what is time?
we have been taught since young that time is a horizontal element. picture a horizontal timeline, with many incidents that mark our yesterdays, today and tomorrows, marked onto that timeline. what happened in our yester years are called history, and what happends ahead are called future.
now, imagine time to be a vertical element. that same timeline is now turned to be a vertical line. every incident are lined up together on a single straight line. that single line is an eternal moment. the everlasting moment of NOW. there are no yesterdays, today and tomorrows. everything is taking place in a single moment. right now.
picture an application of this concept of time. dreams are an excellent example. many say that there several explainations of what dreams are, and what they represent. based on these, a dream could be the projection of the conscious/subconscious mind. you have an exam that you are nervous about, and you have a nightmare about doing badly. another says that your soul travels through time when you sleep. thus, what it experiences during the travels are projected to you as a dream. that dream could be about a certain memory, about a death of loved on who has not passed yet, about past or future events. when you sleep, your soul hops from one "incident" to another on the straight vertical timeline.
even though these explainations do not dispute one another, they do not compliment each other either. here's another one. when the body is asleep, the soul travels to a parallel universe/reality. what it sees there is projected as a dream. you exist in that parallel universe but probably in a different environment. different time, different circumstances.
based on this, dreams could be what happens to us in a different universe. that universe could be in a different condition. it could be running ahead of our time. thus, we see the possible future. it could be running behind our time. thus, we see the possible past.it could be even running under totally different circumstances. thus, when you dream that you are going to do badly in the exam, you might not really do so. it could have happened to you in a different universe.
it's good to be with mary's blessed company...
