In the special relativistic frame of reference you describe time would
appear to slow as you *approach* the speed of light.  Exceeding it would
not be necessary and, iirc, time would seem to reverse if you somehow did
manage to do it.  Doesn't much matter since there's all sorts of asymptotic
behavior as you approach that value, infinite energy requirements, infinite
size results, etc.  (Which is why most modern SF doesn't bother with
lightspeeds and instead folds space, creates additional dimensions or
hyperspaces, of simply has things "move" from hither to yon without
explanation.)

Being that time is relative, you might be in a situation where you're
actually travelling faster than light, which would cause time to appear
to slow down. If that is, in fact, the case, then you'll have to
throttle back your space ship so that you're within normal operating
bounds and time will again settle back into it's pace.
