Really, really excellent post, Jame.

This part was my fav (though all was v good):

To come to this conclusion, think of Gettysburgh, are they ghosts that haven't yet moved on, or is the energy so strong from the demension we believe to be the past, that we're able to see it as it is still happening?

To me, my dreams are a reality as valid as my waking. Reality is much more subjective to me these days. So when I dream I take it into full consideration. And I agree that I was at the time simply remembering an astral visit with a parallel self.

I also remember reading a few experiences people have shared in which they bilocated and in which people saw them in two places at once. And maybe it was indeed one of the many selves slipping over to the dimension of person who was telling the story.

There's so much to explore here. Great topic and great explanations, JJ!
