I take the first step back to look at the experiment during the dark days of winter that slowly turn back to longer, brighter days. I recap what stands out in the data, touching on emotion, motivation, the validity of the experience of dreams to the individual who experiences them, awareness of the subconscious brought into the conscious on a daily basis, and the inclusion of dreams as a benefit to daily life versus their denial. I describe a journaled vivid dream that I call The Luthier that I experienced like a movie from the first person point of view. Every few episodes I do a retrospective like this to see what it is we may have learned and how to proceed in future episodes, and this being the first one I can already see how far it has come to date while revisiting this archived data remains relevant even as it recedes into the past.
The podcast ends with a song I wrote in the late 90s during a two week period working with the band Violent Femmes while they mixed their album Freak Magnet. The song is called “I Need A Girl”, and it is nothing like the type of songs I usually write, showing how easily one’s creativity can be influenced by other creative people, especially when both sender and recipient are open to a high degree in their respective roles. In the context of this podcast, I can see how the message of the song is the appreciation for the person by your side when you wake from your dreams and start your day, with an added bonus to have that person greatly interested in the dreams you can remember just waking from.
You can even see that I am credited under technical personnel on the Wikipedia page for the album: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freak_Magnet
As usual, with the Dreaming Life Podcast now on dsound, The Dream Experiment can be accessed on the blockchain, fully uncensored and decentralized with an incentivized personal interaction platform that the podcast has been patiently waiting for. You can listen and reply directly with engaging commentary by me on a more direct level than any other way previously.
This time with no guest, I continue to explain what the experiment is, why it needs to exist, and how it is deliberately designed as open source data collection that can be hosted by anyone who wishes to continue the experiment with everyone they know, with the potential of making the experiment exponentially influential in scope, data, and value to everyone who participates.
You can be a guest on the podcast. You can have guests on the podcast by asking the 10 questions I've formulated for all dreamers and bring subconscious awareness into the cognitive mind. The result is the world gets to know you intimately, and you learn things about yourself that you had no idea you could uncover.
With creativity being the main focus of how this podcast comes into being, I write and record the music on the podcast and sometimes a creative collaboration is the intended bonus outcome of an episode with music written by a guest or guests. Through creativity, we attain the highest form of communication between us thereby giving creativity the highest currency value known, and this philosophy aligns perfectly with Steemit and blockchain technology.
The podcast is free to download on iTunes, but now that the content is on Steemit, you can interact closely with me while supporting the creation of future episodes by upvoting and curating the content yourselves. Stay tuned for more episodes and keep dreaming while bringing those dreams into your waking lives.
I look forward to the evolution of this podcast and what information it uncovers, and we have already changed the lives of many. For those of you that find it incredibly convenient to listen on a podcasts app through itunes, please do so and consider interacting with the Dreaming Life posts on Steemit as that is where my attention will be to grow the podcast on the platform.
