinite periods of time. | The most common of these is time expansion.
