J.W. Dunne (1866-1949) was an accomplished English aeronautical
engineer and a designer of Britian's early military aircraft. His
An Experiment with Time, first published in 1927, sparked a great
deal of scientific interest in--and controversy about--his new
model of multidimensional time.
A series of strange, troubling precognitive dreams (including a
vision of the then future catastrophic eruption of Mt. Pelee on the
island of Martininque in 1902) led Dunne to re-evaluate the meaning
and significance of dreams. Could dreams be a blend of memories of
past and future events? What was most upsetting about his dreams
was that they contradicted the accepted model of time as a series
of events flowing only one way: into the future. What if time
wasn't like that at all?
All of this prompted Dunne to think about time in an entirely
new way. To do this, Dunne made, as he put it,"an extremely
cautious" investigation in a "rather novel direction." He wanted to
outline a provable way of accounting for multiple dimensions and
precognition, that is, seeing events before they happen. The result
was a challenging scientific theory of the "Infinite Regress," in
which time, consciousness, and the universe are seen as serial,
existing in four dimensions.
Astonishingly, Dunne's proposed model of time accounts for many
of life's mysteries: the nature and purpose of dreams, how prophecy
works, the immortality of the soul, and the existence of the
all-seeing "general observer," the "Witness" behind consciousness
(what is now commonly called the Higher Self).
Here in print again is the book English playwright and novelist
J.B. Priestley called "one of the most fascinating, most curious,
and perhaps the most important books of this age."
