EDNOTE. As an aside--among the unpublished VN papers there is a "dream
diary' from the sixties in which was, inter alia, trying to test the
theories of J.W. Dunne, a British enthusiast who tries to use dream evidence
to argue that time was no linear but circumambient. There are traces of
Dunne's theories in ADA. A Russian scholar (Glushanok?) has written about
this.
