Déjà rêvé

(A visual explanation link is added below. Take all of this with a grain of salt, while this may be possible it is just another theory, and as any theory it remains to be proven.)

Once, I had a weird experience in which reality seemed to become layered. Absolute reality was on the other side and "I" was on this end. Yet everything I did went through all these layers and everything that was in reality also went through each and every single one of these layers, and I could clearly perceive these impulses getting through each layer to reach me and how my interactions were going through each layer to reach the other side.

So why was this and why do I not experience this when I'm fully awake? well one theory is this was just an illusion. but another theory as to what it could be if it wasn't an illusion is, well the fact that there is indeed an infinite number of layers between the unquantifiable mind and the quantifiable nature. And when we're awake we are only separated by one but there I was aware of this to a certain degree.

But nature's underlying condition should be unquantifiable, although we see a quantifiable nature and we do not know why yet. So there is an infinite number of layers between the infinite mind and the finite reality, and there is probably an infinite number of layers between finite reality and the infinite unknown.

Now there is another question that comes up as to why we're only separated by one layer and not infinite. To address this we can use the idea that between 1 moment of time and another moment in time, there is infinite amount of time. To explain this I'll use a simple equation: Δt = t - t', now between these 2 times there could be an infinite amount of time. i.e. Δt = Δt₁ + Δt₂ + Δt₃ + ... + Δtₙ, n ∈ ℤ.  and therefore, as illustrated here we can divide a change in time into infinity.

And as you can see here I used integers instead of natural numbers to indicate that there could be times where the time could move forward too. But then it adds up to a positive Δt. Now the question is how can we go through all these infinitely small times forwards or backwards? The answer is that we move through these times infinitely fast too, and infinitely fast forward or backward. Yes, there could be minuscule times where we are out of sync with reality. But out of sync with reality by ourselves, not with machines, which is a theory to explain déjà rêvé. (a negative Δt correcting itself to be a positive Δt but adding the missing time, thus us forgetting it ever happened at all, if this effect is real, but it is indeed theoretically possible).

As to why this happens when we sleep, this is also explained by the state I was in when I experienced it, as it was not a fully awake and present state, just like sleeping.

So we move through this time at an infinite velocity and we match the changes that happens and similarly, to the layers I saw, this could be the explanation. Me getting caught up with reality infinitely as fast as the time passes. and when I was in that state, it slowed down and me catching up upto it was lagging behind.

When I was in this state I could see the impulses flow through each and every frame but I couldn't tell the exact way or what exactly it was, which then can explain déjà rêvé phenomenon very well.

So there is a me on one side, catching up infinitely fast with an infinitely fast time and the quantification of time only happens relative to other things. which means as I said before (in one of my previous blog posts) time and space are indeed infinite and only exists when we observe it relative to other things in it. but without the observation, there is no relativity between anything and therefore it all happens all at once infinitely.

So the mind is catching up infinitely with reality, which is then also broken into infinity, which is then observed at an infintely fast rate by the mind, and whence there are negative Δt and it's balanced out with a positive Δt, it matches up with each one but only get vague memories of what happened in that negative Δt. as to why we only remember the vague memory is because we haven't caught up to it yet. but indeed we can ourselves be faster than the changing time, which is then also is only a vague memory as the understanding self hasn't arrived there yet. because for some reason it ("it" being total awareness) lags behind, as demonstrated heavily to me while I was in that state. but this is a part of a bigger question.

So the infiniteness of time is shown, thus by extent space, i.e., infinite space within each point of space, the infinitely fast catching up we do is also shown, why deja reve happens is shown, and all that remains to answer is, why does Δt have to equal to a positive? and why is the mind "slow" to catch up to reality? (if this is indeed how it works and my experience wasn't an illusion). But as I said, this is part of the quantification problem, as somehow even with these infinities, the quantifiableness of nature exists relative to other quantifiable things.

But also the question: why is it arbitrary that these Δts can be positive and negative, and why is it also arbitrary that we also get ahead of reality in the frames we have (if we indeed do too)? but these ones are up to a law of probability, as the chance of these happening is low, with a much higher chance (to take an metaphoric example out of QM) to "stay within the well rather than tunnel through it"

Of course the nature of reality and time can stand on its own, and it could lead to many other ideas, but right now this is what I observed, so I included it to make sense of some other phenomenon. since we do not know the nature of consciousness or awareness.

Edit: So while it's true that déjà rêvé can be explained as a neurological phenomenon, where there is a glitch in th brain where the real time even is perceived as a memory, this explanation is meant to offer a concrete idea on how this happens, as this there is no current theory to sum it all up well, but why still remains to be seen. We need to do more studies on brain states of dreaming.
