A fascinating look at author J. W. Dunne’s controversial model of multidimensional time, based on precognitive dreams. The proposed concept accounted for insights into higher consciousness and many of life’s mysteries.

J.W. Dunne's thought-provoking book, 'An Experiment with Time' delves into the realm of precognition and presents a groundbreaking theory of time known as "Serialism." Drawing on his own experiences, Dunne explores the phenomenon of precognitive dreams, where future personal events are foreseen by the dreamer. Building upon this foundation, he delves into the concept of multiple dimensions of time, each accompanied by a higher level of consciousness. Through his meticulous experiments and reflections, Dunne uncovers the intricacies of our perception of time, delving into the realms of past, present, and future.

A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year It was the year after Chappaquiddick, and all spring Carmel McBain had watery dreams about the disaster. Now she, Karina, and Julianne were escaping the dreary English countryside for a London University hall of residence. Interspersing accounts of her current position as a university student with recollections of her childhood and an ever difficult relationship with her longtime schoolmate Karina, Carmel reflects on a generation of girls desiring the power of men, but fearful of abandoning what is expected and proper. When these bright but confused young women land in late 1960s London, they are confronted with a slew of new preoccupations--sex, politics, food, and fertility--and a pointless grotesque tragedy of their own. Hilary Mantel's magnificent novel examines the pressures on women during the early days of contemporary feminism to excel--but not be too successful--in England's complex hierarchy of class and status.

A new edition of J W Dunne's famous and brilliant time theory work. A short, no fuss account of the theory without mathematics. Also in the series; An Experiment with Time; The Serial Universe; The New Immortality
