Alright, I will try to explain this theory as best as I can
My theory is as follows:
If thoughts are electrical impulses in our brains, we can assume that they would travel at the speed of light.
Throughout our daily lives, our planet is intersected by innumerable solar particles like neutrinos traveling at light speed, which pass through solid matter, including our bodies, our brains, and even the neurons that develop the electrical impulses of our thoughts.
So, what if a neutrino has intersected a neuron that is generating an electrical impulse of thought, and that impulse comes into existence in the same area of spacetime as the neutrino. The effect would be like firing a bullet from the front of a speeding train, making the bullet travel doubly fast, or in the case of the impulse, making it take off at the speed of light, within something already moving at the speed of light. Einstein said that time travel would be possible at above light speed, so this impulse would travel through time.
However, when it arrives, our brains may not be in a state that is receptive to a time-traveling outside stimulus. The brain would likely be receptive to this only during times of high imagination and visualization, including REM sleep.
So back in time, the impulse arrives in a REM cycle, and the memory blooms, depending on what the impulse carried. And it is logged in our memory, so that when we go forward in time to reach the point the memory disappeared from, we are instead met with the memory of the impulse arriving during REM sleep.
In this way, it is essentially a form of neuro time travel, where we are sending thoughts, concepts, or images to ourselves before they occur. Were this power recreated and manipulated under controlled circumstances, it could allow for communication across vistas of time
