Second paragraph of third chapter:

Thus, the physical brain, though it cannot create such sensory appearances, is a prime factor in their characterization, and, for that reason, an important factor in whatever process it may be that causes them to appear.

This was quite a big hit when originally published (I have the fairly definitive third edition of 1932). Sober-minded aeronautical engineer John William Dunne believed that he had established scientifically that dreams can sometimes be precognitive alerts to things that are going to happen to the dreamer, and he has many Einstein-like diagrams to demonstrate his theory of time travel. Nobody has been able to replicate his experiments independently, and it seems more like a demonstration of the human brain’s ability to find patterns from random stimuli. It’s not very exciting either, but you can get An Experiment with Time here.

This was my top book acquired in 2023. Next on that pile is Leviathan, by A.G. Riddle, one of the Clarke Award backlog.
