Bokkon's hypothesis that dreams involve the generation and perception of biophotons offers a possible explanation for the occasional experience of future events during these states. The Lorentz temporal dilatation during dream periods for biophotons with THz frequencies (neuronal soma diameters) is 3 to 4 days which is an average value between dream experiences and later events. For 40 discrete cases, the global geomagnetic activity at the time of the dream experience was moderately correlated with what the geomagnetic activity would be two to three days before the actual event. The convergence of geophysical and cerebral properties indicates that intrinsic properties of biophotons may allow the experience of some process that precedes the apparent event (or influences its occurrence) rather than the event itself.

INTRODUCTION
Bokkon (1) postulated that biophysical information contributes to or constitutes human consciousness and is mediated through biophotons. If this central involvement of such quantum phenomena in human experience is valid, then one of the apparent enigmas that occurs during the altered states of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) or dream sleep, hypnagogic and hypnopompic intrusions (2), and hypnosis (3) might be accommodated. This enigma is the subjective sensation of time distortion and the occasional putative experience of information about events that have not yet occurred (4,5).
The present article describes a possible process and supportive evidence by which these potentially important personal and public perceptions of luture events might occur. That subjective time can be dilated or constricted during altered states, such as hypnosis (6), is well established and has been known since the late 19lh century to be correlated with right hemispheric functions (7). It may be relevant that the activity of the right hemisphere responds more conspicuously to increases in geomagnetic activity (8) and shows characteristics of cerebral dominance during periods of dream sleep (9).
There is experimental evidence that the application of physiologically patterned magnetic fields can affect the experience of time. Counterclockwise rotation of weak, pulsed magnetic fields with rates of change of about 20 ras around the subjects' heads has produced reliable temporal dilatation (10) and spontaneous experiences of information beyond the usual temporal increment of the experience of "now" (11,12).
