This case is sometimes called special relativistic time dilation. The faster the relative velocity the greater the time dilation between one another, with the rate of time reaching zero as one approaches the speed of light (299,792,458 m/s).
This causes massless particles that travel at the speed of light to be unaffected by the passage of time.

The mind can move fast.
So going by this special relativity can the mind stop time?
I do know we can enter another dimension going beyond our perceived space.
Out of body experiences show this place that we call reality is not the only place we can exist in.
Then why is this ability not being used to expand our minds and advance human potential?
Becoming multidimensional beings and also having timeless thought might be able to help solve some problems.
Several problems here:
(1) The mind does not have a physical velocity. You're conflating general usage and he rate at which you perceive your surroundings with the much more specific velocity that applies to SR.
(2) I don't know what particular advantage you think you'd have from possessing a mind running at a slower rate than the rest frame of its body. It would have less time to process the same amount of information as a stationary mind. I can't see how that would benefit you.
(3) OBEs have nothing to do with leaving the body and everything to do with altered states of consciousness. Everybody experiences these as dreams, but if you're experiencing altered states of consciousness while awake then you should seek medical attention immediately. I'm not saying this to be unkind but because what you describe could be the symptoms of something horrifying. Get it checked by a professional.
