When the mission was complete, the time traveler would slingshot back to their own time after the death of the host.  This could happen anytime after the specific event that the time traveler was sent back to correct or fix.  In my case this event was the assassination attempt on Hitler that was known as operation Valkyrie.  This is when some of Hitler's generals tried to kill him with a bomb planted at a meeting place known as the Wolf's Lair.  Of course as history tells us Hitler was saved by a heavy oak table that protected him from the explosion.  When the bomb was planted, the assassin put it under the table so that it would not be noticed.  Which it wasn't but the table protected Hitler and the plot failed.  Hitler's revenge took the lives of over two hundred men. 

 

​

Now, the problem with time travel, is that if you go into the past and change an event, especially an important historical event, you could change all of history.  You could change it so much that you could prevent your own birth and that of your parents, or grandparents.  You could create disasters that had been avoided by certain people who no longer exist or who were not where they were supposed to be at the right time.  This would be caused by of the tampering of time.  So to avoid these problems the traveler could only be allowed to effect an event that was going to happen which the changed effect would be minimal in the overall impact in world events.  The first safety rule:  No physical time travel. Time travel would have minimal effect if the agent was a person born and living in the era he wished to penetrate.  Then the agent would find a crossroads event where he could affect a change in a small event which would have a very small ripple if the opposite of what originally happened, happens. 

 

​

That's why the Valkyrie assassination attempt was chosen as the crossroad event.  The idea was that if Hitler was killed, his generals would take over and being they had no desire to continue the war, they would look for a way out as quickly as possible.  It was assumed that Himmler would move to take over since he saw himself as number two.  His only competition would have been Goering but Himmler had the Gestapo and even Goering feared the Gestapo.  It was also assumed he would fail and be forced by his generals to find a way to end the war as quickly as possible.  It was believed that Himmler would not risk the destruction of Germany since he left many documents professing that The world would look back and see Germans and the Nazi movement as something that decent men did to save the world and western civilization.  He always emphasized that they must be remembered as “decent men”.  So the plan was that Himmler would succeed Hitler when he died in the Valkyrie attempt.  

 

​

The name of the person I “occupied” was unimportant, but he was an important assistant to Himmler.  Whatever Himmler wanted he/I saw to it that he got it.  He was Himmler's number one henchman or rather his lackey.  It was through my host that I had to make sure that the heavy oak tables that saved Hitler's life was replaced by something more flimsy.  A simple plan.  To use an event destined to happen just nudged a bit for a different result.  There was only one problem.  Because of my position as Himmler's private assistant, I was privy to some information history never found out.   

 

​

My host was a glorified messenger boy of Himmler's inner circle.  There I learned of his secret ambitions, like his desire to take over the Third Reich in the event of Hitler's death.  He wanted this so bad that he was behind the conspiracy to kill Hitler.  No one knew that not even the guys that took the blame in history.  Operation Valkyrie was Himmler's creation. Using a complicated form of gossip and suggestion, he was able to manipulate people to do what he wanted without them knowing.  He prided himself as being a good student of the master manipulator Hitler.  His plan was more than just killing Hitler.  He had an elaborate plan of world conquest more deadly and bloody than Adolf's plans.  It involved the atomic bomb. 

 

​

It is well known, that the Germans were working on the atomic bomb long before we were.  When Einstein heard rumors that the Germans were working on the bomb he wrote Roosevelt to convince him to start working on it immediately.  Then for some reason that no one knows Hitler abruptly stopped development on the bomb.  That's when Himmler got his grand idea.  His grand plan. 

 

​

Himmler got the idea that Hitler's canceling the atomic bomb development was a big mistake.  He couldn't convince Hitler to change his mind.  So he thought that if he was in control, he could use the bomb to end the war quickly and make the entire world surrender to the Nazi dream.  Secretly he had the top three scientists working on the project to continue their development of the bomb.  Once Hitler was dead he would have V-2 rockets made with atomic warheads and bomb England and all other enemies of the Third Reich.  Then using ships or submarines he would bombard the United States, Canada and any other countries holding out against the Germans.  He saw himself completing world domination in a much shorter time.  The problem with his plan would be that instead of fifty million people dying in the war, the dead would be in the billions. 

 

​

This produced a major problem for me.  Although history proved that Himmler would be an inept general, his plot for domination was diabolical and could be more disastrous than Hitler's war.  What could I do?  There was no way to inform my superiors of this information and there had never been any historical evidence that I could use to plant information to inform those in the future.  But of course it was too late since I was already there.  I was left with only one option.  I had to make sure that Hitler survived the assassination attempt.  History must remain intact.  So I made sure that the heavy oak table was in place and set up certain clues to make sure that the three scientists who Himmler had secretly working on the atomic bomb were incriminated in the assassination attempt.  Of course, Himmler's involvement was never discovered but his plot to take over ended when they hung the atomic scientists. 

 

​

Unfortunately, my host was also hung along with both the guilty and not guilty.  Of course I expected to be hung which was good for me because that was my ticket home.  The next thing I knew I was flowing down some energy stream like a spark of electricity through a wire on my way back to the future.  When all of a sudden I did a 90 degree turn and was heading back toward the earth or ground.  I could see the ground and the top of the head of a small child walking between two trees.  Then I went into him.  This bizarre dream was over and I immediately woke up.  The end... wait not quite yet. 

 

​

I consider this dream to be one of the many "movie" dreams I've had in my life.  I think they are cool but I usually don't put too much stock into them unless there are heavy spiritual or metaphorical symbology in them. (Like Axiom Deflection or Seepage)  However there is a unique problem with this one.  You see the first “vision” I ever had was on my way home from school when I was in third grade.  When I had it I had no idea of what happened to me and I never told anyone about it.  Not even my parents.  Although I never talked about it I never forgot it and it was responsible for my ongoing sense that there was something going on beneath the surface.  That something else being God.   

 

​

When I had that “vision”,  I was walking home from school.  I was in the third grade.  All of a sudden I felt like a hand grabbed the top of my head and twisted it like a lid on a jar and the top of my head flipped open like a pop top.  I then felt a liquid me flowing from the sky above me and into an empty vessel me.  I felt the two me's simultaneously. One flowing into the other.   

 

​

I stood there for ten or fifteen seconds shaking, as I flowed into myself.  Then I went into the "vision" where I found myself lying on the floor.  I was holding my stomach and there was hot blood flowing over my hands.  Decades later I wrote about this experience and did a painting inspired by it called 'Ohm”.  This episode is posted in my website. www.stevonluceroOHM or you can find it on my blog. 

 

​

I've never had a dream that was obviously a fantasy/movie dream, which suddenly makes a left turn and connects into an actual real walking experience.  Especially a dream so detailed and original in idea that if I was a fiction writer could turn it into a fully fleshed out story or novel.  I was even speaking in German in the dream.  Or at least what I thought was German.  It was long and detailed and I even had a sense of enjoying it like a good movie.  Then as it came to an end the images became familiar.  Suddenly I recognized them as my childhood “vision” but seen from the position of the second me.  The one that flowed into the first me that was walking home from third grade. 

 

​

In conclusion, and the reason I decided to record this dream.  For years since I was kid I wondered if there was a second me who entered this body those many years ago.  What happened to the first me?  The first Steve.  Which Steve am I?  The first or the second?  Here is the creepiest and most disturbing part.  All my life I've had these reoccurring dreams that I am hiding a secret.  A secret that I killed someone or am responsible for their death.  I've even woke up in tears crying, “I will not be responsible for the death of someone so that I may live! No! No! No!” 

 

​

Why! Why do I have a deep subconscious guilt for something I know I've never done, and could never do?  These dreams hurt as if they are real.  I have thought many times that this guilt is for that first Steve.  If something truly metaphysical or mystical happened to me on that day, what happened to Steve?  Am I he?  Is he with me?  Or am I the invader?  Did I kill him?  Or am I just crazy like I always thought?
