Have you ever had the "whole life flashing before my eyes" experience (not necessarily in a near-death situation; there are other triggers), and if so did you have a sense of time slowing to a crawl, nearly stopping?

Yeah the anxiety/panic dilation effect is well documented. David Eagleman did some clever experiments with theme park drop tower rides to demonstrate that (those falling estimated the fall time to be significantly longer than ground observers)

Do you ever have visions of little slice of life moments that happen later in your life? Innocuous but very clear visions. For example, I saw the view out the window of a bedroom in a house I bought 5 years later.

Car accident, a minor one. Still, the time between hearing broken glass and hitting belts took eternity. I remember thinking 'Why is this taking so long?'.

That is a particularly clear example because of the calibrating effect of you having the anchor event of throwing the reserve... most examples I know of are too inert.
