We know consciousness is not "real time" if for no other reason than eye saccades. Our consciousness is essentially off while our eyes move, and when they stop we guess at what we think happened and our consciousness catches up. We don't experience the lost time. Seems that not only is our conscious mind a passenger, it lies to itself to pretend it is in control, by rationalizing decisions made by the unconscious. Quite jarring when your subconscious decides decides to do something your consciousness can't fathom, like attempt to catch a falling knife.
