Thanks for the info everybody. But to add on to that, would it be possible to send that info to your conscious mind? For example, know what time it is (almost exactly) without being near a clock or have been near a clock for a while.

Yeah I've been able to do that but according to tests I'm a "bit" above average when it comes to the ratio between my mental and chronological age.

Well, I'm pretty good at this if I don't overthink it. For example, I'm in class and really bored. Time seems to have dragged on forever, but I know that it has been about 20 minutes since I last looked. I glance at the clock and I'm within a minute. Even though time felt like it was going really slowly, I was aware of the time. It works better when time crawls though; when time seems to be going very fast it is much harder to know what time it really is.

I also always wake up before my alarm. Even in a lucid dream, I woke myself up on purpose at exactly 5:50 (on a weekend no less) out of habit it seems. In nonlucid dreams, (except recent ones since I've been tired) I also wake up before the alarm a lot of the time.

I can relate. In some dreams (non-lucid) I find myself thinking about waking up right before I actually wake up. One time I actually was thinking about my alarm the instant before it went off. And it was an alarm I had never set before, at a time I had never set before.
