IIRC, it takes time for the brain to synchronize the input of the ears, eyes and other senses. [eg sound reaches one ear before the other. The brain therefore gets two inputs, time shifts them to match, and gives you both sound and location based on the difference in time.] It then does the same to sync all the other senses. It also filters out the vast majority of inputs, so as not to overwhelm you, such as the tension from your socks. All of which take up to 100th of a second for adults, less for children. In order to not have a delay (which would totally impair regular actions such as catching a ball), the subconscious constantly sends imaginary scenes to the consciousness of what it expects to be happening in the real world, and updates them as things go along. So, the clock ticking are not just timed backwards as described in this thread; instead all along you were getting "imagined" reality. In fact, our entire life we are living in a contrived reality, that are being updated with a lag, in the next incoming imaginary scenes. (I have heard variations of the above from doctors, psychologists and magicians, and have read some articles, but am not actually knowledgeable - would love corrections if I am wrong)
