Inhaltsangabe

J. W. Dunne's An Experiment with Time, first published in 1927, sparked a great debate in the scientific community ― as well as a fair amount of controversy. Dunne (1866-1949), an accomplished aeronautical engineer and a designer of military aircraft, experienced a series of strange and vivid dreams that came true with shocking regularity. Using his precognitive dreams as an alternate model of time measurement and its relationship to dreams, Dunne proposed a concept of multidimensional time leading to higher levels of consciousness, and, eventually, immortality. This life-altering insight accounted for many of life's mysteries: the purpose of dreams and prophecy, the phenomenon of déjà vu, the concept of higher consciousness, and the belief in eternal life.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The theory of time has always been a source of philosophical conjecture and discussion. J. W. Dunne’s An Experiment with Time sparked a great debate in the scientific community—as well as a fair amount of controversy when first published in 1927. Dunne (1866–1949), an aeronautical engineer and designer of military aircraft, experienced a series of strange and vivid dreams that came true with shocking regularity. Re-evaluating the concept of time as multidimensional, he proposed the precognition of dreams as a prediction of future experiences by the dreamer, which would lead to higher levels of consciousness, and, eventually, immortality. This life-altering insight accounted for many of life’s mysteries: the purpose of dreams and prophecy, the phenomenon of déjà vu, the concept of higher consciousness, and the belief in eternal life. Dunne gives readers first-hand experiences and insights into the mystery of time and the dream state, and its evolution into the realm of cosmic consciousness.
