Interesting stories. I used to and sometimes do still bump into things as well. Actually quite often. More so than others, as far as I know, but only when I can dream the surroundings, as it were, not if things move or if I don't know the place well. That's very interesting and I hadn't thought about that. It is in line with my theories.

I notice it with throwing, barely looking at a bottle I throw in the air spinning and then catching it, as well as with those square things pills are kept in (forgot the name), throwing those and catching them with the right side up, horizontally. It does take some concentration doing that.

Moving through crowds very quickly, between cars. Stuff like that.

With depression I can't do any of that well. Maybe just because I don't dare. It's definitely part confidence.

I never played video games much, but it's not the same, I think: it has to be a very rational thing, two "translations", from what you see to controls (which is very complicated an different for every game) and to your hands, it's an indirect route. If anything, we might generally be worse.

Stuff like that is great for psychological research. We apparently are quite good at it: quick to process. Reaction times are rather short.

It's not just faster thinking, also more "subconscious" integration, things that bypass reason, thought. More intuitive.

It touches on the core of our being as those with BP and SZ, I believe. It psychotic: irrational speed.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
