Dream 63: Manipulating Time
In this dream I had either developed or learnt a method of going back in time. It was something to do with drawing lines around a certain scene and then stepping into that scene and going over it again. The rules meant that you could only go back to personal scenes and for a short section of time. You could revisit a time when you said or did the wrong thing and put it right, make it better. The drawback was that whatever you altered wouldn't be allowed to affect your future/current life to any great extent. It couldn't change the course of history so to speak and make great changes, like you suddenly became a different person or gained fame and fortune if you didn't have it. But you could change small things, personal moments, make something a little better, or say the right thing instead of the wrong thing to make someone else's life a little better.
I had a few trial runs in some scenes. The trick was to put the lines in the right place within the moment in time, so you arrived at the best moment to make the change. I had to do one scene a few times to find the right place to make the best changes, but it worked out in the end. It was like editing a script whilst playing the out the scenario in real time. The other people didn't realise so you would try to steer the scene in a certain way yourself - didn't always work the first time! Non of the changes affected the course of my life, except to make me and those involved a little happier; take back things said in the heat of the moment, or explain something that was misunderstood. Small changes which had enormous affect on our well being. Quite a nice device really......
