Slow Motion Pain

so a little while ago i woke up from this terrible dream which culminated in gibbo's kitchen with some anonymous freak smashing my lower leg with a ball peen hammer. a lot of other fellini-esque things preceded this. the reason i'm writing about it is because i experiened a personal dream first: everything, including the pain from the hammer blow, was in slow motion. it was really brief, like in the matrix. the hammer-wielding arm was cocked back in real time, but the moment it began to swing forward, everything went slow-mo and streaky. when the hammer reached my leg, i felt a wave front begin to spread out from the point of impact. it was like large ripples of water were spreading out from the surface of my leg inwards toward the bone. then, like a lit fuse reaching a load of dynamite, the front ripple suddenly exploded into massive waves of red hot pain that shot out in every direction. a couple seconds into that, (which means like 2 milliseconds of normal time) and i was like 'ok, this sucks; i'm waking myself up'.
