6th level divination
Casting time: 10 minutes
Range: Self
Components: S, V, M (A memory gem worth at least 500gp which the spell renders inert)
Duration: Concentration, up to 2 hours.
You and up to 5 willing creatures linked by touch are transported back through a communal dream to relive a depiction of any historical event through the eyes of those who were there. You are able to act freely as though you were truly there, but diverging from fact does not change history.
For the duration of the spell you and your targets are in a trance-like state in the present. You experience time at twice the rate: 2 hours in the dream count as 1 hour in the present.
If any member dies in the dream, or if your concentration is broken, the trauma effects the whole group and the spell ends. You return to your bodies in the present and are dazed for a number of rounds equal to the spell level. All class resources expended in this experience are not recovered.
Your familiarity with the events determine how they are portrayed to you. The DM rolls d100 and consults the table. If the events known to the users did not happen or are a false account they will experience the fictional event as they understood it happened.

Fictionalized: The events are not how they occurred. Fantastical, prone to exaggeration, and might be outright contradictory to real-world history.
Sparse: You experience only the high points. There may be gaps in your perception between major events.
Accurate: Events play out as they occurred with reasonable detail. However minute details will not present themselves. You will not be able to read books or pore too deeply.
Eidetic: You live it as though you were truly there. You can alter events, and go off the beaten path. It is seamless.
At higher levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 7th level or higher, the duration increases by 2 hours for each slot level above 6th.
