What happens to our perception of time in different experiences?

Time is a psychological illusion; in deep presence, it expands, while in routine, it compresses, revealing the true nature of our experiences.

— Osho
According to Osho, time is psychological and elastic: in secure, routine “permanent” states it seems to crawl while you live it, yet in memory it feels as if it rushed by. In risky, moment-to-moment awareness, each instant feels intense and fast now, but later remembers as vast and long. Depth of presence stretches retrospective time; surface living compresses it.

Safe and same feels slow now but short later; vivid and uncertain feels fast now but long later.
