If time were real it would move in more than one direction.
It doesn't.
If you get some time go to Wiki and enter the words: Arrow of Time
Interesting link and ideas.
Kinda reminds me of this youtube video
In one part, the author describes one's existence as a "timeline" where our physical self exists not as a single state but as a whole, from birth to death. To paraphrase, all that you were and will be, you are; you're only able to perceive single frames in the movie of your life. It presents some causual paradoxes and philosophical issues, such as that accident which will end your life is unavoidable, with innumerable elements and choices coming together that make it happen and that free will and choice are illusions as well, among others. Interesting though.
