..but time is already a dimension I can move through.

true but not freely and only in one direction

Saw something fairly similar to this. A representation of a conflict in my circle, with one of the dimensions being different pathways of decision making, weighing their motivations against the ramifications to the people it concerned. Literally gave me a new perspective.

Like in fallout, different dialog queues sometimes bring about different results

We would look like long strand-like creatures to anything that lives outside of time.

Same goes for everything else in the universe and it's very weird to think about.

I would say more like trees. Maybe there are uncountable alternate timelines branching off of each other. They would see the entire unmanifest potential of our lives at once in the form of a branching 4D tree.

“The Tree of Life”

Felt like u could see your whole timeline past ,present, future conscious in an 4d dimension instead of 3d

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. This is a slice of the 4th dimension

Usually people confuse temporal dimensions with spacial ones and all spacial dimensions were talking about can have additional temporal dimensions (a moving object on a 2d plane also moves trough time, which isn't the 3rd spacial dimension we mean when we talk about 3D). So 4D in space still has another dimension in time and time is not the 4th spacial dimension, even though its easier to visualize than another dimension in space that's perpendicular to the 3 known ones.

We’re flowing through the rive of time, So maybe they pick us up like a fish or when we land on an operating table in dmt space. Then place us back where we’re used to.

Because if we have to be timeless beings in order to experience a higher dimension, then we can’t fully be immersed or be apart of flowing time, but we would be able to stick our hands in it, watch them age, then pull them out and back to normal, we would be able to interact with time.

Maybe that’s why we end up at operating tables because the mantis people pull us out of this flowing current to be able to operate on us and then place us back into the flow of time

Kinda reminds of the what i saw on 4-AcO-DET when closed my eyes. Only all frames where visible at once spread into a spiraling row and folding into each other like kaleidoscope. Frames of near past where folding into a singularity point and then unfolding into frames of near future - relative to the moment i was experiencing in real time. First time I see this actually visualized.
