- awb 11mo agoSome hypothesize that flashbacks might be the brain searching for relevant useful memories, or hallucinating if it can’t find any. Or, perhaps emotions or physical issues cause your brain to function differently and it’s not an adaptive trait. Time slowing down does seem useful in the event you can actually affect your circumstances.
