Thread: Actual time travel, through dreaming, based on stored memories.

If the brain stores all that our senses has recorded, and one know how not to forget dreams… Then, could not the dream, be a recreation of the memories, with more to it?

Like you can recall some event? Like picture it and smell even, but when awake here, those recalled senses are not even close to the real thing, probably depending on how relaxed you are.

But, when asleep here, and awake in a dream, one could go in to the details. That is if the brains store all e.g. pictures that the eyes ‘let in’… (Which I BTW kind of doubt that we do not, with our huge unexplored brains.)

This is just such an interesting possibility I see, that I would like some other peoples input on. Pleas?

If I understand correctly, what you're suggesting is that we can relive memories that are stored in our brains during dreams.

We can relive memories whilst under hypnosis, but I don't know how accurately one can recall a memory using dream incubation (I've never done it) or if one can "replay" a memory in a dream as if taking a DVD off a shelf and putting it in the player.

If this were possible (and it might be, if one had considerable dream control or willpower or ability to convince subconscious etc.) you'd then be able to be lucid in the "dream" in the past, doing things differently or whatever.

I doubt, however, that it would have any effect on the waking world, it'd simply be another dream. Also, it wouldn't be the same as time travel in that you couldn't go back in time to another place accurately (for example to when JC was crucified or something) because you weren't there to see it and store it in your brain DVD rack.

Those are my thoughts anyhow?

Yes you can. The brain is a marvellous instrument, isn't it?

i guesse i agree with 13redfan. but who knows...the brain is very big and we dont know yet all of it's parts. I always thought, (and i still beleive it) that dreams and all those APs and other unnatural things take place exactly in those parts of our brain that we dont know about.

Like you said, if the brain stores everything. It doesn't, there's simply too much information. That's what short- and long-term memory are for. If it doesn't make it past short-term, it isn't going into the long-term. I recently read an article that stated our memories are only as strong as our last memory of said event. So every time you "remember" something, you're either reaffirming your version of it, or messing it up.

Also, it stated this is because when you remember something, the old memory is erased from the neurons and located in new ones. Very technical stuff I couldn't understand, but was all around sound. I'll try and find the article.

Doing high-school level psychology, sadly I don't know how accessing all our lives' events would be possible. New synapses are formed and broken constantly, and as The Wig stated, there's simply too much information. Duration and Retention are potentially unlimited (talking about memories) but not Storage. I personally would love to believe in a form of personal life TiVo...

But the thing is, Scientists have agreed that at BEST we use 10% of our brain, and that is on a good day, most average around 5%

Now yes, I admit that we do experience much in our lives, and it would be a lot of memory to store,

But the capacity of the brain is just amazing, and what is going on in the other 90% of the brain? Could it be possible in these parts that we have not learned to access yet, that we have storage of all memories we have ever had...... Possible, Yes I think so

And also to break away from the brain itself, I am a strong believer that our Soul itself, or Spirit, has its own memory banks, Storing memories of past lives, karma...etc...

And if you are a believer of the Collective Conciousness, you would believe that all memories are stored in the energy of the universe, every single thing a person has experienced, every thought, every idea....etc...
And can be accessed through deep meditation, astral travel...etc...

And than we can go into the Akashic records...

It really depends on your beliefs too...

I think its a shame just to limit ourselves so much...

We are truly full of potential

Very good thinking! I also think this can be true. Unfortunetly we dont know how to access the rest 90%. At least not yet.

Oh definitely. But just to clarify something, just to 'clarify' http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/tenper.html . That aside, I honestly don't want to limit ourselves, and the idea of a spiritual storage makes sense in the eternal pursuit of 'enlightenment'. Does it not?

All in all, our memories are not always linked to just our experiences, and that's why you can always entail the fact that other living organisms might have the physical memory of our experiences, catch my drift? And say there really is all those other planes and spiritual retainers and what not (I wouldn't know seeing as I'm really just ignorant), then simply why not?

No, we only use 10% of our brain at a time. We use all of brain throughout the day. There's no zones that aren't active. But maybe that's what you meant.

Like I said, scientists say we use all of our brain, not just 10%. It's just that not all of our brain is active at the same time. Just imagine how much information the average human gets in a sixty year period. It's mind blowing. You'd have to remember the color of every item you ever saw, the exact position, what it looked liked, etc...it's staggering to think about. The brain is indeed powerful, but not that powerful. It's powerful enough to know what information is junk and what won't matter in the long run.

I'm not trying to be a downer, and indeed we do have massive potential as conscious beings. Maybe there is a soul that stores every thing we've ever experienced (although I don't believe so). But it isn't our brain that does it, I can tell you that. There just isn't enough neurons in there, no matter how many trillions we have.


EDIT: Just so I can make my point a little clearer, take for example the eye. Magnificent creation if I do say myself, one a lot of us couldn't live without. Now, what is the eye doing? Does it hold still? No. It wavers back and forth, constantly moving. It's probably one of the strongest muscles we have just because it never stops moving (not even while sleeping) and thus is always exercising. Now, what is the eye really doing? It's gathering information. But imagine if it processed everything right away and sent it to your brain. It moves tons of moments per second, it would just overload you. So it makes "fake" images of what it probably looks like, and because it's such and advanced evolved thing, it does so extremely well. The brain helps out a bit of course.

A few links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsaccade

There also exists in the eye a "blind spot". There are certain exercises you can do to locate this spot and experience it, and it's pretty neat to be honest, but it just goes to show the eye isn't a perfect thing. It needs these saccades and movements to continually build up our environment around us. I wish I had a better link to this instead of just spouting this off from memory. I'll try and find one.

wow, thanks for those links and all. I didn't know we use ALL of our brain. It's not my fault. I'm 17 and we still study at school that we use only around 14% of our brain. Sad isn't it? lol But seriously, how come students still sutdy that if it sin't true.
