[Prologue]

In between waking and falling into sleep the world is silent 
and grey. All things are possible.  Nothing is beyond the 
spark of imagination. Who's to say we go no further than the 
space within our own minds? Some philosophers have 
argued that the world we enter as our eyes move beneath its 
thin shield of skin is just as real as the world of the waking. 
Perhaps even more real. Perhaps some of these dreams are 
places to which we might travel without knowing. Places to 
which we might be able to remain, if only we knew how. If 
only we were able to stretch our evolutionarily infantile 
muscles. To reach into the ninety percent of unused grey 
matter stuffed between our ears. Could we then cross into 
other dimensions? Reach into the past and future or alternate 
present time worlds? 

Psychics are able to tell a future or discern a past by tapping 
into the never-ending stream of energy that flows from one 
moment to the next.  Seeing the beginning of time and 
following the strongest path to the most logical conclusion. 
They will also tell you that the stream has an infinite number 
of splits along the way. At each moment, the path of reality 
as we know it continues or changes direction, based on a 
decision made at a prior moment. A decision made by 
someone, somewhere. Thus, a clear path moves ahead each 
second; a result of some path chosen the second before. But 
along the way, there are still these fainter paths fanning out 
from each second in time, leading off into other outcomes, 
other realities. The results of some other paths chosen. 

What if, as many philosophers have proposed, you are truly 
no more here in this stream of reality than you are in any 
other reality? What if you are able to step branch to branch? 
In fact, what if we already do this as we dream? And yet, 
because you perceive one circumstance as the reality, you 
wake into this same branch each morning. What if that 
perception was to shift?
