Dreaming Life

An update on getting rid of nearly everything I own. Spoiler alert: I did it.

Why exactly do we care about famous people with insomnia? Does it make us feel better to see someone we love dealing with the same problem? Do we revel in the fact that so many artists and gifted people seem mad in their own way? Sadly, so many people on this list burnt out and [...]

Photo by Gisela Giardino Due to the number of similar lists online that are total crap, I am making what I call the… No Bullshit List of Free Binaural Beats. If any of the links turn spammy or sketchy, let me know and I will remove it. Please add more places, tips, etc in the [...]

I’ve always had an immediate fascination paired with skepticism when it comes to Holosync and all brainwave entrainment products. I love the heck out of my Sirius Mind Machine but never really felt like all the claims involving binaural beats and brain states matched up  (i.e. this session will help you study, this session will [...]

This Is Your Brain on Drugs.. Any Questions? Let’s start with the classics. Here something you might remember if you’re 30 and up. And yes, dear egg chef, actually I do have a question. “Does marijuana really kill brain cells?” OH – questions like these bring me to back to my childhood. I’m in elementary [...]

My Story With Sleep Problems Sleep deprivation sucks. There’s no beating around the bush when it comes to this – it plain sucks. I used to have problems falling asleep just about every single night. For me the problem all came down to one thing: lower back pain. Here’s what would often happen: I would [...]

    Using a 20 or 30 minute session with the Sirius Mind Machine puts me in what I can only describe as a trance state. I’ll experience the rhythm of the beats in my ears and the fantastic lights merging and transforming throughout my entire field of vision and find myself overwhelmed with it, [...]

As I write this it’s the night of the 10th day where I’ve eaten only raw fruits, vegetables, greens, and nuts. It’s been a blast eating this way and I’m so happy I made the effort to try a 100% raw foods diet.   What Did I Eat? Here are some of the raw foods [...]

Back on the 4th of July I wrote some thoughts on minimalism and owning less. Basically I want to get rid of as much stuff as possible that doesn’t really provide any value in my life. A simple enough proposition, right? That was slightly over 2 months and damn if I still don’t seem to [...]

  People interested in their dreams have long noted the fascinating relationship between Vitamin B6 and dreams. My own interest in dreams is no exception: one of the earliest blog posts I ever wrote about documented my dream reports after taking B6. It’s something that still intrigues the hell out of me to this day. [...]

SO I’m thrilled to say I saw INCEPTION tonight for my 30th birthday at IMAX. Verdict? It was pretty awesome. In fact, I’d say this is the best film that’s come along that is specifically about dreams and the architecture of the dreaming mind since Vanilla Sky was released in 2001. Instead of a movie [...]

Last night I went to an introductory Buddhist class here in my town. I had a great time! And as can be expected, the experience got my brain cells moving around and you know I love it when that happens… I have been having a slow yet steady love affair with Buddhism for quite some [...]
