Things to be aware of when inadvertently time travelling.
Things to be aware of No.1
No one in the past is aware you are there. You are
invisible to them. You have no impact on the past. You can breathe, touch,
feel, smell (but not taste) your surroundings, but you leave no physical marks
or impressions. You can step on a soft sand pit and leave no markings. One
theory is that the body entering the past is one-half of a dimension removed,
where presence and accessibility are one-way as a sort of security shield or
protection from interference. What has happened has happened and cannot be
changed.
Things to be aware of No.2
As per No.1, you cannot leave anything behind. What
you take in will come out with you. You cannot leave notes or messages. Small
snacks and bottled water are recommended, especially if you intend on walking
distances. So will be tempted to use taps or drink from waterways. You will not
even get wet. (refer to No.3) Avoid urinating, as your only option is to wet
yourself; it is unavoidable. At all costs, avoid defecation for obvious
reasons. If you drop anything, it will automatically cling to your clothing
until you exit.
Things to be aware of No.3
You can move freely around the past. You can pass
through any solid object. But the pace at which you move through any object is
relative to how fast it is moving, not you. Passing through
objects comes with its own challenges. Whereas you can walk around normally and
at the same pace in your own time, when passing through static or paused objects,
you will meet resistance similar to wading neck deep through water. Crossing a
road of heavy traffic will be less obstructive as the pace of the cars will
dictate the passage of time. But if you find yourself having a car park where
you are standing, you will need to force your way out. It is inadvisable to go
to crowded places, as passing through people can be a distressing experience
because you will be able to see all their internal organs, muscles, and
skeleton as you move along, and if one decides to stop exactly where you are
standing, you may find yourself encased in human anatomy. Speaking from
experience, it is not recommended, and vomit-stained clothes do not lose that
overpowering stench until you return and you can wash. Avoid walking through solid objects whose
thickness or mass you are unaware of. Even though breathing is always possible,
the denseness and your speed can be disorientating and claustrophobic. A
shortcut sounds nice, but it can possibly lead to you not finding your way out
and being stuck until you starve. Deep waterways should also be avoided. Though
you are not affected by currents, you cannot swim and will need to walk along
the bottom. Remember, you can always breathe and will never get wet or dirty
under any circumstances, and you can’t clean yourself. (Refer to bodily functions
advice). This does take some getting used to.
Things to be aware of No.4
Cats. Whilst in the past, you would never feel as if
your presence was being felt or observed. Except for cats. I have noticed every
time I encounter a cat. They will always turn their heads and stare directly at
me. Never stopping or breaking stride. This has happened far too often to be
coincidental. They do not impede your visit, but they seem to sense your
presence.
Things to be aware of No.5
