Types of times

Sometimes I live a lifetime in an instant. We've all experienced that.
Other times, a short time becomes an eternity - or close to it.

Having fun makes time go by quickly. Time can shrink.
Being bored makes time go slowdown to a crawl. Time expands.

Dreams are complicated, long convoluted ones can last only seconds.
A revelation, an AHH! moment is instantaneous. What is an instant?

How long does an instant last, asked the young lady to the poet.
He answered, all my life with you will be an instant.
Love and you'll live forever because it fills all the crevices of time.

So, is an instant the same as eternity, or the experience to jump into a wagon that takes us into a place without time?
