About a week ago, I had a rather strange dream which has fundamentally reshaped my views on the concept of time and the afterlife.
In said dream, my best friend and I had both died. In doing so, we went to what I assume was heaven. I was greeted by a co-worker who in real life is still alive as well. But in the dream, she was our guide in this mysterious place.
We three were the only entities I could see, but it was the strangest thing: I could literally feel God all around us. God was not a person we could see, but rather almost an energy that was felt. I had never really understood that concept of omnipotence until I had this dream. God truly was everywhere, in the very fiber of the place we were in. God was the light, the warmth I felt... it was very surreal.
The other important thing about this dream was where we were standing. When I looked down, the floor was made of glass, and below was what appeared to be... well... everything. It's hard to describe, but we could see various points in time all at once, and we understood what was happening. It was like seeing our universe from a different angle. Our guide told us that we were flying over a certain period in time, and I remember seeing what appeared to be people in the dark ages, living day to day life in a town. I also remember witnessing a star going supernova across the universe at the same time. It's really hard to describe, but it was an incredible dream.
What I took from the dream was that time was not a line, but rather a sphere that can be traveled from within and outside of. However, the laws of our universe only allow time to turn forward, meaning that if our universe was a sphere, it would be moving in one direction, rendering us incapable of moving backwards.
But what if that sphere was contained in another sphere? And that sphere didn't move one way or another? If that were the case, we could travel to any point in time.We only need remove ourselves from the sphere that moves forward and then re-enter once we have reached the appropriate area. Of course the question remains, how does one escape the sphere? And that's a questions that we haven't seemed to answer yet.
Nonetheless, I propose that time travel is possible, but only if there are other dimensions in which to travel to.
...It was just a dream... who knows?
