The Dreaming World -1.6180339887

The present seemingly appears to be our only playing field in which the human existence thrives; but what could happen if the cognitive aspect of our experience could be moved beyond the parameters of now, into the past or future? We are told that even if time travel was possible, that there's risk of a paradoxical loop arising if changes are made in our past; and that it could catastrophically obliterate the point of our beginning, if made before we were born.

What if a secretly hidden technology made it possible for an individual's consciousness to travel in the mind of someone else's, already existing in another place and time, and then return without having to disturb or alter history? We can look at the past with photographs, videos, history books, or in our memories. Dreaming and thinking about the future with our hopes and imagination, or envisioning what prophets and psychics tell us are about the only ways it can be looked at mentally; or is it? If we had the choice, into who and where might we go? What if the choices made are not our own? Without warning, we could be unknowingly hosting travelers from the future...
