Kind of my idea on this (not saying you stole, haha, just saying I have thought this before). OBEs may be doubted, but most religions believe that dreams can be used like Galadriel's mirror (dang it... new task for me to do) and can see things that were, are, and some things that have not yet come to pass. I think that in a religious sense dreams have been used by God, but in a scientific sense, I think that time might be a little less relevant in dreams then people think.
To explain my thought. Brains emit and receive signals.
We don't know much about them now. Yeah, we have mapped the brain, but we don't even know why we dream or need sleep, so I can easily say we don't know everything about it.
So why couldn't it receive things from the world around to make a picture in our minds while sleeping. For instance, seeing through eyelids is a common thing, too many people have had it to just dismiss. Where is their mind getting the information that it is obviously getting?
This can apply to shared dreaming, AP, OBE, and remote viewing.
So my next point is time... dejavu has been experienced by nearly everyone on earth. You saw something you could have sworn you saw before. Some people say "dreams are vague and when reality is close it makes you think you saw that before when you really saw something barely resembling that before." or"there is a chemical in the brain that is released when you feel familiar with something, sometimes it misfires, and you see something, but this time, you seem familiar with it, so you are sure you have seen it before." Lots of ideas like that.
I think that time may have some lapses. I don't know a hundred percent what I mean, but imagine this. You turn on your radio and you receive something that has been bouncing around in the ozone for years instead of the normal channel. It is a message brought to you from the past because of information stored in waves that radios can receive (rarely). All transmission have a delay, but information encoded in waves is my point.
Now we have the timeline of all things. When something emotional happens lets say it makes the waves bounce out in time, forward (like all waves normally go, so anything received this way would just look like a memory) and backwards in time. Normally this makes no effect, but sometimes it connects with you the right way back in time and you receive that signal early. I have had dejavu that I could tell what would happen for the next five minutes. Your brain is more open to receiving info when it is sleeping, so you get it in dreams normally.
Not saying that I 100% believe this, it is just a theory I concocted.
Mastermind, that is not a bad thought, change that around a bit and I could use it in a Bible teaching
Of course I only believe in one God (The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob), but that is still a great illustration.
