Time Travel


 

    

I frequently experience temporal displacement in small increments, approximately fifteen to thirty minutes at a jump.

This may well be a natural, if hitherto unacknowledged, human ability. I discovered this phenomenon without looking for it; in fact, I believe I experienced it many times before I realized it. Perhaps this happens to others, too.

In every instance of time travel, I observed the following conditions:

  • I am entirely naked.
  • The ambient temperature is elevated.
  • I am inside the temporal displacement chamber with the door (or curtain, in some chambers) closed.
  • At the moment of the jump, my mind is occupied with some routine task.
  • There is no direct perception of time travel, except through coincidental external events, until I leave the chamber.
  • The direction of travel is consistently forward, that is, into the future.
  • After the jump, my hair squeaks.

Some conditions occur frequently, but not always:

  • After a long jump, the ambient humidity is typically very high, even saturated.
  • An unusually long displacement may be accompanied by a sudden, sharp drop in temperature.

If you have had similar experiences, or if you have some explanation for this phenomenon, please let me know! Send me an email.
