Yes. Experienced both of these. Unsure of how it operates fully, but, I've found that if you condense your movements down to thier bare minimum (a bit Tai Chi), your thought gets more economical, and vice versa...I know, sounds silly...but after doing this I always get remarks about how quickly I get things done...i also surprise myself on the little time taken...that's time compression I guess...
The opposite end of the scale is the floating time effect...when my thoughts wander, or I purposely zonk out (a bit meditational), time seems to pass quite slowly...what may have felt like 5 hours, was really 1 hour...
There's more to it than just mind over matter...I've found the feeling very hard to explain (on the floating effect)...the compression effect is always noticed by other people...so I'm quite sure there is something going on there, given that I am not the only one who notices it.
Sound familiar?

Well...yeah...dancing is another one of those 'meditative' things, isn't it?
The water 'thing' is the rush of negative ions created by water, and running water specifically...that stuff (while I haven't 'Goopled' it), should be easy to find as a search item...waterfalls, lakes, beaches, showers, fountains, forests (especially rain forests)...another correlation is in Chinese Feng Shui...although, I think the effect is more location based in this practice, but I think water is supposed to be generally 'auspicious'...may be that, there is a link?
I learnt the, much maligned, TM technique (you know, the one the Beatles did)...if you've never meditated, its well worth the small cash outlay...it is process driven, and if you follow the steps, you do not fail...anyway, one of the tests while learning it, relates specifically to the extending of time...the amount of it seeming longer than it was...the 'zone' is somehow similiar to other pursuits in which the time becomes 'extended', like when dancing, walking, running...
I notice that several posters have 'sensibly' put this all down to 'perception' of time...which I actually agree with to a certain extent with the extension of time thing...but, when its not only my perception that is noticing it, there is something else happening (and there will probably be an equally 'sensible' response to this)...but then, why would people mention it?

Use a stopwatch when starting showering and see how much time has elapsed when you're done. Simple solution to convince yourself you're just having fun and really spending close to 30.

A few weeks ago some friends of mine kept going on about a legal research chemical that was available online that gave the effect of time being stopped, And wanted me to try it with them so i went home did alot of research and read other peoples experiences of it and decided to take the risk. All i can say is time did stop but it was the strangest and scariest time of my life, the 4 hour peak seemed to last maybe 2 days i dunno a very long time though.we had music playing in the background and each 5 minute track seemed to play for over an hour! i wont go into detail but me and my friends all thought we were dead through most of it, Either dead or had gone completely crazy, it was like been stuck inside my head and being so confused i couldnt speak and when i did i couldnt remeber what id said a second after i said it. it is definately not worth the risk as each one of us has nearly complete memory loss of that night we only remember what our sober friends told us happend and the odd bit here and there!
I DONT RECOMMEND ANY RESEARCH CHEMICALS TO ANY BODY THEY ARE DANGEROUS AND I WAS STUPID!!!!!!
p.s If you want to perceive time as going slower look at your watch every five minutes or so and the days will take forever

In addition to what I just said, time dilation doesn't change your perception of time, but only the perception of the difference in time between the two velocities.

While I understand the general behaviours of ADHD...I'm no expert...anti-concentration is required in TM, essentially a process focussing on floating, or more to the point, sinking slowly down into brain waves accessed only under certain conditions...the process mimics the steps towards creating these conditions, and as a consequence attaining these brain states. It can be done (TM) anywhere, where you can shut your eyes...
Sounds like the dancing is doing it for you!
I read about both these people years ago, forgot them naturally, but the correspondences remain.
The Schauberger stuff always reminded me a little of Tesla, and as with him, his theories and/or discoveries are only ever mentioned by lunatics! Joke!

I personally understand that time is psychological and hence when one goes to sleep, the ratio to normal waking consciousness to sleep state is 5:25, hence 25 mins of sleep equals 5 minutes of conscious waking time etc. So there we have it we are actually warping time at least 8 hours of everyday for most of us...lol
