"Time as duration is a function of the strength of our instinctual wishes
and a metaphor for the integrity of the self in relation to the world of
internal objects....  Time appears to move slowly when instinctual wishes
remain unfulfilled or become repressed and time appears to move quickly when
wishes become converted into, or replaced by, superego demands and
expectations that one resents." (pp. 363-4)
