Time question

I was meditating the other night and I just couldn't seem to fully relax and quiet my mind. So after what felt like 20 minutes I got up to go turn off the music I listen to and my media player said the music had been playing for 1 hour 22 minutes.

Can a person experience time dilation while meditating?

Time dilation is very common with 'deeper' meditative states (a good sign actually). Time can either 'stretch' or 'compress'. Discontinuities can also occur where you jump in time rather than a smooth stretch.

FYI Similar effects are experienced during OBE, Vision Questing, and various remote viewing type activities. Basically any time you are not 'fully present' in the physical world.
