differing perception of speed

Yesterday, I showed Qiao the Right Up Our Alley drone video which I posted about before.

But the drone seemed to be flying so fast this time that it felt disorienting and unreal to me. Too fast for me to see much of the bowling alley or the people in it. I could barely make out the words spoken in the video as they went by so quickly too. Certain that the video wasn't playing correctly, I brought it up on another device, but it had (or seemed to have) the same problem there too.

Later that day I compared the video length displayed in the video to the amount of time it took to play; the numbers matched.

Today I had the idea to play back the video at 0.75 speed, and that way it feels and looks much better to me, like when I watched it the first time, though the audio sounds somewhat distorted at the lower speed. I'm still confused as to why the normal playback seems different to me now than before.

lucid dreams

I had several lucid dreams this morning, and unlike most times, I didn't wake up right upon realizing they were dreams. Instead, I was able to try controlling the dreams, though with only partial success. I was able to levitate myself and fly. I was able to fly straight through a bedroom window, with the glass dissolving around me. I was able to make a wall become transparent, although I'm not sure why... there was an aggressive dog on the other side of the wall barking at me. I tried to make that dog disappear as it wasn't real; I don't think I succeeded but after that is when I flew through the window, so it no longer mattered. Other things in the dreams kept thwarting me.

In one dream, I thought I was awake, and that Qiao was on the other side of the bedroom door. I tried to get up to open the door for him, but I was too tangled up in the sheets and blankets. When I tried to speak, to yell to him, my voice was too faint to hear. That happens in my dreams every once in a while, I'm struggling to be heard, but can't make my voice come out more than a whisper.
