yeah, if time is a dimension just like space
then why can we only see backwards in time?
why cant we see forwards?
why cant i turn my head around to look other the other direction in time, the way i can turn my head around to look the other direction down the street?

You can not? 

Because you, are your limits!

Space, well. If you ask me, time goes backwards, forwards and stays the same. When we sleep, our minds don't have any recollection of time until we wake up again.

There aren't any barriers for time when we dream, right?

Time stands still, changing change, the movement, you are!

do you ever 'remember' things that haven't happened yet?

""I think this is why people are getting ideas of time spiraling backwards as it moves forward. For a future event to come into its past through such experiences, linear time has to ALSO be moving backwards in the linear sense.

I sit here and wonder what life would be like if you were hooked up aware in both flows all of the time, watching forward moments move by us before we move into them with the ability to change course if we don't like what we see. ""


so long!! hehe this is all very sureal to me, but i wrote this, and i dont know if i have posted it, before, but it realy suit your post so far!

When you are awake, you are conscious, when you are asleep, you are subconscious 
Our subconsciousness is our auto pilot.
When you have been awake a long time, the autopilot, configured in sleep, runs out.
As it runs out, one could start longing an auto pilot.

Like when you vision/eyes get all blurry, and the auto focus no longer is auto, but in your awareness, conscious effort is needed to get it sharp.
In sleep, we connect all the ?short-cuts? to use as a veil, so to not have to, let us say: consciously beating ones heart.

If you had to plan every beat, you would be in a neat state of mind, and suicide would be real easy.
This leads to the fact (?) that some animals, when kept awake as long as it takes, simply dies.
And the awareness ones inn, having fasted and not slept for many days on end, is simply the awareness of our subconscious nature.

Dying, much like shrooms, is the state of mind ones in, when the subconscious take over.
In eliminating the source of a conscious body, say your body gets chopped up, or in other ways, get beyond reconstruction. We retake a form, as the known, or we linger in infinity.
Being subconscious, bringing the awareness, not separating the dreamer and the dream, the thinker and the thought, we enter the realm of the Undead, some call it heaven, and some call it God.  And the list goes on.

We need sleep, to configure our lives, as a programmer need a code to make a program. (Amongst other stuff) He could not see the program, then later at night, reconfigure it.
But would have to see the code, for so to create the program.
Meaning, we do not live a day, then dream about it, alone.
We dream about a day, (in nods) and play.

Thus answering, when does a newborn, get awareness.
For in dreaming, they need only awaken, awaken as aware, aware of something, a light, a mom. So in the awakening of a body, you see, it can never be!

Ha-ha wrote some gibberish, why not post it, thought I! :
