TimeExplorer, how much do you think this experience had to do with you personally? In other words, do you feel the "futuristic neighborhood" would have manifested had you not been there to observe it?

The experiences do seem to be finely calibrated for optimal muddiness. Just clear enough to lure us into the water, muddy enough to frustrate scientific measurment, but not too muddy to disregard as nonsense.

With respect, skunkape, this: seems like a great way to make any string of digits mean something, no?

Yes. Dwelling on what might happen to my kid's kids is sad. But in the big picture, I don't worry about "life on earth". Bacteria rule this planet and will be here no matter what we do.

If this happened to me, I'd be forced to choose: 1) Discard my narrative and replace it with a new nonsensical one that easily accomodates supermarket-dwelling elephants. 2) Deny the reality of the elephant and thus keep my narrative intact. 3) Try to ignore the elephant as if it didn't...

Yes. Perhaps I'm joking by calling them "screen memories" but I don't believe our memories are reliable as a record of actual experience. I also believe that we perceive the world as a kind of mutual hallucination: very little actual external input, and most information coming from the...

The "recovered" memories are presumed to be more real than the consciously remembered "screen" memories. But this is not a settled factual matter. My own view is that all memories are screen memories.

Thanks sharing, and welcome the forum. We may have many questions for you, but this does not necessarily mean that we doubt your story. Regarding this part: Is it correct that you did not remember the 1968 timeslip until 1971? Then you forgot it again until recently?

Second-hand dream report: A couple months ago my wife dreamt of sitting in an abandoned movie theater listening others debate about what to do about "tall walkers", as if there was a war and they were the enemy. Does that term "tall walkers" mean anything to anyone?

Thanks for sharing. It does seem like an odd coincidence, or like a reversal of the usual sequence, like the dream was about the attack. J.W. Dunne wrote a book about this long ago, he believed that 50% of our dreams are about events that have not yet occurred.

Yes, complete garbage. Especially the all the things they claim to have "proven".

Heh, nice one. The fact of the matter is that the universe is capable, through evolution & intelligent life, of understanding itself. This is astonishing.

There's an argument over whether intelligence can be properly experienced by a machine (see Dennet & Penrose) or just imitated. Penrose's belief that consciouness somehow emerges from quantum effects (such as the multiverse) holds an intuitive appeal for me. But of course there's no proof of...

Nice wallowing -- more please.

It need not feel like anything at all. It may have happened to you last night. Or perhaps you "born" last night and awoke this morning with a lifetime of memories already loaded.

Can I invite you to share them? I think you'll find a respectful audience here. If you'd rather not, that's fine too of course.

Twilight Sound System.

I like to do Google News searches on certain phrases, such as "gruesome discovery" or "grisly scene".

Practice makes perfect. But still pretty impressive.

Ham radio signals can actually be picked up by your speaker wires even if your amp isn't on. In college we used to hear very faint broadcast of an old fellow across the street from us talking to his ham radio buddies.
