I had figured out that I was God...atleast thats what was going through my head, once I started time again I looked to my right and gazed into my friends' eyes...instantly he said outloud "THIS GUYS GOD!" I said...that was tripping my friend because I had come to that conclusion myself...then my 2nd friend quietly and almost in a scared, shocked voice said "I...felt it too...I felt that you were God" I dunno what to make of this exactly but it has stuck with me...
Now that is very interesting. It appears that you were of the present completely (the only place) and had become suddenly lucid of reality itself, maybe. What really got my attention is how you said that both of your friends suddenly realized this had happened as well. It reminds be of an event that happened ever-so-often while I was still in primary school: As usual the classroom would be filled with loud conversation and laughing when all of a sudden, for no noticeable reason, everyone would just go dead quiet for little more than a second. Then afterwards, most students within the room would start laughing (maybe nervously) over the whole situation then commence talking again! It has never happen since, not even once when I was in high school (or any other situation where there is a large mass of people in conversation).

But going back to your post. It just goes to show what can happen when one is within the moment.
