This might be a weird question, but... what other sense does your sense of time feel *most* like: vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, proprioception?

yeah for sure, i just feel there are interesting conceptual outcomes and reorientation if we temporarily consider memory as category that in a way precedes discretization of the senses 

eg memory over time allows us to understand that something is a “smell”

hmm, that feels more like the "space" you explore with the "sense" ... does memory recall feel more like smell or sight to you for example? I think the strongest memories feel like smell, but the default memories feel like sight perhaps

i know this isn’t a sense but also artistotle kind of made them up anyway, so i consider memory as sensory organ for time

oh that's a good one, I hadn't thought of it... it's actually better than my list

Perhaps dumb answer but hunger/sleepiness?

Gonna go with proprioception. What comes to mind is that sense of falling when going to sleep and then the sudden jolt awake

sleepiness and anxiety, not really senses but usually times when I can really sense time

Time feels like it originates in the same part of the brain where estimation comes from - Kahneman system 1 style.

When I go to the grocery store and guess the total at checkout without counting, whatever gives me that number also gives me my sense of time.

ime too, proprioception is a lovely way of describing it — i don’t (always) have to pay attention to it, and yet my bodymind is attuning to it 

i also feel like i’m “in” time in the same way i feel like i’m “in” space, in the way that space and relationship to self are continually being measured by my 

always in the background semi aware of my position in time even though I'm not actively or directly sensing it

Probably proprioception, because I'm a heavy visual/spatial thinker. Time feels like space to me. So sense of space (aka proprioception) feels closes to sense of time.

Wow, the most visceral feeling that says: none of the above.

Closer to ego, the idea of self than anything else.

To me it’s the opposite because music decorates time and a painting decorates space

time <> vision ("images of the past"), space <> hearing (sound reminds of a place or vice versa). taste+smell are almost "paradoxical" in that they both generate a strong sense of "presence" (i.e. time+space don't matter) but also strong memories, though more on an emotional level than "mental recall"

I played a ton of DDR as a kid so to me time is a spatial dimension I can feel, visualize, and hear and these things converge on one object

Mostly a combination of vision and sound - this is also what my memory consists of the most. I honestly find it hard to “remember” how something  tastes or smells from memory, but if I were to physically taste or smell something Ive had before I can recognize it.

Proprioception, because the sense of time is one of the less-obvious, abstract senses that you don't even realize is *a thing* until you experience an alteration of that sense. "Balance" is another one of those senses.
