Summary
The activity within the insular cortex of the brain, which maps the affective visceral state of the experience consciously, is predicted to map the perception of time in dream sleep, according to a prediction by a sleep expert. Traumatic events create intense emotions and result in time slowing down, similar to high-resolution slow-motion activity caught on a video camera.
