In Star Trek when one is transported, does it feel instantaneous regardless of if there is a need to store the person's pattern in the pattern buffer for any length of time? Is the sensation of transport instantaneous regardless of length of time between dematerialization and rematerialization?
NOTE: This answer is probably going to have to come from the expanded Star Trek media (prose novels, comics, etc.) as we don't really get a first person perspective from the shows/movies during transportation.
