In many of Einstein's dreams, people are divided between rationalism and emotionalism. In the world where there is mechanical time and body time, this division is easy to see. Those people who live by mechanical time are rational and intellectual. Those people who live by body time are emotional, listening to the natural rhythm of their bodies.
