Combining your comments and Andy's succinct summary - agreement, as far as both go. I receive them as a Start, anyway. I know a couple prescience stories too, one with physical evidence.

I think also -
Jung had more pithy observations than most of the well-read usually delve enough to uncover; 'tis folly to imagine that his relevance is merely re "picking a shrink". Ross's comments I most-always found to be eminently Reasonable - surely facilitated by his possession of a larger, more eclectic vocabulary than is found in many prof. scientists [so little time to read elsewhere?]
.. And ..
Anybody with as much talent as Ross -- can be as testy as he likes; regret that he determined we had become too predictable / uninteresting? judgmental or just stodgy (?)

Dreams are IMO the perfect litmus of our collective dearth of understanding about 'scale', levels of consciousness, inference .. and lots of other concepts we [1]bandy about. In brief, I've reached the conclusion that ~~ a scientist with no appreciation for, no exploration of the metaphysical is a handicapped scientist. Ditto re the metaphysically obsessed - sans any comprehension of math, the physical laws, how (mere..) *things* work. Both sole-practitioners are incomplete. (And Muricans' predilection for display-religiosity obfuscates to the extent that, the word 'metaphysics' is not even in most working vocabularies, I observe.)

Most of our thoughts/impressions are circumscribed by language, further by the size of our own recognition vocabulary -- and only metaphor can roughly communicate the Better ones, whatever the 'size'. So much noise, and so much of that taken-in voluntarily. (Some believe that the quality of 'impressions' we allow 'in' - matter.)

Combine these seemingly disparate angles-of-view, the scientific method and metaphysical work/discipline and {Gawd.. which metaphor} maybe that's where the occasional wisdom comes in on little pussy cat feet..?

Well, something like that. IS the arrow of time reversible? Probably a trivial Question, in the larger scheme..

(I also believe that there are almost certainly epiphanies, but there is no epiphany PGP-key insurance: pedestrian brain chem always can fool the gullible, suggestible into imagining what one wishes to find. Nor will there ever be an Epiphany-Proof, even with G\ufffddel escape clause.)
Catch 23. Love. It.

[1] Frequently I recall Feynman's more-than-cute quip, ~ ..people imagine that if something has a name - they 'understand' it. I have no doubt that RPF was not so much a magician (-grade 'genius') as, a genuine metaphysician. With Props!
