Like a whole complete silence even though the area is usually bustling with activity? Or it has temoporarily stopped? The fact that suddenly there's no one there but you and the world has just went mute?
If this is posted somewhere, please point me to it, I haven't turned up anything.
Anyways........
In a few of my experiances this has happened.
The first was when I felt 'him' following me as I walked home from school and a store on the corner of the street by myself. Late as in maybe about 3;30 or 4. (back in the day we used to get out at 3:15) Even though I was a kid, I dunno how I knew but I just did that it was a guy following me down the street. And when I turned, no one was there and there was not a sound on the street. The only time there was sound was when I got to the last house on the street close to a bar. It was like the world had stopped for the entire time I was going down the street till I almost reached the stoplight.
The second was when I went to my uncle's house he used to own. When I rode my bike over, people were mowing lawns and cars were racing down the street, bitrds were chirping-the usual city sounds. From the time I noticed his neighbor till when I exited the porch to finally say Hi to her, there was absolute silence and no insect sound and not one in sight. As I was standing there puzzling over where she had went so quick, the sounds just faded in while I getting ready to get back on my bike.
A couple of years ago I went to the George Eastman house and I had a few experiences, mostly emotional and sense related. I felt as if it were raining outside and I was contantly looking out windows. When I wnet into the house, there was total silence and everyone who had been walking around seemed to have went off somewhere leaving me alone. For some reason at the time I wanted to go upstairs but that area wasn't open to the public. And then the world faded back in again and I realized that there were a few people coming up the stairs and going down as if they'd been there the entire time.
You can call me nuts but on 9/11 I woke up to total silence for a couple of minutes and then I heard what sounded like radio conversation and I got up and checked the TV's and radios which were all off and the neighbors were all gone for the morning. Why is that strange? If you live in my city, You'd know that airplane pilots have a habit of buzzing the neighborhoods closing in on the airport. I've been able to make out the words JetBlu, Fed-Ex, United and American Air and my neighborhood is a few thousand miles from the airport. After I checked the house, the sounds of the world just faded in again.
Anyone took the time to notice this? I noticed cause it's strange for such complete silence in the city, espcially on a street that has a couple of houses and an empty field directly behind it and on that street a housing project.

So, in short, your experiences are that you have moments when the entire world fades away--sound and vision (?)--and then you 'wake up' to everything in its normality?

I experienced this back on May 16th. It was at a party after my High School grad. I was up talking to some friends of mine, the music was loud, some people were over in a corner fighting, and all of a sudden amongst the confusion it seemed like everything temporarily stopped. It was only for about 5 seconds, but it was scary. Thinking about it now, it may have been just a "sensory overload", but who knows.

"Sensory overload." Great theory.
Were you at all stressed by what was happening?
