John William Dunne was an Irish aeronautical engineer and author. In the field of parapsychology, he achieved a preeminence through his theories on dreams and authoring books preoccupied with the question of the nature of time.

“In my own case, I employed this experiment mainly in order to seek for the barrier, if any, which divides our knowledge of the past from our knowledge of the future. And the odd thing was that there did not seem to be any such barrier at all.”
J.W. Dunne, An Experiment with Time

“Where all is fog, a blind man with a stick is not entirely at a disadvantage.”
J.W. Dunne

“If prevision be a fact, it is a fact which destroys absolutely the entire basis of all our past opinions of the universe.”
J.W. Dunne, An Experiment with Time
