This article draws attention to a paradox in the following area: Since a man has opportunity to abandon the conventions and to use an imagination - especially should it be concerned about the prognoses of future - an inability of being original in one's effort could be commonly come across. Neither Jules Verne nor Faddej Bulgarin succeeded in overleaping the 19th century in their novels when trying to depict the time of the 29th period. This is to prove that in the realm of dreams we cannot see anything else, but a variation on ourselves and on a time we have been living in. The philology as well as the related (inter)disciplines might be in shape to give the explanations to this sort of egocentrism. Correspondingly much better anticipation of spatiotemporal aspect of human culture could possibly be arrived at.
