Distortion of time and space

Today, I finally realised how time and space can be distorted. What physicists have been trying to do!

It is very simple! Just close your eyes, sleep for a while, and time and space is changed. Time can move faster than normal in dreams. Space is different there too, one can never know the limit of it. Even if you decide to do an experiment to test time and space there, you would draw a different result. It's all very interesting! In sleeping, a new dimension of time and space is created! And if you are not awake and thus still fully in that dimension, your time and space is that of that dimension.

If you are awake, it changes. Say, sitting in meditation, with your eyes closed, not counting your breath but by other meditation methods, your time could change from moment to moment, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. You could control it at will if you are good enough. When you have certain kind of thoughts, like basking in the bliss of meditation, then time can be fast and the meditation is over, sometimes when your legs hurt or when you are bored, time moves very slowly. Like when you close your eyes, the only space that you know which exists it that which is housing your body. So, you cannot assume all around you is space. You don't know if it is or not without some basic assumption. Even if you open your eyes, the assumption is that the light and the eye sense and the mind correctly comes together and reflects the space in front of you so you can say that this is space. This is based on the above assumptions, note. If the assumptions fall, everything changes. Thus that's how one can control his time and space. It seems mind is the most important control factor here.

Let's say the mind changes and one becomes crazy and the eye sense does not link well with the mind. The mind could create illusions of confined or false space or elements that confuses and changes one's view of space and time. Thus, as you can see, space and time can be distorted and this distortion is not the same for everyone and depends on individuals.
