The Strange Progress of Time

theres alot we dont know and never will know about the reality of our beings. but for sure there is more to this than we know.... and dreams are the doorway to something bigger that humanity perhaps will never understand.

Great post, Caelus. 

As examples of the struggles I have in comprehending the 'normal' passage of time:

* I once watched a trailer, posted on a forum, for the film called 'Tenet'. I could not see anything especially unusual about the action depicted in the trailer, while others members raved about the action. So I asked them what they were excited about, and was told that time was portrayed as moving backwards or forwards or both; I hadn't noticed this at all, and everything looked normal to me.

* Another film, this time an excellent Australian movie titled 'Lake Mungo'. In one part of the film, the featured family appeared to be driving in reverse (or was it just me and my misperception?). Just about everywhere I looked, regarding reviews, it was stated that the film was about grief/bereavement; to me, it appeared to be about time and our misunderstanding of time. Although I'm prone to seeking deeper meaning in things when perhaps none actually exists or is meant by the creator(s), that backwards journey seemed incredibly significant. Of course, I could well be completely wrong about that.

i think perhaps it is us that are moving in time.... which makes sense when we literally are and every second that passes is us moving forward in time...

but perhaps outside of our bodies in a different state we can freely move any direction in time and use that movement to get to places faster and arrive in any time we desire. making it so when your having a outer body dream across the country in cornwall, you can drift across the country and arrive on the other side of the country where your from in no time at all due to using time itself to get there and then get back.... and before you wake up youd perhaps see something in the distant future, like your parents popping their heads in the door to wake you up to get ready in the morning, then youd wake up and see their heads pop through a bit later like you saw just before you got back into your body. kinda what happened to me when i was a kid in a caravan on holiday in newquay. which sealed the deal for me that dreams are more than just dreams and are real beyond what we understand. dreams have always felt very real to me forever since. 

had many interesting ones... ones that feel like a different life i already lived, as a reporter following soviet tanks through a ruined city, to be given a ruined apartment there to rest in for the time being and on my down time in the ruined apartment being sad and thinking of the family i left behind and that i may never see them again.

ofcourse then you get negative ones, my negative ones always seem to manifest in my old bedroom in the parents house, that bedroom was weird and im sure was possibly haunted. im leaving to my own flat soon and i had a aware real dream where i was in that bedroom again and i broke my chains from it and as i broke it a long haired perhaps dreadlocked person apeared and around him a brown aura shot out from behind him as his hair floated up and went towards me and consumed me with a thought that it wanted to erase my being and my personality along with panic and fear for no reason, followed by constantly repeated words "we are part of a unbreakable chain" repeated again before waking up. which i guess means my room was haunted and the thing doesnt want me to go lol .....

and also recently before going to bed before i got fully asleep i had words pop into my head "sunamoya" which i thought was probably japanese and possibly due to watching too much anime, but i googled that random word and it was african for "you didnt breathe" lol which at the time i was having breathing problems and chest tightness which i think i mentioned in a comment on another thread on here somewhere. but shows there is alot more to the sleeping world, we bridge the gap between realities and time and space.
