You might not be thinking of time in the proper sense. Time is not just the measurement of things that pass by. Time and our 3D world ARE spacetime. Time is another dimension in which matter is located just like the other three dimensions. There are essentially two definitions of time, and you are probably using the popular (and incorrect) one. I still believe the "incorrect" version of time is real, though, as two events can occur at the same "time". Perhaps we just need another word and call them two different things!
What I said above might sound ridiculous, but it is true. I just did not describe it very well (which may indicate I do not understand it very well.)
