Great Post, also as you noted the perception of time slows down when in mortal danger. It is like things are playing out in slow motion though in reality it is very quick. In your memory you see everything in detail. If not in mortal danger it is not like that and your perception of events is not as detailed and exact.
I have experienced this, although I was not in mortal danger at the time. It's wild, it's like the world is moving in slow motion and you're not.
