I believe it's possible for consciousness to skip time when very in tune with a certain activity

note I don't mean a psychological phenomenon. I mean you actually skip time. A prerequisite for this is that you are not observed by outward observers, nor observe them, because then your consciousness will tune with them and cannot'detach'

I've tested this by skipping seconds on the clock on my phone
an entire second disappeared

We were in the eyeline of the kids across the street though, and I feel like what you're describing probably wouldn't work for two of us at once, would it? Also this was almost an hour of time

I think it's an extreme example where you and your friend were focused on the same activity and those kids left without paying you two any mind

Interesting I guess I'll add it to my list of hypotheses. They are currently:

1. Alien abduction
2. Dimension shift
3. Some physical change like a gas leak that caused memory loss
4. A 'men in black' type situation where we witnesses something and our memories were erased
5. Your consciousness/time shift idea
