Pelee on the island of Martininque in 1902) led Dunne to re-evaluate the meaning and significance of dreams. Could dreams be a blend of memories of past and future events? What was most upsetting about his dreams was that they contradicted the accepted model of time as a series of events flowing only one way: into the future. What if time wasn't like that at all?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll of this prompted Dunne to think about time in an entirely new way. To do this, Dunne made, as he put it,\"an extremely cautious\" investigation in a \"rather novel direction.\" He wanted to outline a provable way of accounting for multiple dimensions and precognition, that is, seeing events before they happen. The result was a challenging scientific theory of the \"Infinite Regress,\" in which time, consciousness, and the universe are seen as serial, existing in four dimensions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAstonishingly, Dunne's proposed model of time accounts for many of life's mysteries: the nature and purpose of dreams, how prophecy works, the immortality of the soul, and the existence of the all-seeing \"general observer,\" the \"Witness\" behind consciousness (what is now commonly called the Higher Self). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haus of Darkness, Haus of Light","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53860345643374,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/8649\/0734\/files\/7_f52fa184-14e3-4d89-b193-c19f061d18ad.png?v=1780099834","url":"https:\/\/www.haus-of-darkness.com\/products\/an-experiment-with-time","provider":"Haus of Darkness, Haus of Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
