"experienced in slow motion" is relative. There is nothing about time that allows one individual control over it's passing. Thus you could not have "experienced in slow motion", you could only PERCIEVE it in a different reference frame. The same could be said for sleeping. One could say that while asleep they "experienced in fast motion", in that a large period of time passes with very little attention to the details.

It would be more accurate to say that the frame of reference changed, and that it was PECEPTION, not TIME that changed.
