Short answer: NO, you cannot. You can only re-experience it, similar to watching a movie.

Time does exist. Time is real. My computer is real. I really am typing right now. Once I post this I can't take it back.

People who think time isn't real and death is an illusion should drive across the median and into oncoming traffic, cause an 80-car pile-up, kill a dozen people, then turn around and face their community and say "but it's all an illusion."

If someone says death isn't real, it's an illusion, that our bodies are not really ourselves (or not real!) - I want to say to them, "Why don't you go kill your children and see if you miss them?"

All this "illusion" business in pop-metaphysics -- it's a trap, a trick, and the damage it does is not trivial.
