Could our dreams actually be pieces of our future getting imprinted in our functional memory? Could synchronicities be due to precognition rather than some sort of « metaphysical messaging »?

Dr Eric Wargo joins us in this episode to blow the lid off of our most tightly held convictions about the passage of time.
