Psychological Time is so a part of inner reality that even though the inner self is still connected to the body, we are, in the dream framework, free of some very important physical effects. Now, as dreams seem to involve us in duration that is independent of clock time, so can we achieve the actual experience of duration as far as our inner visions are concerned.

Clock Time was invented by the ego to protect the ego, because of the mistaken conception of dual existence; that is, because man/woman felt that a predictable, conscious self did the thinking and manipulating, and an unpredictable self did the breathing and dreaming. He/she set up boundaries to protect the ‘predictable’ self from the ‘unpredictable’ self and ended up by cutting the whole self in half.

Originally, Psychological Time allowed man to live in the inner and outer worlds with relative ease, and man/woman felt much closer to his/her environment. In prehistoric times, mankind/womankind evolved the ego to help him/her deal with camouflage patterns that he/she had, himself/herself, created. This is not contradiction, as will be explained later. He/she did the job so well the even when he/she had things well under control, he/she was not satisfied. He/she developed at a lopsided level. The inner senses led him/her into a reality he/she could not manipulate as easily as he/she could physical camouflage, and he/she felt what he/she thought of as a loss of mastery.
