series of events; in this series the single events which we remember<br />
appear to be ordered according to the criterion of 'earlier' and<br />
'later'. There exists, therefore, for the individual, an I-time, or subjective<br />
time. This in itself is not measurable. I can, indeed, associate<br />
numbers with the events, in such a way that a greater number is associated<br />
with the later event than with an earlier one. 12<br />
These words of Einstein's show how we are completely conditioned<br />
to think that time flows forward.<br />
As Barnett wrote, Einstein showed that, "space and time are<br />
forms of intuition, which can no more be divorced from consciousness<br />
than can our concepts of color, shape, or size." 13 According to<br />
the Theory of General Relativity: "time has no independent existence<br />
apart from the order of events by which we measure it."<br />
Since time consists of perception, it depends entirely on the perceiver—and<br />
is therefore relative.<br />
The speed at which time flows differs according to the references<br />
we use to measure it, because the human body has no natural clock<br />
to indicate precisely how fast time passes. As Barnett wrote, "Just as<br />
there is no such thing as color without an eye to discern it, so an instant<br />
or an hour or a day is nothing without an event to mark it." 14<br />
The relativity of time is plainly experienced in dreams. Although<br />
what we perceive in a dream seems to last for hours, in fact, it only<br />
lasts for a few minutes, and often even a few seconds.<br />
An example will clarify the point. Assume that you were put into<br />
a room with a single window, specifically designed; and were<br />
kept there for a certain period of time. A clock on the walls shows<br />
you the amount of time that has passed. During this "time," from the<br />
room's window, you see the sun setting and rising at certain intervals.<br />
A few days later, questioned about the amount of time spent in<br />
the room, you would give an answer based on the information you<br />
had collected by looking at the clock from time to time, as well as by<br />
counting how many times the sun had set and risen. Say, for example,<br />
you estimate you'd spent three days in the room. However, if<br />
