I think you are assigning a "thought" with a lot more tangible reality than it deserves. Imagination is probably a better term for what I think you are trying to ask.
A good book can take us into the future or back into the past - and a real good book can make it seem pretty real.
But we are not truly traveling into another dimension - we are only experiencing the recreation of another person's experiences, imagination or recollections. Or, as you indicate in your question, our own memories.
A family photo album, for instance, will stimulate many thoughts and experiences - fond as well as not so fond memories - as we leaf through the pages. But when we close the cover, we find we have not "traveled" anywhere - we are where we are, and time just keeps marching on as usual.

I think that thoughts travel through time simply by being transmitted to others via speech or written word or actions. The most useful actions, ideas and customs are then copied by those learning (young people?) and carried forward through the next generations. Everything we do is a result of thinking from previous generations with occasional new bits added by the upcoming generations. I'm not certain that thoughts exist in the ether.
I studied philosophy some years ago and discussed the Theory of Simultaneous Reality - this suggests the possibility of there being various realities existing together simultaneously. This could account for such phenomena as ghosts and aliens. Simply other souls existing in a certain space in time, just as we do, occasionally crossing over into and out of another reality. For all we know, perhaps we, unknowingly, cross into another reality and frighten someone there!

Your heavy dependence on metaphor and analogy betrays a deep lack of clarity and precision in the way you think. You may not even be aware that you're doing this. That is, your words do not mean what you think that they mean. A telescope, for example, is an imagining instrument for the magnified viewing of distant objects. I would suggest attempting to reformulate your thoughts and questions using only words used in accordance with an accepted dictionary definition, or a technical definition from an appropriate text book. You will learn a great deal in the process and not be so muddled in the end.

This question is mis-categorised.
It really belongs in philosophy or even psychology.
Both time and space are largely irrelevant unless there is a consciousness to perceive them. It's almost a cosmic " if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?". If nothing perceives time and space, does it exist?
Sorry to be vague, but I think the question is a bit artsy fartsy anyway.
Cheers.

No of course its not.
Human memory is a very fallible thing. I would have thought anybody would know that, people can forget things or remember them differently as to how they occurred.
Thought is NOT considered as a dimension - I wonder what pseudo-scientific gibberish you've been reading. As for dimensions getting dissolved in ones beneath it... its meaningless nonsense.

fur, Love your questions by using fact it supplies me an excellent gamble to spout off slightly and specific learn something on the comparable time. What of the Akashic record, or “e book of stay. The Akashic information are atoms of Akasha what Aristotle spoke of as aether. between the 5 sorts of atoms visualized as latest interior the atomic concept of historical India, spoke of as Mahabhuta. In Buddhism that's taught one reason that folk knew Gautama had attained enlightenment as a Buddha replaced into by using fact he replaced into able to undergo in suggestions all of the main suitable factors of all of his previous lives via having access to them on the Akashic information. interior the hot Age discourse the term Akashic information is often used. that's promulgated interior the Samkhya philosophy that the Akashic information directly recorded are interior the atoms of Akasha. take a glance/see.

No. It is only a memory like in a computer. When you bring up data, you are not going back in time, are you!?
