Yes, We Time Travel in Our Dreams

But Can We Change, Alter, or Fix the Future? — I have been an active dreamer all my life, with vivid dreams transporting me to other realities since I was a little girl. As much as we remember our former selves, we also forget; and as such, I forgot that I was a student of dreams even as a teenager…

The People in Your Dreams Aren’t Who You Think They Are

Unless They Are — I’ve been faithfully tracking my dreams for the past six years. By faithfully, I mean almost daily I write down one or more of my dreams in an app on my phone. I chronicle my dreams in the app as opposed to a notebook due to the convenience of the…

Are We Missing Messages from the Future?

How We Fail to Understand Subtle Cues From Beyond — I am, and arguably have always been, obsessed with the concept of time travel. Like most of my generation, I previously believed time travel would require some sort of vehicle a la Back to the Future, or a highly sophisticated method of teleportation a la Quantum Leap. I suppose I…

What Cyclical Time Is and Why It Matters

How to Be Aware of Repeating Events, Dynamics, & Moods — The simplest way of defining cyclical time, especially for the purposes of this article, is the trackable repetition of the events of our lives and history. Most of us already are aware of some very basic examples of cyclical time: the moon phases, the female reproductive cycle, the beginning and…

The Coming Reality Crisis

What Dreams, Video Games, the Attention Economy, and the Metaverse Have in Common — It’s not entirely accurate to say this, but I spend a lot of time in dreams. It’s inaccurate because time is measured differently in dreams, if it can be measured at all. My dream research has led me to believe dreams are timeless, and spaceless, even if we experience something…

How to Remember More Dreams

And Why Bother With Dream Recall or Dreamwork — For years, I was always surprised when friends or family would claim to not remember their dreams. I would be even more incredulous when someone would say to me, “Oh, I don’t dream.” What? How could that be? My dream life was always so active, rich, and plentiful. I had…

The Blessing of a Forgotten Dream

It’s Critical We Remember Dreams, So We Can Be Grateful We Forget Them — Last night, about an hour after falling asleep, I woke up very shaken. There was a dream, I think. It didn’t feel like a dream. It felt real. I was both witness and participant. My perspective wasn’t first-person, but the intensity with which I felt the despair of the situation…

Why I Don’t Chase Lucid Dreams

But I might practice it with more intention — Lucid dreaming. It’s a currently popular practice (especially among young adults) — along with reality shifting, witchcraft, and erotic fan fiction — that I wish had been accepted and popularized when I was a teen. I’d have gleefully experimented with all those practices as a younger person. Life would have…

Back Home

I. I’m sitting in a Starbucks in South Jersey reading Cavafy’s “Ithaka” and crying. This is because I am finally back home. I don’t remember The Odyssey well enough to know whether Ulysses cried upon his own return. This is the risk of feeding classic literature to teenagers — they…
