I always thought it was normal that I could make time pass super quickly by "turning my head off" and living in a fantasy world for a while, but I guess it's not? I've lost a good chunk of that ability anyway, and long wait periods now annoy me.
I used to pass time by just replaying movies/TV shows from memory in my head. Gotta wait half an hour? That's okay; I remembered every scene and line of dialogue from The Simpsons last night.
I don't think it is quite the same thing as is being depicted in the art, the fact they are calling it an "episode" implies that it is involuntary.
If you are anything like me then talking aloud really helps with this, whenever I need to wait for something I just mutter little stories to myself while pretending to be on the phone. That is if I am not already thinking about something else.
That's a good point, actually. Episode makes it sound like it's a somewhat frequent, involuntary thing. Walking always helps me get into that "mood", which is why I really struggle with conversations or just looking at the scenery when strolling through a park. I always get lost in random thoughts on casual walks.
That sounds horrible, you are unable to use the ability when it is most needed but can use it when you very much do not need it.
