Dreaming Life

I’ve been fascinated with the thought of floating around in an isolation tank ever since I first saw the film Altered States ten years ago. Um – what is an isolation tank, you ask? “An isolation tank is a lightless, soundproof tank in which subjects float in salty water at skin temperature. They were first [...]

Official ALTERED STATES movie trailer: Plot Summary: A scientist takes drugs inside a sensory deprivation chamber, has crazy intense psychedelic trips, then genetically regresses into a primordial pre-human, ultimately regressing into the void of existence itself. The story revolves around a young scientist named Eddie Jessup, whose interest in his work overshadows everything else, including [...]

This is a fascinating 6 minute video into the research of Michael Persinger, inventor of the “God Helmet.” His research into out of body experiences, alien abductions, ghosts, and other “paranormal” phenomenon is predicated on the idea that these experience take place in the brain i.e. they’re an illusion and do not take place in [...]

Will virtual reality mean the death of lucid dreaming? Recently I saw the movie eXistenZ by David Cronenburg. It’s about a fully-encompassing virtual reality game, where of course, something screwy happens and you begin to question what’s real and what’s not. To play, you have to surgically install a “bio-port” at the base of the [...]

Earlier this month I wrote about the Expectation Fulfilment Theory of Dreaming by Joe Griffin. In my post I posed some hypothetical interview questions that I’d like to ask Joe Griffin. Much to my delight, he’s responded to them! And so I present to you a very short but interesting interview with Joe Griffin. Is [...]

I found something really wild tonight. I guess it’s old news since the patent is from 2003, but I see that Stephen LaBerge, the most famous lucid dream researcher and lucid dream author in the world, has a patent on “substances that enhance recall and lucidity during dreaming.” Patent number 20040266659, to be exact. Here’s [...]

There’s a lot of buzz surrounding a new book out there called Imagining The 10th Dimension. Singer / songwriter, thinker, philosopher and amateur scientist (although he insists he’s not a scientist!) has pieced together a means of actually explaining a way to understand the idea of not just 4 or 5 dimensions, but 10. (10 [...]

Can you give us a little background into how you wrote this book and came up with the ideas presented within its pages? Is it possible to give us a summary of your main ideas? The basic idea is something I started to believe as a child – that the other realities that could have [...]

There’s a meme of growing popularity, largely due to the success of the film What the Bleep Do We Know, that can be summed like this: We create reality through conscious observation. What we choose to think, decide, and observe has a literal input into the creation of the reality around us. You write on [...]

Let me quote the following paragraph from page 122: “Regardless of the position that mainstream science takes on the topic, a huge percentage of the general population have had personal experiences which show them that the idea of reading minds, “catching vibes”, supernatural connections to dead loved ones, or even just the positive effects of [...]
