Speaker 1: Yeah, listen that noises. Hey guys, Hey guys, welcome to
Speaker 1: episode number fourteen of A Strange Thing podcast. I'm Mike
Speaker 1: and I'm Austin, and we together are your hosts for
Speaker 1: this most auspicious auspicious nice. I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1: I don't either. I haven't played scrabbling forever. I know auspicious,
Speaker 1: We'll say auspicious podcast, all right, most auspicious podcast. Occason.
Speaker 1: We're having a good time because finally, after what two months,
Speaker 1: we're actually able to get together record live in person,
Speaker 1: and just so that we're on this because we want
Speaker 1: to be honest to all of our listeners in the
Speaker 1: spirit of full candor. Yeah, full candor and full disclosure.
Speaker 1: This is our second time we've recorded the same episode
Speaker 1: attempt number two. I know I had little technical difficulties
Speaker 1: when I hit the record button last time and accidentally
Speaker 1: recorded over half of our episode. So we're starting brand new,
Speaker 1: fresh with a second try our do over of the
Speaker 1: episode fourteen.
Speaker 2: Fourteen, number two, the big twenty eight fourteen the second time.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, see that's two times fourteen. But this
Speaker 1: is our second attempt at number fourteen. Yep, yeah, and
Speaker 1: we are talking about what.
Speaker 2: This is our fourth episode about strange dreams. Yeah, we've
Speaker 2: covered different parts of this whole topic, which I feel
Speaker 2: like kind of got messed up by the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: Which we did a kind of an interlude. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: about a month ago. It's I mean, it's been hard
Speaker 1: to record during these this coronavirus.
Speaker 2: It has, and it took our attention away because all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, instead of thinking, Oh, I'm going to
Speaker 2: go record a podcast, it's oh, I gotta maybe try
Speaker 2: to get toilet paper. Which is weird because on Facebook Today,
Speaker 2: not that we want to talk about coronavirus now on
Speaker 2: Facebook Today, which is where I go for most of
Speaker 2: my factuals, articles and information because I know everything on
Speaker 2: Facebook is actually it is. But it's said that people
Speaker 2: are saying now that coronavirus doesn't live on surfaces very long.
Speaker 1: I saw that as well, but that's actually from an
Speaker 1: actual study. So they are saying that I saw it
Speaker 1: on local news broadcasts as well. So it's gone a
Speaker 1: little viral on Facebook and other social media, but it's
Speaker 1: actually true. They don't think that it actually lives very long,
Speaker 1: like on doorknobs and interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially like those what do they have like shopping
Speaker 2: bronze doorknobs or copper.
Speaker 1: Oh, they kind of have a natural naturally. Yeah.
Speaker 2: They make boxers with I think it's copper or gold. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and they put put copper lines in your boxers so
Speaker 2: you don't get stinky.
Speaker 3: Introducing copper were reusable mask. It's a reusable, machine washable
Speaker 3: mask with the properties of copper. Real copper threads are
Speaker 3: woven into the fabric using fiber matrix copper technology. The
Speaker 3: best news is Copperware reusable masks are available now.
Speaker 1: They do. I thought they put copper lines on like
Speaker 1: those gloves and stuff because it's supposed to help. It's
Speaker 1: anti inflammatory.
Speaker 2: That's called witchcraft.
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Anyway, We're we're gonna get right into
Speaker 1: our topic this week. But it's so good to be
Speaker 1: back and in person. We I at least I do us.
Speaker 1: And I have to say, I enjoy talking with you
Speaker 1: face to face so much much much easier. But I
Speaker 1: like it better too, you know, I just want to
Speaker 1: hang out my dad. It's like you're my son, and
Speaker 1: I like love you and crap like that. You never
Speaker 1: tell me you love me.
Speaker 2: Oh, I love you too. No, it was your birthday
Speaker 2: last time we recorded. That's right, I turned the big
Speaker 2: fifty five, Big five five. Well, I won't say the day,
Speaker 2: but yeah, it was in May. It was on your
Speaker 2: birthday in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just got to say it. I don't
Speaker 1: feel any different than I did the week before I
Speaker 1: turned fifty five.
Speaker 2: You were just telling me you feel old.
Speaker 1: You can't remember anything, you know. I do notice that
Speaker 1: I forget things easier.
Speaker 2: But if you noticed that you forgot, I don't know.
Speaker 1: If you're actually forgetting. See. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: ever cared that I couldn't remember before, But now that
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember, I actually care because I'm getting older.
Speaker 1: But do you still remember your dreams? I do? And
Speaker 1: that's our topic. Yeah, it's strange. That nice. You just
Speaker 1: steered it right back in there. Yep, way to go. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is our fourth and final episode on Strange Dreams.
Speaker 1: And this episode we're going to march through all eight
Speaker 1: of the dream categories that we defined in our first
Speaker 1: and second episodes, and we're going to talk about those
Speaker 1: and give examples in each category. And it's one of
Speaker 1: those things that you could probably drag out really long,
Speaker 1: but we're going to try to go through it in
Speaker 1: a rapid well, okay, maybe not rapid. We're going to
Speaker 1: try not to go down too many rabbit trails on
Speaker 1: our deployment of information to our very wise listeners. Yes,
Speaker 1: but before we do that, we do have a little business.
Speaker 1: We need to take care of him, because we talked
Speaker 1: about that in June of twenty twenty that we are
Speaker 1: going to be at squatchcom Boys. But they've canceled it.
Speaker 1: I wonder why. Yeah, something to do with Corona COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: bad lung stuff. But anyway, and I totally agree with that.
Speaker 1: I applauded them for making that decision, even though legally
Speaker 1: they probably had to because here in Idaho we're in
Speaker 1: stage two of reopening the state. Stage three allows for
Speaker 1: certain things, and that takes place this weekend, and Stage
Speaker 1: four takes place in two weeks, and that's when they
Speaker 1: would actually allow larger venues, concerts and stuff. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: like Squatch fun. So they are delaying it. They're not
Speaker 1: canceling it totally, they're just delaying it. And we are
Speaker 1: going to go to Squatch Con whenever it comes up.
Speaker 1: We will let you our listeners know when that is,
Speaker 1: and we'll try to go and have fun and come
Speaker 1: see us and we'll we'll have all kinds of swag
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. All kinds should be fun. It'll
Speaker 1: be fun. Yeah, it'll hopefully. I think we let people
Speaker 1: know that last time we recorded during the lockdown and
Speaker 1: we did that over zoom, which was successful, but at
Speaker 1: the same time it was a little bit not as fun.
Speaker 1: This is much better, it is, yeah, and so hey,
Speaker 1: tonight we tried something different. We have the IDL. I
Speaker 1: don't know if people know about this. We have an
Speaker 1: investigation destination libation we do we kick off, but it's
Speaker 1: been like two months that we've been on this episode,
Speaker 1: so we had to come up with something different because
Speaker 1: we need the libation mid libation. We can't just wait
Speaker 1: for a new investigation to do the libation. We need
Speaker 1: an investigation libation right now.
Speaker 2: Let's face it. On every episode we have some labratory.
Speaker 1: Ye which we want to call a new We have
Speaker 1: a new acronym for that, which is l l L
Speaker 1: triple L lip loosening libation, lip loosening libation, and tonight
Speaker 1: to help loosen our lips for our libations. Actually, the
Speaker 1: libations that help loosen our lips. We are sampling three
Speaker 1: beers tonight and a weird drink and a weird drink,
Speaker 1: which you yeah, weird drink. The weird drink is some
Speaker 1: kind of cola Bang Miami Cola energy drink. Bang Miami
Speaker 1: Cola energy drink with bourbon bourbon. I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of Yeah, we got a bourbon. It's like a
Speaker 1: it's not a bottomshelf bourbon. It's actually an award winning bourbon,
Speaker 1: perfect mix with a thing called bang. That's right, or
Speaker 1: just sipping on ice cubes. All right? Yeah, I like it,
Speaker 1: but I i'll you know, I'll do some research. I'm
Speaker 1: going to do post triple l post loose liptine libations.
Speaker 1: It's working, it is, but yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do some investigation. I'll put the link to the bourbon
Speaker 1: that we're actually tasting, and you know, I want to
Speaker 1: do the disclaimer in honor of my wife. Please don't
Speaker 1: abuse alcohol. Be responsible. Yes, don't go out and drink
Speaker 1: and drive. Don't do those things. We we say this
Speaker 1: occasionally being smart pasonably, and that's right. And if you
Speaker 1: are not a drinker, don't drink don't do it.
Speaker 2: Just because you listen to a podcast doesn't mean you
Speaker 2: have to have a drink.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, So anyway, we just want to throw
Speaker 1: that out there, just just be wise. Okay, I think
Speaker 1: we've covered it all. Although covered a lot, we didn't
Speaker 1: talk all about our libation. So we had the libation,
Speaker 1: were also sampling, And honestly, I am telling the truth
Speaker 1: when we say sampling, because we are not drinking like
Speaker 1: three beers and the bourbon mixture.
Speaker 2: He had like a whole hot looks set out when
Speaker 2: I got here, I set them all a bunch of
Speaker 2: a bunch of different glasses in front of different whiskys.
Speaker 2: It's kind of some rum and then different kinds of
Speaker 2: beers over and.
Speaker 1: It's called an alcohol buffet. It's called a flight, multiple flights,
Speaker 1: it's called flight. It's called a multinational. A flight was
Speaker 1: a layover and then another flight. So anyway, I had
Speaker 1: a few whiskeys out, and I had a few beers out,
Speaker 1: and I had rum out too, I think, and I
Speaker 1: set them out on the counter nice and four glasses
Speaker 1: to sample small we could like try different mixtures for
Speaker 1: a triple the perfect And it was research, so it
Speaker 1: was an investigation and it turned out well, and now
Speaker 1: we are here after sampling different things, and we have
Speaker 1: chosen this the cola bourbon mixture as are well. Is
Speaker 1: that is that our thing? I thought so? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: next time we might want a different kind of bourbon,
Speaker 1: and we might want a different kind of coke or pepsi. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're equal cola sampler. There you go. Okay, now we
Speaker 1: are really going to get on ours. So we had
Speaker 1: in our first podcast, we talked about eight different categories
Speaker 1: of dreams. The eight categories that we talked about are
Speaker 1: day dreams. We talked about number two lucid dreams. Number
Speaker 1: three nightmares, Yeah, reoccurring dreams, reoccurring dreams, reoccurring dreams. Nice.
Speaker 2: Well, we talked about healing dreams, which is number five.
Speaker 2: I had a dream last night. The next thing you
Speaker 2: said was prophetic dreams.
Speaker 1: Yeah, number six. Oh go, I'm oh my, there's one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: perfect example. Then we talked about signal dreams, signal dreams,
Speaker 1: signal things. There you go. And then we talked about
Speaker 1: number eight epic dreams, which are the big, the mother
Speaker 1: load of all dreams. I still don't really understand. Well
Speaker 1: you will when we get there to the examples. Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: So we're going to start out with day dreams, and
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about you know, events and people
Speaker 1: that maybe have had day dreams before and what they mean.
Speaker 1: I'm a heavy duty day dreamer. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people are. Day Dreams are so common in fact,
Speaker 1: that there's a syndrome that is a very negative aspect
Speaker 1: of daydreams. It's called maladaptive daydreaming disorder maladaptive as I
Speaker 1: like to say MALDD, m d D. No, mal can't
Speaker 1: say mal MALDD because MDD could be good. It could
Speaker 1: be mega, mega or big. But this is mal adaptive,
Speaker 1: which means it's bad. So mal adaptive daydreaming disorder means
Speaker 1: that you don't live in reality very much. You are
Speaker 1: too busy living in your daydreams. What was that movie
Speaker 1: with Ben Stiller where he sees all he does is
Speaker 1: live and dream inside the dream. I don't remember the movie.
Speaker 2: But he works for like Time National Geograph something like
Speaker 2: that runs into the cover of the book, and.
Speaker 1: That he's on the Himalayan mountains, and it lives vicariously
Speaker 1: through like other authors of photographers, right, because he's what
Speaker 1: but anyway, you could call him a maladaptive dreamer, right,
Speaker 1: and it can get bad for people. It can get
Speaker 1: so bad that they don't live in reality anymore, and
Speaker 1: it can totally disrupt their life. And and the worst
Speaker 1: things get in real life the more that they daydream.
Speaker 1: So it's self perpetuating. Yeah, so perpetuating good good word
Speaker 1: good word word work. Yeah, better than mel adaptive maladaptive
Speaker 1: interpretation of what'd you call would you say, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know perpetuating?
Speaker 2: Was it called MIDI The Secret Life of Walter Middie.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's the movie exactly. Google good good, use of
Speaker 1: good Google good, Google good, Google Google boy good good.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a bad example. But anyway, in real
Speaker 1: life and healthy individuals that have daydreams, there are categories
Speaker 1: of the top types of daydreaming scenarios that people experience.
Speaker 1: I thought that would be fun to kind of throw
Speaker 1: those out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, before this, because I kind of glanced at
Speaker 2: your notes, your notes, because I do research for once,
Speaker 2: I wonder if there's a difference between like daydreaming and fantasy.
Speaker 2: So we're making believes. So when I or like my
Speaker 2: son's playing with dinosaurs, is he daydreaming that these dinosaurs
Speaker 2: are real and that the the little stick that he's
Speaker 2: holding is actually a spear and he's killing the dinosaur.
Speaker 2: Is that daydreaming?
Speaker 1: So the way that I would like separate those the
Speaker 1: two daydreaming and fantasizing. Daydreaming almost always has you as
Speaker 1: the epicenter. It's like events that surround you. It's things
Speaker 1: that you do or experience. Fantasy could be you fantasizing
Speaker 1: about a book you read, or a girl that you
Speaker 1: saw or whatever. You know it, I mean, it's about
Speaker 1: that event, not the world that's surrounding you.
Speaker 2: See, so like playing, like making believe things that day
Speaker 2: it's unidentifiable shape he made with legos is in fact
Speaker 2: the rocket ship?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that daydreaming or is that I'd say it's
Speaker 1: both probably. I don't know if there's a clean dichotomy
Speaker 1: between the two, but either way, they're a lot of
Speaker 1: fun and they can be very beneficial. We talked a
Speaker 1: little bit about, you know, the disorder, but daydreams and
Speaker 1: be very inspirational. So in my mind, and just because
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of like this dude who was an author,
Speaker 1: he was a futurist, he was a guy that like
Speaker 1: he just told really good stories, and he was a
Speaker 1: guy who lived in daydreams. He daydreamed all the time
Speaker 1: about stories. And his name is Philip K. Dick. I
Speaker 1: know Philip K. Dick, And if for those of you
Speaker 1: who haven't heard the name before, he is probably one
Speaker 1: of the most prolific inspirations for a lot of the
Speaker 1: sci fi movies that you see where I've heard of
Speaker 1: too Nice. A lot of sci fi movies come from
Speaker 1: a lot of different sources, but from a single author.
Speaker 1: He has probably more movies that are based on his
Speaker 1: short stories or novels. And Philip K. Dick just for
Speaker 1: a few he wrote do Robots Dream of Electric Sheet?
Speaker 1: And out of that short story came Blade Runner.
Speaker 2: It's kind of coincidentally talks about dreams, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: and he deals with is it dreams or is it reality?
Speaker 1: What makes a person human versus what makes them not human?
Speaker 1: That's the whole thing in Blade Runner, right about these
Speaker 1: robots called replicants that are so human that the person
Speaker 1: that makes them, the corporation that makes them their tagline
Speaker 1: is more human than he, which is around his obvious
Speaker 1: and human commerce is all a goal here.
Speaker 4: The tyrol more human than human is Almato.
Speaker 1: Well they took it from Philip K. Dick, I think,
Speaker 1: well maybe so. Anyway, Philip K. Dick, I think he
Speaker 1: died in nineteen eighty two. Now, this guy was a nutball. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to glamorize his wife. He was addicted
Speaker 1: to amphetamines. He would go into these binge writing sessions
Speaker 1: where he'd pop you know, uppers and downers and drink
Speaker 1: and for like twenty hours straight without any sleep or breaks.
Speaker 1: He would just like get on the typewriter like a
Speaker 1: writer thing. I think, yeah, it was beforeward processing, right,
Speaker 1: so I mean, keep you sit down on that and
Speaker 1: he would pound out a story. And some of the
Speaker 1: stories are blade Runner total. Recall the Man in the
Speaker 1: High Castle. The Man in High Castle, which is something
Speaker 1: that's been really popular. I have no idea, and then
Speaker 1: it just came out with a new one where it's
Speaker 1: called Next and it has Nicholas Cage. I'm not a god.
Speaker 2: I can't see everyone's future, only my own, and only
Speaker 2: within two.
Speaker 1: Minutes except for when I saw her. But we'll come
Speaker 1: back to that. He just inspired so many cinemagraphic kind
Speaker 1: of stories because of the thoughts that he entertained were
Speaker 1: so interesting, and he would sit around as a kid
Speaker 1: and he would read these fantasy novels, these fantasy magazines.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what they were. Startling stories, thrilling,
Speaker 1: wonder stories, fantastic Universe. And then as he grew up,
Speaker 1: he actually became a writer for some of those little
Speaker 1: magazines cool. And then he dropped out of Berkeley and
Speaker 1: he just started like going into these manic twenty hour
Speaker 1: writing sessions and because of that, he wrote a lot
Speaker 1: of cool stuff. And he was a fan of daydreams.
Speaker 1: So category number two is lucid dreams, and basically lucid
Speaker 1: dreams are when you're aware that you're dreaming and you
Speaker 1: could interact in your dream. Those are cool, They are cool.
Speaker 1: I have like dreams that that.
Speaker 2: Kind of ride the border, yeah, where I'm like, I
Speaker 2: know I can get away with something because I'm dreaming,
Speaker 2: but at the same time, I don't really have control
Speaker 2: of the situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and your consciousness can still kick in. It's like
Speaker 1: your morality won't let you do something bad in the dream, because.
Speaker 2: Usually it's not something bad, but it's like I'll jump
Speaker 2: off a cliff knowing there's year consequences.
Speaker 1: But then I'm but.
Speaker 2: I'm still victim of the dream, you know, like I
Speaker 2: still will fall and hit the ground or.
Speaker 1: Well, I've had dreams that like this really hot woman
Speaker 1: comes up to me and says, hey, baby, how about it? Whoa?
Speaker 1: And I in my mind I'm going, oh, it would
Speaker 1: be okay because it's just a dream. I'm not really
Speaker 1: doing this. But then my consciousness says, hey, because you're
Speaker 1: aware that it's a dream and you're deciding to do
Speaker 1: it anyway, it's almost like you're doing it for real.
Speaker 2: And you got a dream devil and a consciousness angel
Speaker 2: on your shoulders.
Speaker 1: Don't you just go in there with her? And I
Speaker 1: was like, lo, li't do that. I wonder if you
Speaker 1: can catch a virtual disease VSTD. I never YEVSD, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, and honestly I can say that I resist
Speaker 1: that temptation of my dreams. Good, good for you, dream.
Speaker 1: I've got a dream alo wow and wings. Look I'm
Speaker 1: going dream wings. I can't see that we.
Speaker 2: Should have got a red bull instead of a bang tang.
Speaker 1: But anyway, so yeah, that's the basic scenario. You are
Speaker 1: aware that you're in a dream, and you are actually
Speaker 1: able to stay in the dream for some time and
Speaker 1: maybe even controlled the dream. But you're an active participant.
Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of people that train their
Speaker 1: bodies in their minds to dwell inside these dreams. One
Speaker 1: of those was the famous artist Salvador Dolly. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you've seen any of his stuff before,
Speaker 1: but he has some really weird stuff. It looks like
Speaker 1: stuff that's transported straight out of his dream. And basically
Speaker 1: what he would do he would get himself really tired,
Speaker 1: sit in a chair that was rather uncomfortable, and then
Speaker 1: try to hang in right in there between the twilight
Speaker 1: of sleep and non sleep. Oh, when your mom and
Speaker 1: I went to Florida, we went to the Salvador Dolly museum.
Speaker 1: Guy was weird. I mean him and Philip K. Dick,
Speaker 1: so in kind of what kind of in a way,
Speaker 1: if you turn into Flipka Dick or salvadord Elite got
Speaker 1: the same, the same salvad Or Dalli. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I want to experience a lot of lucid dreaming
Speaker 1: because he turned into it kind of a weird person. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he seems to be a ding do I looked. I
Speaker 1: looked him up. Oh he did like the melting clocks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: melting clocks. He has all kinds of weird. He did
Speaker 1: a crazy mustache. He did a famous one of of
Speaker 1: the multi dimensional Messiah, which has a picture of Jesus
Speaker 1: kind of on a multidimensional kind of shape that looks
Speaker 1: like a four dimensional cross. That's very famous, and that's
Speaker 1: what he was doing. He was basically saying that this
Speaker 1: human he wasn't totally confined within three dimensions. He was
Speaker 1: into the fourth dimension. Kind of a cool take on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he does those pictures where it's like a face,
Speaker 2: but the face is made out of like different objects.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So Salvador Dali was a good example of a
Speaker 1: person who had a lot of lucid dreams that he
Speaker 1: had a method for it. Yeah, kind of makes him
Speaker 1: like the Pioneer and lucid dreaming. Well, a lot of
Speaker 1: people did that even before that. We'll get into that.
Speaker 1: That's one thing we should say, lucid dreaming. Well, all
Speaker 1: of these categories, nightmares, lucid dreaming, everything, they all kind
Speaker 1: of can blend together. I don't They're not clean. It's
Speaker 1: not like you can separate and say oh, this is
Speaker 1: not something that you experience in the other categories. And
Speaker 1: some lucid dreams are nightmares, right.
Speaker 2: And sometimes I'll quote unquote daydream until I fall asleep,
Speaker 2: which might kind of change my dreams too, which would
Speaker 2: kind of make it a lucid dream.
Speaker 1: And well, sometimes dreams give you some of the things
Speaker 1: that you get in other dream types, which would be
Speaker 1: like solving problems and things like that. Anyway, let's keep going. Okay, nightmares,
Speaker 1: all right, that's our next category. I think most people
Speaker 1: got a grip on this. Yeah, nightmares, you know that.
Speaker 1: And we talked a little bit about that in our
Speaker 1: second episode, and in our last episode, we actually did
Speaker 1: a dramatic reading of one of Mary Shelley's quotes that
Speaker 1: your sister did who talked into very good britties act. Okay,
Speaker 1: maybe not good, but she did it. I thought she
Speaker 1: did good. Yeah she did. She did good job. I am.
Speaker 1: So she teaches it. Yeah, so just for just for
Speaker 1: refreshing people's memories. So Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, she's the
Speaker 1: first author that really started the genre of science fiction.
Speaker 1: Frankenstein kind of kicked it off. And what's really interesting
Speaker 1: about her is that She was very young when she
Speaker 1: wrote this and had the idea for it, and it
Speaker 1: took place way way back, and in fact, you know,
Speaker 1: I can't remember the exact year, but it was like
Speaker 1: in the early eighteen hundreds, and she had gone with
Speaker 1: a boyfriend. Ooh naughty for those that time very to.
Speaker 1: Her name was Mary Godwin about unmarried, unmarried, But she
Speaker 1: went to Switzerland, Geneva, Switzerland with her boyfriend who eventually
Speaker 1: became her hush speetish. Yeah, and anyway, I went with
Speaker 1: him and his name was Percy.
Speaker 2: Pershy hushweet hut pussy sweetheart, and Percy Shelley was a poet.
Speaker 1: And they went and stayed with one of Percy's friends
Speaker 1: who was Lord Byron, and Lord Byron had an estate
Speaker 1: in Switzerland, Geneva, and they went there, and they went
Speaker 1: there during the summer. But very strange side note is
Speaker 1: this was the year that they called it a year
Speaker 1: without a summer because an Indonesian volcano had erupted and
Speaker 1: it put so much volcanic ash in the air that
Speaker 1: it basically not just in Geneva but all over the world.
Speaker 1: Basically a year without a se they were saying in
Speaker 1: May in New York that temperatures were freezing insane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So anyway, it affected the whole world. And it was
Speaker 1: during this time that Mary Shelley and Lord Byron and
Speaker 1: her future husband Percy, and her name was Mary Godwin,
Speaker 1: and then Mary's sister they went to stay with Lord Byron,
Speaker 1: and I guess another interesting note is that Mary's sister.
Speaker 1: That kind of a blinking thing going on with Lord Byron.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's that's sister's name. Yeah. They weren't very
Speaker 1: wholesome back then. Sounds like modern day, what's up with
Speaker 1: that human? Yeah, So anyway, they went to Geneva and
Speaker 1: they you might call it the Geneva Convention, the pre
Speaker 1: Geneva Convention, their first Geneva convention. And they were bored
Speaker 1: and it was cold outside and it was kind of
Speaker 1: what oh babies well Byron Sister Shelley Byron boinking sister Shelley.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a song. It does kind of like
Speaker 1: a nursery rhyme, but weird. Anyway, so they were bored
Speaker 1: and they couldn't go out much. And it was also
Speaker 1: during this weird period of time where there was this
Speaker 1: new fatuation with electricity and what it could do in
Speaker 1: the human body and all this stuff, and they called
Speaker 1: it Galvinism galvinis, and they had gone to a kind
Speaker 1: of a presentation of electricity and how they can hook
Speaker 1: an electric current up to a dead frog and touch
Speaker 1: the muscles and the muscles would spasm. Interesting. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, that's weird. Yeah. And so five
Speaker 1: people sitting around board one evening, probably drinking too much
Speaker 1: and thinking about sex or whatever, and they said, Hey,
Speaker 1: I know what let's do. I've got this idea. Let's
Speaker 1: all sit tonight, let's all write a story, a ghost story,
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow we'll read the stories and whoever writes
Speaker 1: the best story will win. That sounds like fun. Actually, yeah.
Speaker 1: So Mary Shelley, who was very creative, went to bad
Speaker 1: and that night she had a dream. And in the
Speaker 1: dream she saw this monster that was made up of
Speaker 1: all these different body from different people. And anyway, here's
Speaker 1: the dramatic reading of one of her quas.
Speaker 5: I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside
Speaker 5: the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous
Speaker 5: phantasm of a man stretched out and then on the
Speaker 5: working of some powerful engine show signs of life and
Speaker 5: stir with an uneasy, half vital motion. Frightful must it be?
Speaker 5: For supremely frightful would be the effect of any human
Speaker 5: endeavor to mark the stupendous mechanism of the creature of
Speaker 5: the world.
Speaker 1: I think she'd done good on that one. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds pretty good. Accent was much better than mine.
Speaker 1: I suck at this stuff, and I'm glad you're good
Speaker 1: at it because I sucked. Thank you Amber for that.
Speaker 1: And anyway, so Mary Shelley wrote wrote that story. I
Speaker 1: don't know if they she won that contest that night,
Speaker 1: but anyway, she wrote the manuscript later and it became Frankenstein,
Speaker 1: and well everybody knows everybody. Yeah, it's multiple movies, famous,
Speaker 1: the origin of tons of stories and inspiration to tons
Speaker 1: of writers, and it actually birthed Calved whatever you want
Speaker 1: to say, the genre of science fiction. Nice. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: good job, Mary Shelley. That's before like Dracula all the
Speaker 1: other monsters. Yeah.
Speaker 2: If I remember, I haven't read Frankenstein since high school
Speaker 2: and I had to. I don't even think I read it.
Speaker 2: I think it just bargagnotes it. But it's about Frankenstein
Speaker 2: just wants somebody to love. Yeah, his whole thing is
Speaker 2: like just like Freddie Mercury love.
Speaker 6: And but but when he goes around. Yeah, so the
Speaker 6: poor guy, poor created guy, wants to love, goes out
Speaker 6: seeking for love, and then as he can't find it
Speaker 6: and he's rejected, he becomes more angry.
Speaker 1: And then becomes a monster and the villagers pitchfork him.
Speaker 1: So the moral of the story for us is, as
Speaker 1: long as we have love, we won't become monsters. But
Speaker 1: if we don't have love, will become sound like a beetle.
Speaker 7: Love.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, but you're saying a lot we really recovered.
Speaker 1: That's because we're very creative.
Speaker 2: But what I was gonna say is, Frankie Stein wants
Speaker 2: to find love, right, and then Dracula basically I remember right,
Speaker 2: kind of just looking for a companion. And I feel
Speaker 2: like maybe that her influence was that impacting on that genre,
Speaker 2: that sci fi monster. Well, you know, it's really interesting
Speaker 2: because a lot of them just want.
Speaker 1: Well, I know that Mary Shelley had like two or
Speaker 1: three miscarriages and then her sister died. I think she
Speaker 1: committed suicide, the one that boinked to Lloyd Byron, and
Speaker 1: so she had all of this kind of death and
Speaker 1: stuff around her, and you know, during this time they
Speaker 1: were thinking about what galvinism could do. That A lot
Speaker 1: of people think that she's trying to recreate the lives
Speaker 1: of the babies and the loves of her life.
Speaker 2: To give new hope to that, or at least mortality
Speaker 2: was on her mind. Yeah, And you know everybody when
Speaker 2: they lose a loved one, I was like, well, what
Speaker 2: can I do to bring him back?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So yeah, But anyway, Mary Shelley was a very
Speaker 1: prolific writer. I'm glad she wrote Frankenstein, a very interesting story.
Speaker 1: There's tons of this out there on the web. In there,
Speaker 1: a little bit of it on our website.
Speaker 2: Or mark that one down on another book to listen
Speaker 2: to it work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. So anyway, that brings us to
Speaker 1: our number four dream category, which is recurring dreams.
Speaker 8: I have a recurring nightmare that I've been wrongly accused
Speaker 8: of a crime, and twelve of these idiots are on
Speaker 8: the jury. Stanley is fast asleep, Kevin eats the evidence.
Speaker 8: Phyllis's name is Allison, but it really is Phyllis. Jim
Speaker 8: is foreman of the jury and pronounces me guilty. The
Speaker 8: cop takes me away, tells me that I've been a
Speaker 8: bad boy, and we have sex in the hall.
Speaker 1: She leaves the handcuffs on.
Speaker 8: They take me away to prison. The guards are all women.
Speaker 1: Now this is kind of weird because you know, you
Speaker 1: go out and you can't really find a person that
Speaker 1: talks about their ongoing recurring dream. So what I did
Speaker 1: is I found the most common recurring dreams, and I
Speaker 1: thought that would be fun to share, because I think
Speaker 1: everybody's had, in one way or another, a recurring dream
Speaker 1: just glancing. I think I've had a couple of them.
Speaker 1: So let's just march through these. We'll go through them
Speaker 1: kind of quick. One of them is thinking of marching.
Speaker 1: We got a marcher coming through. Is it a mom marcher?
Speaker 2: It's a mom marcher. She's double hand waving, double hand waving. Nope,
Speaker 2: Now she's dancing.
Speaker 1: Now she's dancing. She's famous. She's saying, you don't have
Speaker 1: to turn on the road. She's not a hooker up.
Speaker 1: Goodness saying that in advance. All right, So the first
Speaker 1: most common recurring dream is falling. Falling is the most
Speaker 1: common recurring dream. Everybody I know of has had a
Speaker 1: recurring dream. I've had falling dreams or not a recurring
Speaker 1: dream of falling, but has had a dream of falling.
Speaker 2: And I've had my thoughts on this where people say
Speaker 2: falling in love yep, and they say falling asleep. And
Speaker 2: I don't remember what chemical your brain releases, but I
Speaker 2: think there's a chemical mean some some mean something mean yeah,
Speaker 2: and it actually gives you the sensation of falling in it.
Speaker 2: And that's apparently where that term comes from. I heard
Speaker 2: that somewhere oh so fact checked, and.
Speaker 1: So that even though it's not a falling thing, it's
Speaker 1: the same chemical reaction as if you were falling.
Speaker 2: That's really like something about when you sleep, you get
Speaker 2: that falling feeling. Like you ever had those dreams where
Speaker 2: you're like, maybe you fall asleep on.
Speaker 1: A couch and you drink your head and you're.
Speaker 2: Like, and you thought you were falling, but you're fine.
Speaker 2: So apparently that's where it comes from. So I'm wondering
Speaker 2: if that is what causes these reoccurring.
Speaker 1: If we were really good researchers, we would have that
Speaker 1: information available, but I didn't look it up. Hey, why
Speaker 1: do they call it falling asleep?
Speaker 9: Sorry?
Speaker 1: I don't know why that is.
Speaker 9: Do you want to know where the term falling asleep
Speaker 9: came from.
Speaker 1: That's yeah.
Speaker 9: On the website dictionary dot com, they say fall asleep,
Speaker 9: go to sleep. Also's paying attention, for example, as soon
Speaker 9: as the lights were dimmed, he fell asleep, or his
Speaker 9: lectures are so dull that I fall asleep. The literal usage,
Speaker 9: which uses the verb fall in the sense of succumb,
Speaker 9: dates from about thirteen hundred. The figurative is several centuries newer.
Speaker 1: Well, that was about pointless Google. Yeah, but anyway, that
Speaker 1: was a really good, useless piece of Google information. Thank
Speaker 1: you Google. All right, Okay. Number two being chased, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've had those. I've had those yet, and sometimes being
Speaker 1: chased while you can't run. I hate that, But anyway,
Speaker 1: that's probably a different one. Le's good. Number three being
Speaker 1: back in school, So like after you've graduated and after
Speaker 1: you're in later in your life, you dream you're back
Speaker 1: into your school days. And I've had those, I mean
Speaker 1: not a lot. I don't think i've had any. But
Speaker 1: it'd be like im for me again in high school
Speaker 1: or something, right, like what am I doing here? I'm
Speaker 1: forty years old? Yeah? Kind of like what was that?
Speaker 1: Uncle Rico? He always wanted back throw pigskin over them mountain.
Speaker 1: See the mountain right there, I can throw right over
Speaker 1: the top. How much you want to make a bet?
Speaker 1: I can throw football over the mountains anyway. Next one,
Speaker 1: Number four being unprepared for an important event, right, so,
Speaker 1: I don't know quite what that could be, like a test, yeah,
Speaker 1: or test or you still know the answer.
Speaker 2: I had one like that where just recently where tell
Speaker 2: me in my dream, I was kind of like going
Speaker 2: through this career change and I was doing like a
Speaker 2: multiple interview process where there's like five people interviewing you
Speaker 2: at once, and then that interview it just went terrible.
Speaker 1: Oh, because it was just you know, the answers.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to have questions and you mess up your
Speaker 2: words and you yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess I've had those kind of things where I
Speaker 1: expected to have a skill that I didn't have at work.
Speaker 1: Yeah those two. Or I have a skill that I
Speaker 1: know I have, but when I turned to use it, it
Speaker 1: doesn't work out like it's supposed to, and then everybody
Speaker 1: thinks I don't have the skill. I've had those, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can relate to that. Number five flying super dreams.
Speaker 1: I love those. I love them. They are the best
Speaker 1: unless you crash. But anyway, the flying farm wires is
Speaker 1: totally awesome. Number six, sex with someone you shouldn't Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we need to talk a lot
Speaker 1: about that. Well, because my wife listens to my podcast. Okay.
Speaker 1: Number seven, encountering a person who has died in real life. Okay,
Speaker 1: you've had that.
Speaker 2: This is not a reoccurring dream, and I actually have
Speaker 2: had a reoccurring dream about that.
Speaker 1: Now that you say that, well, let's tell one. I
Speaker 1: got two. Can I tell both? Yeah, but you got
Speaker 1: to do it quickly once. We only have like superlimited
Speaker 1: hours to do this podcasting, right.
Speaker 2: So the reoccurring aspect of this and the other part
Speaker 2: just kind of popped in my head when you said
Speaker 2: that is reoccurring aspect. When I was younger, I think
Speaker 2: I've talked about this before. I had a dream where
Speaker 2: I was out in the backyard of my grandparents' house.
Speaker 2: We're picking up some sticks, yeah, and like putting him
Speaker 2: in a wheelbarrow like day cut down a tree or something.
Speaker 2: And I was with my grandpa who'd recently passed away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a recurring one.
Speaker 2: That stick jumps to life that I'm trying to pick
Speaker 2: up and it runs off kind of into a really
Speaker 2: foggy day.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a wannabe Pinocchio.
Speaker 2: Sure, okay, but in the fog you got only feet
Speaker 2: of visibility. Basically you can I can see like a
Speaker 2: perfectly round circle of what's around me. But then everything
Speaker 2: else is just white misted, and the stick runs off,
Speaker 2: fades into the fog, and then my grandpa.
Speaker 1: Goes after it. Yeah, in three D modeling, you call
Speaker 1: that the fog distance. Really yeah? Interesting?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, uh, the fog distance. And then and then
Speaker 2: I wake up. And I had this several times in
Speaker 2: a row. I ended up realizing that I had a
Speaker 2: cassette tape in to put myself that wap trigger it.
Speaker 1: I changed it. I never had it again. That was weird.
Speaker 2: Second story, and that one pretty quick I did.
Speaker 1: I flew through it. You're awesome.
Speaker 2: I know this story comes from a coworker at work,
Speaker 2: and I asked him if he would repeat it to
Speaker 2: me today, but.
Speaker 1: I totally forgot I had asked him.
Speaker 2: But the way I understood it, and I'll probably get
Speaker 2: some of these facts wrong, but the principles are the same.
Speaker 1: He You're a professional podcaster. This is our number fourteenth episode,
Speaker 1: so it's okay, okay, okay, cool cool, cool, cool cool cool.
Speaker 2: He had a grandpa or probably like a great uncle
Speaker 2: or an uncle, somebody semi close to him but not
Speaker 2: extremely close, not like a brother or a dad, but
Speaker 2: like a like an uncle.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Good. Detail passed away.
Speaker 2: And the day before he passed away, he passed away
Speaker 2: from a sudden heart attack.
Speaker 1: No lead up on the day before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, well, when he passed away, he had a
Speaker 2: heart attack. There's no way to know he's going to
Speaker 2: have a heart attack. There's not like, oh you know,
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling very good, or he didn't have like cancer.
Speaker 2: It was just like one day, it's over. The night
Speaker 2: before he passes away, he has a dream that he's
Speaker 2: like walking along a trail or something and he there's
Speaker 2: nobody on the trail. This girl is walking towards him,
Speaker 2: and he says he can remember the girl's face. He
Speaker 2: recognized her, but he's not sure who she is. And
Speaker 2: then he kind of gets in a conversation and he's like, hey,
Speaker 2: do I know you? Or they kind of have this
Speaker 2: interaction where he asks it.
Speaker 1: He feels like he should know her and he's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically, and they go back and forth. She had brown,
Speaker 2: thick hair, and she tells him his name, which even
Speaker 2: the guy who told me the story, he couldn't remember
Speaker 2: the exact name. But she tells him in his dream
Speaker 2: her name and says that she's gonna go be with Jesus,
Speaker 2: and and he's with Jesus. They can talk again, and
Speaker 2: then they go separate ways. He wakes up the next morning,
Speaker 2: tells his wife his wife has thick.
Speaker 1: Brown, curly hair.
Speaker 2: The girl in the dream room looks similar to his
Speaker 2: wife or something along those lines, and he basically remembers
Speaker 2: that the name that that girl gave him was the
Speaker 2: daughter he was supposed to have, but it was a miscarriage.
Speaker 1: Oh so, so they had had a miscarried baby there
Speaker 1: a long time ago. It was his name.
Speaker 2: And then the next day he's heart attacked.
Speaker 1: So he meets her in the dream on this trail
Speaker 1: and she says, why, I'm what Jesus. When you get here,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about hang out and then the next day
Speaker 1: and then yeah, I think that.
Speaker 2: Very soon after he has heart attack, he tells his
Speaker 2: wife about it, and this is a real guy that
Speaker 2: died and his wife.
Speaker 1: Told the story, probably just obliterated.
Speaker 2: Bawling, but yeah, it was a crazy dream. Gave me
Speaker 2: goosebumps when he said that. And then when you said
Speaker 2: it counting a person who has died in real life,
Speaker 2: it was kind of like, oh, yeah, that's a good
Speaker 2: time to bring well.
Speaker 1: And technically I guess it wasn't recurring, although it did
Speaker 1: recur in it was it was as it happened in
Speaker 1: real life. Prophetic. Yeah, it's weird, which is another category
Speaker 1: for later. Yeah, gosh, good stories, Austin like those, you know,
Speaker 1: they kind of make me feel sad in a weird
Speaker 1: kind of way. I'm moving on. So number eight teeth
Speaker 1: falling out, And these are recurring dreams, right, cream dream style,
Speaker 1: So teeth falling out. I've had that where I'm grinding
Speaker 1: a tooth so I was thinking and then I wake
Speaker 1: up and like, oh man, my jaw hurts or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, your teeth kind of go numb, like your gums
Speaker 2: when you really bite hard in your sleep, they kind
Speaker 2: of go numb.
Speaker 1: I think that's a dream when you feel like you
Speaker 1: actually have chewed your tooth out or they crumbled or something.
Speaker 1: I've had that. That's an awful dream. Well, right now,
Speaker 1: I've got team. He's talking like from North Dakota or
Speaker 1: his mouth very because job doesn't move his tars. He
Speaker 1: likes it, don't you know? Don't you know? Once already okay, onward,
Speaker 1: teeth falling out. Number eight and number nine is being lost.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've had a lost dream. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. I always look for the
Speaker 1: north star and then I was found.
Speaker 10: Wow, the right there it is wendy second start of
Speaker 10: the right straight.
Speaker 2: On till morning.
Speaker 1: Moving in slow motion or going nowhere. I have had
Speaker 1: that where usually it's kind of combined with the chase
Speaker 1: stream where it's like I'm running, I'm trying to get away,
Speaker 1: and then you can't, like I'm made of cement or
Speaker 1: lead shoes or something. I can't tread bill, Yeah, treadmill.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a drink to this in Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you better get that taken care of.
Speaker 1: So moving to slow motion going nowhere. Number ten, Number
Speaker 1: eleven being late, Oh yeah, yeah, I have those. I
Speaker 1: mean self explain it to very common. Number twelve being
Speaker 1: paralyzed or unable to speak. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: have a recurring dream of that. But I've had a
Speaker 1: couple dreams where I've been immobilized. My good buddy, you know, Matt,
Speaker 1: who told me stories that he used to kind of yeah,
Speaker 1: he would have these episodes where and he didn't really
Speaker 1: know if they were dreams or not, where he would
Speaker 1: be frozen, he couldn't move, and they were like aliens
Speaker 1: or demons or something looking through windows at him as
Speaker 1: he's stuck to the floor. Sleep paralysis, which probably influenced
Speaker 1: my dream of being stuck to the floor in the
Speaker 1: presence of oh something you mentioned that earlier. That was
Speaker 1: in my dream, but yeah, that's anyway, what were you
Speaker 1: gonna say, Oh.
Speaker 2: Those kind of coming you know, like moving in slow
Speaker 2: motion or going nowhere, being paralyzed or unable to speak.
Speaker 2: I have those kind of feelings, like usually when there's
Speaker 2: a threat in your dream, which is semi nightmarish, you
Speaker 2: can't get up and get away.
Speaker 1: You know. One interesting thing on these and you told
Speaker 1: a couple of stories about that with you, where like
Speaker 1: you think somebody's in the house or something, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you kind of freeze. People who claim to have been
Speaker 1: abducted or experience aliens and time loss have this happen.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they report this. So it's interesting that it's
Speaker 1: a dream, but it's also something that crosses over into
Speaker 1: that whole alien abduction realm, which we haven't done a podcast.
Speaker 2: I feel like this kind of similar being paralyzed or
Speaker 2: unable to speak, and you'd mentioned Matt having these dreams
Speaker 2: where he's not sure if he's awake or a sleep
Speaker 2: could be alight, sleep paralysis, which is when a lot
Speaker 2: of people see hat Man, which was a topic we
Speaker 2: covered earlier.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, by the way, I got to do a
Speaker 1: shout out to Matt. Hey, Matt, good to see you
Speaker 1: last week. It was awesome to go down there and
Speaker 1: hang out and talk about all the cool stuff like
Speaker 1: aliens and demons and Rack. Yeah he has this man
Speaker 1: has cool stuff. He's a super Trooper Scooper. Yes he is.
Speaker 1: He's got cool stuff. Every time I come home, I
Speaker 1: want to buy new stuff, Like, hey, what did I
Speaker 1: just buy Austin. We bought a box fan, We bought
Speaker 1: a box van. So I think we told everybody last
Speaker 1: time that we got a motorcycle. Motor scooter. Really that's
Speaker 1: a yeah, that's actually a really nice bike, and we
Speaker 1: are converting it into a dual sport, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: stick those suckers in the back of the box van
Speaker 1: and go out and do our investigations adventures. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. We're gonna post pictures up on
Speaker 1: the build of those, and we're also going to talk
Speaker 1: about our upcoming adventures. I think we're gonna go out
Speaker 1: and find some petroglyphs.
Speaker 2: Oh you know what. Else, We'll probably find some rabbit trails,
Speaker 2: which is what we're on right now.
Speaker 1: Okay, we're gonna take it back. Okay, we are a
Speaker 1: number thirteen cheating partner green dreams. I've had those a lot,
Speaker 1: have you. I don't think I've ever had one that's good.
Speaker 1: I don't like them. I wouldn't like them. If I
Speaker 1: had them, I wouldn't be comforted they're good. Okay, So
Speaker 1: on to number fourteen. Spiders, snakes, or scary creatures. I
Speaker 1: definitely had those. I mentioned that before. Yeah, the snake
Speaker 1: that kept eating my stomach. Ye, I think I've had
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've had dreams of weird creatures that
Speaker 1: were chasing me. I've had a dream about zombies recently
Speaker 1: that change, you know, that were chasing me. I love
Speaker 1: a good zombie dream. This was bad. So these were
Speaker 1: like fun zombies, fun created by a cokeker of mine. Paul,
Speaker 1: if you're out there, I don't know why I had
Speaker 1: a dream about you that you created these things that
Speaker 1: were chasing me. They were like humanoids and they were prolific.
Speaker 1: So they started out with a few, and they kept
Speaker 1: getting more and more in number, and I kept running
Speaker 1: and it was fun at first, and then finally I
Speaker 1: finally did this dairy maneuver where I jumped off a
Speaker 1: balcony into a swimming pool and got out and was
Speaker 1: laughing about how I escaped all these creatures, and you said, oh, sure,
Speaker 1: it's fun for now. But what you don't realize is
Speaker 1: they just keep coming. It'll never stop. Oh that's creepy.
Speaker 1: And that was when I woke up and I had
Speaker 1: to get up and go check my doors. I checked
Speaker 1: all my locks in the house. It was like three
Speaker 1: in them. Freaked me out.
Speaker 2: I wonder if that has to do with pandemic dreaming.
Speaker 2: I think there's this thing out to get you. It
Speaker 2: just never stops.
Speaker 1: I think it's totally true. I think it is. You
Speaker 1: take a bath in chlorine, and it was my first
Speaker 1: pandemic dream that I know of. You know what's weird
Speaker 1: is I had a dream similar to that, very very
Speaker 1: very similar. Maybe it was on the same night.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, this was a long time ago. But
Speaker 2: in this dream, my old roommate Dave what's up? Dave,
Speaker 2: Dave cal Him Tony Stark sometimes. Him and I were
Speaker 2: playing video games pretty regularly. We were playing this one
Speaker 2: where you're like on a boat and you don't have weapons,
Speaker 2: you don't have anything, but there's like ghosts and monsters. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and the whole point is to hide and to be
Speaker 2: sneaky and to not get caught.
Speaker 1: And this was a dream like.
Speaker 2: Phantom like rates of floating which things and and and
Speaker 2: you've got to hide in like like like a cabinet.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, good try.
Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, but uh we played this game where you know,
Speaker 2: monsters things, and then I have this dream that night
Speaker 2: on like a apartment complex and inside one of the
Speaker 2: rooms and I'm hiding in a closet. Basically it's where
Speaker 2: my dream starts. And then these little like kind of
Speaker 2: almost shadow peoplely things are coming after me.
Speaker 1: Once again. With the shadow people, that's the.
Speaker 2: Only thing I can relate them to. Their like almost
Speaker 2: more like reverse shadow people, Like they're they're like bright,
Speaker 2: kind of jagged figures of people, and I'm running away
Speaker 2: from them, trying to hide, and the keep there's more
Speaker 2: and more, and I jump off the roof of this
Speaker 2: apartment complex into a swimming pool. And that's when my
Speaker 2: kind of safety happens is when I hit the swimming
Speaker 2: pool after being overwhelmed by these weird that's it was
Speaker 2: really weird that you said that about the zombies, because.
Speaker 1: It's almost like there's a common recurring dream in our
Speaker 1: genetic code.
Speaker 2: WHOA, all right, that's kind of cool anyway, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't know, how do we watch too many videos?
Speaker 1: I think people jumping a swimming pool, too many movies,
Speaker 1: too many bad movies, hotel heist movies. So the next
Speaker 1: one it would be intruders. Yeah, people breaking into your
Speaker 1: house and avoiding them or saving your kids or whatever
Speaker 1: because of intruders. Those you've had those dreams freak me out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've had a couple of this, And I had
Speaker 2: one where, uh, you know, I had the kind of
Speaker 2: dream or something was.
Speaker 1: Off when I woke up in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: You have to go check the light. Two in the morning.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, I do this every time. I
Speaker 1: just go look at the door. The door's locked. I
Speaker 1: go back to bed.
Speaker 2: Everything's okay. Yeah, I get up hesitantly opened the door.
Speaker 2: Lights roll off. Houses nice and dark, maybe the the
Speaker 2: oven light is on or like the microwave, like you
Speaker 2: can see like a dim light in the kitchen. I
Speaker 2: checked the door, it's locked. You know, you have that
Speaker 2: sigh of relief. You're like, just another manic.
Speaker 1: Monday, just another manic mon. Turn around.
Speaker 2: I saw a six foot two guy, no hair, big beard,
Speaker 2: and I kind of like went into like fight or flight,
Speaker 2: full fight mode, ready to tackle this person.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what it was. So that was
Speaker 1: the Marty sawmon. It was Marty. So it's been for
Speaker 1: people who don't know us talking about him. He is
Speaker 1: a missionic rabbi, so he has like the long beard
Speaker 1: and tassels and stuff, so in some way very Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's really he's tall, and yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Would kind of give you a weird especially because you
Speaker 2: just came to the point of, yeah, sorry, there's nobody here.
Speaker 1: I'm just being weird again. I'll go back to bed
Speaker 1: and then ah, and then you look at him, and
Speaker 1: you see that those white pearly teeth aren't like vampire teeth.
Speaker 1: It's actually a giant smile and it's not quite so scary. Yeah. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: there's one more. You know. I found a list of
Speaker 1: thirty of these. I just went to number sixteen because
Speaker 1: I thought number sixteen was very interesting and it was
Speaker 1: being naked in public. I don't hear about these. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never been naked. I've been in my underwear in
Speaker 1: public where I realized, oh my gosh, I didn't put
Speaker 1: my pants on, but I had been totally exposed buck naked.
Speaker 1: Unlike the Duchess of Cambridge or Kate Middleton, the princess,
Speaker 1: she's actually quite attractive, very pretty lady, good for her people.
Speaker 1: But she she, you know, was kind of thrust into
Speaker 1: the limelight when she prince and she's in line to
Speaker 1: be the Queen of England, and she has talked about
Speaker 1: this openly in public, about having dreams about being naked
Speaker 1: in public, in front of the Queen, in front of
Speaker 1: the press and in front of the public. She goes
Speaker 1: to a royal event and she's naked in the dream. Now,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of dudes, especially wish that they
Speaker 1: would see you, Kate, you know, naked in front of
Speaker 1: a large crowd. But it's not a fun dream to have.
Speaker 1: So anyway, embarrassing dreams very dream You know. Another interesting
Speaker 1: story about Kate Middleton, and I don't know if it
Speaker 1: maybe is part of the dream, maybe cause the dream,
Speaker 1: But they went out on her and the prince went
Speaker 1: out and they were on a boat and some photographers
Speaker 1: caught some pictures of her sunbathing topless and it was
Speaker 1: a big scandal. Oh yeah, So maybe it comes from that.
Speaker 1: Maybe that kind of helped and traumatize her. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it was before or after, but anyway,
Speaker 1: shame on you eyes for not giving her her privacy.
Speaker 1: That's just a bad form anyway. Well, Austin, that brings
Speaker 1: us to number five, healing dreams. So healing dreams, like
Speaker 1: we talked about in our first episode, are dreams that
Speaker 1: maybe speak to you and tell you something that motivates
Speaker 1: you to make a change or do something that actually
Speaker 1: brings healing to your life. Interesting. It could be emotional healing,
Speaker 1: it could be physical healing, a bunch of different things.
Speaker 1: So I found an interesting story online and it was
Speaker 1: found on the Huffington Post, and it's a story about
Speaker 1: a breast cancer survivor. Her name was a Sonny or
Speaker 1: Sunny Ingles, and I'm not sure I would pronounce it Sonny,
Speaker 1: but anyways, had a dream that she believes saved her life,
Speaker 1: and so the dream was really interesting. So apparently this
Speaker 1: lady was running in a race and she was way ahead,
Speaker 1: she was winning. So she's chugging along running and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden a car pulls up beside her and
Speaker 1: it's her husband, and he rolls down the window or
Speaker 1: kicks open the door or whatever. He says, get in,
Speaker 1: get in. She's like, no way, I'm winning the race.
Speaker 1: I'm winning the race, and he goes, you need to
Speaker 1: get in. You can come back to the race later.
Speaker 1: And after some pleading, Sonny gets in the car and
Speaker 1: they drive off, and apparently he takes her home. And
Speaker 1: when they come in the house, she's feeling weird and
Speaker 1: kind of upset because she left the race when she
Speaker 1: was winning and feeling good about it. And she walks
Speaker 1: by a mirror, looks over and sees that there's something
Speaker 1: wrong on the side of her neck. And in real life,
Speaker 1: her mom had had like some thyroid surgery or something recently.
Speaker 1: For some reason, it's stuck in her mind that there
Speaker 1: was something wrong with her neck, and when she woke
Speaker 1: up the next day, she decided that maybe this dream
Speaker 1: was trying to tell her something. So she talked to
Speaker 1: her husband and talked to her mom, and her mom
Speaker 1: encouraged her, well, what do you got to lose, Just
Speaker 1: go get it checked. So she goes to the doctor
Speaker 1: and it turns out they found breast cancer, that she
Speaker 1: was in stage one breast cancer, and because of that,
Speaker 1: they caught it early, so they were able to do
Speaker 1: like a limited surgery and gave her some chemotherapy, and
Speaker 1: after you know, a month or two or four whatever
Speaker 1: it was, she was cancer free. Nice. So she believes
Speaker 1: that dream saved her life, or at least stopped her
Speaker 1: from going down a path where the cancer would have
Speaker 1: become stage two or three or more. Yeah, right, And
Speaker 1: I thought that was cool, Like you know, my mom,
Speaker 1: your grandma, she had breast cancer and after twenty some
Speaker 1: years they found it in stage four and it actually
Speaker 1: took her life. And I wish mom would have seen
Speaker 1: it or had a dream that dream to go in
Speaker 1: and get checked, like when that was just beginning. Maybe
Speaker 1: that would be a different outcome. Maybe I don't know.
Speaker 1: So going on to number six, these are fun prophetic
Speaker 1: or precognitive dreams. So these are interesting because you have
Speaker 1: like the traditional ones we've all heard about, like anybody
Speaker 1: who's gone to church, or even if you haven't, you've
Speaker 1: heard the religious kind of prophetic dreams. So another kind
Speaker 1: of prophetic dream could be done by anybody like you
Speaker 1: or me. And we can have a dream and for
Speaker 1: some reason we think it's real and we bank on it,
Speaker 1: and sure enough it happens. So one of those dreams,
Speaker 1: and this this isn't like absolutely positively one hundred percent,
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't prove it, but it's expected to
Speaker 1: be true. And that's the dream that Abraham Lincoln had
Speaker 1: about his own assassination. So he had a dream and
Speaker 1: it was reported by his lawyer friend and partner who
Speaker 1: also was one of his bodyguards, a dream that he
Speaker 1: had that was basically of somebody being assassinated in the
Speaker 1: White House. And this took place just prior to his
Speaker 1: assassination in the theater. And so we got your brother
Speaker 1: in law Andrew, who was going to do his interpretation
Speaker 1: of Abraham Lincoln. So we're gonna play that episode. Who
Speaker 1: this is? This is his This is Mary Shelley's husband. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is Abraham Lincoln's recitation of his dream, as given
Speaker 1: to his lawyer. Take it away, Andrew.
Speaker 4: I soon began to dream. I heard subdued soalbs, as
Speaker 4: if a number of people were weeping. I left my
Speaker 4: bed and wandered downstairs. There I met with a sickening surprise.
Speaker 1: Before me.
Speaker 4: It was a catafalque, one which rested a corpse wrapped
Speaker 4: in funeral investments. Around it was stationed soldiers who are
Speaker 4: acting as gods. And that was a throng of people
Speaker 4: gazing mournfully upon the corpse, whose face was covered others
Speaker 4: weeping pitifully. Who was dead in.
Speaker 1: The White House?
Speaker 4: I demanded of one of the soldiers.
Speaker 1: The president was his answer. He was killed by an assassin.
Speaker 1: So for those of you who think that he doesn't
Speaker 1: sound nearly like Abraham Lincoln, I want you to know
Speaker 1: that Andrew actually went out on the web and did
Speaker 1: a bunch of research, probably spent two or three hours
Speaker 1: trying to find written explanations of what Abraham Lincoln sounded
Speaker 1: like and apparently had a higher tenor voice with a
Speaker 1: little bit of kind of a Southern draw, and so
Speaker 1: Andrew kind of came up.
Speaker 2: With, it's weird that he had a Southern draw, I know,
Speaker 2: because he's kind of not that southern well, and he.
Speaker 1: Was aligned with the North. Yeah, yeah, but anywhere. Abraham
Speaker 1: Lincoln sure forg gone seven years ago.
Speaker 10: Our father shut fork to this continent noon day, and
Speaker 10: she used in the proposition that all men are created,
Speaker 10: dequel was certain un alienabull rights.
Speaker 1: How's that? That's actually pretty darn good. We should have
Speaker 1: had you do it.
Speaker 2: I was trying to get my bingo wings flapping, you know,
Speaker 2: shake my hands a little.
Speaker 1: It's too bad that we don't have actual recordings of
Speaker 1: what he sounded like. And then we could make a
Speaker 1: bet and then the winner of you and Andrew could.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but wouldn't it be depressing to lose to Andrew.
Speaker 7: Four score seven years ago?
Speaker 2: He's like Mike Tyson, Yeah, hush guard seven years ago.
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson apparently, or Mike I don't know what I
Speaker 2: was say. He's got that weird lisp.
Speaker 1: I can't Mike Tyson, I don't know. I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: anything bad about him, because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he'd knock you the flip out, bro.
Speaker 1: My face into a bloody bulp.
Speaker 2: Or just get high with you and be like doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Apparently he was a ranch full of weed.
Speaker 5: I don't know anything about that.
Speaker 8: I don't know nothing about none, but I know what
Speaker 8: I can do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently he started a ranch in Mariluina and like
Speaker 2: you can go and stay there.
Speaker 1: He's got like the best marijuana and weird. I know
Speaker 1: he's training. I don't know. I've seen all the memes
Speaker 1: on the Facebook of him getting in fighting shape and
Speaker 1: that maybe him and even Hollyfield are going to go
Speaker 1: at it in their.
Speaker 2: Fifties, fight that guy either one, especially if he's got
Speaker 2: the monkeys. If you do, make sure you don't expose
Speaker 2: your ear protectors like that looks like cauliflower.
Speaker 1: I'm honey. Okay, we're moving on number seven. We've only
Speaker 1: got two more categories to go on. We're doing it,
Speaker 1: and we're only like like one hour. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be a long episode, all right. Well, a good thing
Speaker 1: about podcasts is you can stop it and restart at
Speaker 1: any time. So for those of you who have hung
Speaker 1: in there, congratations, congratulations. Okay, number seven signal dreams. This
Speaker 1: is really interesting. Signal dreams are dreams that help you
Speaker 1: solve a problem, something that you're thinking about and you're
Speaker 1: stewing on and then all of a sudden you have
Speaker 1: this dream and Alujah chorus, Suddenly you know the answer
Speaker 1: or you are on the right track of an answer direction. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so one of those could be. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's a perfect fit. But Albert Einstein when he was young,
Speaker 1: and it sent him on his journey, his quest for
Speaker 1: the theory of relativity. But this dream was a young
Speaker 1: Albert sliding down a snowy mountain side on a sled.
Speaker 1: Nice jingle belling, Yeah, And the sled kept going faster
Speaker 1: and faster and faster. And the faster he went and
Speaker 1: approached the speed of light, he noticed that the stars
Speaker 1: around him started distorting and stretching and becoming weird and colorful.
Speaker 1: And when he awoke, that dream kind of triggered his
Speaker 1: lifelong exploration of finding out the theory of relativity that
Speaker 1: when you approach the speed of light that things change.
Speaker 1: So out of that came the equation he equals MC squared.
Speaker 1: And it's a true story. It's I mean, get on online.
Speaker 1: Check it out. It's all over the place. So that's one.
Speaker 1: Another one is Elias Howe. Now, Elias Howe, for those
Speaker 1: of you who don't know, was the inventor of the sewing.
Speaker 2: Machine and distant relative Linda Moulten Howe.
Speaker 1: Linda Moulton how the cattle mutilation goddess mother Moo, mother
Speaker 1: Moo we call her, yes, which she has her website.
Speaker 1: You should check her out. But anyway, first couple episodes.
Speaker 1: If you're wondering what we're talking about, Yeah, yeah, go
Speaker 1: back to cattle mutilations. But uh, Elias how he had
Speaker 1: a dream and I love this dream. This dream is awesome.
Speaker 1: So Elias how was trying to figure out how to
Speaker 1: create a machine that could sew and he was stumped.
Speaker 1: And he had thought about this and thought about this,
Speaker 1: you know, and the things that I read, and to
Speaker 1: the point of exhaustion. Poor guy, he was just miserable.
Speaker 1: But maybe that point of exhaustion and inability to sleep
Speaker 1: actually gave him the answer he was looking for in
Speaker 1: a signal dream, because he had a dream that he
Speaker 1: was in Africa and the jungles of Africa and he's
Speaker 1: being chased by a cannibalistic African tribe through the jungle.
Speaker 1: So you know, in my mind, I'm thinking all like
Speaker 1: Indiana Jones here, you know, running through it. You know,
Speaker 1: well that too. And he's running through the jungle and
Speaker 1: the cannibals finally catch him and they tie him up
Speaker 1: and they throw him in a big boiling well it's
Speaker 1: not boiling. They throw them in a pot and they
Speaker 1: put it over a fire, and I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: they cut up potatoes and carrots and stuff and threw
Speaker 1: it in there, and they're gonna have, you know, an
Speaker 1: elias house stew How you stealing? How you stealing it?
Speaker 1: Don't liast to me anyway. So the water's heating up,
Speaker 1: and he is getting uncomfortable in his dream, and so
Speaker 1: he tries to jump out of the pot, and these
Speaker 1: cannibals would have these sharp tipped spears and they'd poke
Speaker 1: him and jab him and knock him back into the pot.
Speaker 1: And so after a while, you know, it was very
Speaker 1: disturbing and he woke up. One thing he remembered, though,
Speaker 1: in his conscious mind, is that the spears, for some reason,
Speaker 1: had little holes in the end of them. And as
Speaker 1: he was thinking about the dream, he had the thought
Speaker 1: light yeah. The light bulb goes off, and he says,
Speaker 1: there's holes in the points. There's holes in the points.
Speaker 1: There's holes in the points. Keep talking about you're talking
Speaker 1: about the holes in the points. What is that? It
Speaker 1: sounds a point no holes. It sounds like a gambling scheme,
Speaker 1: you know, a point fixing scheme for Vegas basketball gambling
Speaker 1: holes in the points. Anyway, so he starts thinking about this,
Speaker 1: and he realizes that in a sewing needle, the holes
Speaker 1: on the back of the needle and you put the
Speaker 1: thread through it, and they push it through the fabric
Speaker 1: and you put it back up. But it was impossible
Speaker 1: to push the needle through the fabric on a machine
Speaker 1: and then have it turn around and come back through,
Speaker 1: because it would need an arm or something that would
Speaker 1: pass it through and pass. So then he had the
Speaker 1: brain idea, the hole in the point like the holes
Speaker 1: in the spear. What if you put the thread in
Speaker 1: the tip of the needle instead of the back eye
Speaker 1: of the needle. M then it would be a relatively
Speaker 1: simple mechanical procedure to push the thread through the fabric
Speaker 1: and then from the bottom have another islet that goes
Speaker 1: in ties the fabric through the hole and then pulls
Speaker 1: that thread back up to the top of the fabric.
Speaker 1: I've dealt with this kin undrum myself well, and it
Speaker 1: turned out that was the answer. He made the mechanism,
Speaker 1: and he is the father of the sewing machine, and
Speaker 1: it is the same principle that all sewing machines from
Speaker 1: the until now have been based up. That's a signal,
Speaker 1: that's awesome. So what we're gonna say, you've got the
Speaker 1: same problem.
Speaker 2: I've always wondered how sewing machines work because like, it
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: You just look at it.
Speaker 2: Knowing what I know about sewing is you have a needle,
Speaker 2: here's a thread in the back of it, poke it through,
Speaker 2: send it through the other side.
Speaker 1: Well, no, you got the bobbin underneath. I know that's
Speaker 1: the thing. You gotta wind the thread on the bobbin.
Speaker 2: Well, I've never really paid attention to a machine. So
Speaker 2: mom would so like weird pillows I had to have
Speaker 2: for school for like assemblies or whatever.
Speaker 1: And her sewing machine never worked very well either. Oh brother,
Speaker 1: get it, brother, brother, Our brother is a singer machine.
Speaker 1: Sewing jokes. We're sewing jokes in the field. No no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: but I've always wondered how it works.
Speaker 2: And I actually saw like a little graphic animation kind
Speaker 2: of thing where it was like a X ray type
Speaker 2: vision thing of how it goes. It could show the
Speaker 2: needle in the thread, and I was like, oh, I
Speaker 2: so to come up with that. I wouldn't think of that,
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty mechanically minded.
Speaker 1: But.
Speaker 2: Subject, Okay, stop it, Okay, put a put a thimble
Speaker 2: in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're zig zagging all over the place. We do. Okay,
Speaker 1: So finally that brings us to our eighth and final
Speaker 1: category and then we can wrap this long drawn out
Speaker 1: episode up. Epic dreams. Epic Now, this one was hard
Speaker 1: because when I tried to do research on, you know,
Speaker 1: epic dreams that people have had, it was hard to find.
Speaker 1: And epic dreams are dreams that fundamentally change a person's
Speaker 1: trajectory in life, like a pivotal dream. Yeah, pivotal, there's
Speaker 1: different names for it. It's a life changing experience. It's
Speaker 1: it's very real, it's very specific. It's it's something that's
Speaker 1: not forgettable. You can't forget it if you tried, and
Speaker 1: it resonates and it usually brings some kind of special
Speaker 1: information to you that makes you want to do things differently,
Speaker 1: or gives you purpose or yeah, and they can be
Speaker 1: prophetic even. But what's weird about them is that they
Speaker 1: are so real, so big, impactful, so epic that they
Speaker 1: stick and you can't get rid of them if you try,
Speaker 1: except for maybe with illicit drugs and alcohol. Wow. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not recommended. That might work for surgeon's general warning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: surgeon general warning, or could maybe amplify the epic dream.
Speaker 1: So okay, let's think of people who have had epic dreams.
Speaker 1: Let's do good examples. Martin Luther King.
Speaker 7: I have a dream one day this nation will rise up,
Speaker 7: live out the true meaning of its dreams. We hold
Speaker 7: these joos to be self evident that all men are created.
Speaker 2: I have a dream.
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know if that was inspired by it
Speaker 1: by an actual dream that he had at night that
Speaker 1: he remembered, but I mean, that's like one of the
Speaker 1: things I think of, Okay, an epic dream. I've had
Speaker 1: an epic dream. I told that story in the first
Speaker 1: one about you know, and I think it means something
Speaker 1: still do to this day, but I'm not sure what.
Speaker 1: I can't forget it. Then there are people who have
Speaker 1: had epic dreams that are bad, and sometimes they might
Speaker 1: broach into the Messiah complex type of epic dreams where
Speaker 1: they believe they are something, they have encountered something, and
Speaker 1: they are something very very special and it directs their life.
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of like rock gods or
Speaker 1: movie stars that can have that flavor. They think that
Speaker 1: they maybe actually have had a dream or have been
Speaker 1: spoken to by some entity that makes them that they
Speaker 1: are special and they must do something different with their life.
Speaker 2: Who's big on that stuff? Cult leaders?
Speaker 1: Col leader? Yeah, I was gonna say, James Jones, Jonestown Children,
Speaker 1: he had dreams they moved South America and killed everybody
Speaker 1: on the whole thing is awful. Drink the kool aid.
Speaker 1: You'd really have to have potent dream Yeah, well they
Speaker 1: you here. Think of another one, probably the most notorious
Speaker 1: that he talked a lot about his dreams for different things,
Speaker 1: which would be Adolf Hitler dreams of the Third Right,
Speaker 1: dreams of the Aryan race, dreams of the extermination of Jews,
Speaker 1: which kind of brings us to the whole concept of dreams.
Speaker 1: Dreams can be good, dreams can be bad, or they
Speaker 1: could be in between. They could be inert. They could
Speaker 1: just be nothing. But there are also a lot of
Speaker 1: things that like in the pursuit of information, it's almost
Speaker 1: like delving into the occult where if you think that
Speaker 1: in your dreams you can come in contact with something
Speaker 1: that gives you extra world information that maybe they get
Speaker 1: a little dangerous, almost like the idea of possession, where
Speaker 1: you're messing around with things that you don't know where
Speaker 1: the information is actually coming from. You don't know if
Speaker 1: it's true, good or bad, and so it's like the
Speaker 1: pursuit of that could almost turn into something awful. It's
Speaker 1: almost like something could like in the case of Hitler
Speaker 1: or some of the other people, it's like in the
Speaker 1: pursuit of those things, it could almost turn into something
Speaker 1: really bad, like maybe you come into contact with information
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't or maybe it's like you're solving a
Speaker 1: problem in my mind, I almost want my dreams instead
Speaker 1: of pursuing dreams that give me some kind of special information.
Speaker 1: I just want my consciousness and my brain and all
Speaker 1: of that stuff needs it that it delivers it by
Speaker 1: itself without me trying to force it to right, except
Speaker 1: for maybe in daydreams, and daydreams are kind of different.
Speaker 1: You love my daydream Yeah, you can kind of control those,
Speaker 1: and there are inspiration for creativity and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. But anyway, I mean, so that's our eight topics,
Speaker 1: that's our eight dream categories. Pretty crazy, Yeah, and you know,
Speaker 1: it was kind of fun. We've got to think about
Speaker 1: our own dreams that we've had. And then tonight now
Speaker 1: it's late, it's probably about midnight, and we get to
Speaker 1: go try to experience our own dreams or maybe not try,
Speaker 1: but maybe we will. Yeah, maybe we'll get chased by zombies.
Speaker 1: That would be cool. I love a zombie dream. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Or maybe we'll have to find off hot ladies who
Speaker 1: find us irresistibly attractive hot lady zombies like no that anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the weirdest.
Speaker 1: Dream you've ever had that you can remember? Like just weird,
Speaker 1: not like you know, I think of, you know, my
Speaker 1: epic dream is so still so burned in my memory.
Speaker 1: It's the first one I think of. I can't help
Speaker 1: it when I think of other ones. I think of
Speaker 1: the ones I had recently, which is the Paul zombies,
Speaker 1: zombies that chased me around, the one where I was
Speaker 1: stuck to the floor, that was really really weird weird.
Speaker 1: It was a weird hard one. How about you, what
Speaker 1: was your weirdest dream? I don't know about the weirdest.
Speaker 2: I had a couple of dreams, like kind of back
Speaker 2: to back. It was while I was playing games with
Speaker 2: that same friend, David, and uh we were in but
Speaker 2: we were like in the game, and that was kind
Speaker 2: of cool. I like those dreams where you're in the game,
Speaker 2: like you. I've had several dreams where like a video game,
Speaker 2: and I don't even play that many video games anymore.
Speaker 1: I used to. It's a natural jumping point, but like you're.
Speaker 2: You're in the video game, which is kind of like
Speaker 2: a dream in itself because you're doing these things you
Speaker 2: could never do it in your real life. I've had
Speaker 2: these dreams where I'm in a video game like Modern
Speaker 2: Warfare or something, or Daisy, which is a zombie game,
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm trying to link up with my
Speaker 2: friends or Those dreams are always a little bit weird
Speaker 2: because it's like violent but fun. Weird, but you know
Speaker 2: it's okay, Yeah, it's odd.
Speaker 1: Those dreams are weird. I oh, gosh, Okay. My weirdest
Speaker 1: dream ever the one that kind of haunts me because
Speaker 1: it was so awful. Was a dream about your sister.
Speaker 1: I think I've heard this, and she had some terrible
Speaker 1: disease or something, and she was miserable and she was
Speaker 1: begging me to put her out of her misery. And
Speaker 1: so in the dream it's like I shot her in
Speaker 1: the head and then she didn't die, and then I
Speaker 1: felt bad. I'm like, I'm so sorry I shot you.
Speaker 1: You wanted me to, but you're not dying, so maybe
Speaker 1: you're not terminally ill. And she's like, well, if you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have shot me in the head, i'd probably live.
Speaker 1: But now that you shot me, I'm going to die. Yikes.
Speaker 1: Turn the cards on you, I know it. And I
Speaker 1: wake up and you wonder what in the heck is
Speaker 1: going off? And it might have had something to do
Speaker 1: with At that time, your grandma had a dog that
Speaker 1: was old and mean, and she asked me to have
Speaker 1: it put down down but she didn't want to pay
Speaker 1: any money to do it. And she'd asked me, if
Speaker 1: i'd just go out and do it like you used
Speaker 1: to do on the farm, if you had an old
Speaker 1: animal out of compassion, you would like put it out
Speaker 1: of its misery. Kind of like Old Yeller, right, you know,
Speaker 1: or where the red fern grows. So I took this
Speaker 1: her animal out and I euthanized it very humanely, but
Speaker 1: it very.
Speaker 2: Much to point point to two middleleaders of black power.
Speaker 4: But it bug me.
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't want to do it, and but
Speaker 1: yet at the same time I didn't want to. I
Speaker 1: didn't have any money. We were mom and I were broke,
Speaker 1: so I can, you know, pay for it? So I
Speaker 1: did what she asked, And to this day, I think
Speaker 1: it still haunts me a little bit, although I can
Speaker 1: kind of justify those things. I can bring myself to
Speaker 1: do those things. If it doesn't modern, yeah, well will
Speaker 1: when you're older, because it didn't used to bug me either. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So maybe that's what inspired that dream. But it was horrible.
