Intangible Time Travel Discussion
What about dreams? Or OB Es? People have actually told tales of dreams where they've either observed events of the past or temporarily experience a person's life from the past? Some believe then to be past-life recalls, in fact.

Mister Six: I guess The Dark Zone falls under that heading, so why not? Provided the characters are seeing the past, of course.

Cambias: Shouldn't "Dark Zone" be "Dead Zone"?


Unknown Troper: Removing Transmetropolitan example - the comics, as sitting on my desk right here, describe the reservations as actual physical locations that recreate historic societies and areas, with the humans living there given Weirdness Censors that cause them not to see the visitors, and not as time travel locations.

Tulling: They DID see the visitors; it was stated that one of the injections given would give SJ sufficient knowledge of the local language to get by (why do that if he was unable to interact with them?) and that the locals were mindcontrolled to accept him as one of their own and subsequently forget him completely.
Possible source of more examples: [1]. Although personally I don't consider time viewing a type of time travel at all. —Document N
