Time is an abstraction produced by the mind when motion is perceived.
I think that you're conflating the perception of time with time itself. A little over a century ago an eccentric Swiss patent clerk won a couple of Nobel Prizes for demonstrating the existence and very peculiar behaviour of spacetime. Time is one facet of the spacetime that is the foundation of all reality. Time isn't just the clock ticking it's where the universe lives.
