Have movies, film, and television changed the way humans dream in today’s society, and do we need dream encryption? John Szalyga joins me in a fast-paced dialogue involving an incredible range of topics while sticking to getting the precise answers to the experiment’s questions from another openly divulging guest. Viewing dreams from a cinematic context while touching on meditation, defining consciousness through awareness, deviation of perception and memory, reacting to daily living in Brooklyn, New York, questioning our elders about their differing dream experiences and learning from them, we also discuss how detailed we can get about dream recollection. This episode further strengthens the one important connection to dreams, emotion, explaining why revealing your dreams freely or being guarded about them mirrors one’s emotional openness or resistance to sharing them. Once again the subject of train and bathroom dreams as gateways to lucidity comes up, while talking about seemingly irrational waking experiences that sound like dreams when being recounted. We get closer to figuring out how we may be able to pull off the experiment with a positive result, right in line with movie and television creations that have been prodding us for years about the telepathic possibilities of the mind.
Am I trying to be Freddy Krueger here? Am I trying to invade peoples’ dreams? In the classic Wes Craven movie concept, the serial killer character kills people in the most frightening way possible. I recall a very troubling and terrifying dream involving my character and role in society and a gigantic serpent woman who vivaciously welcomed me. The podcast ends with an original song I wrote called “Hunger”, which was inspired by a 2005 movie that challenges waking and dreaming reality called The Proposition, written by Nick Cave.
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.
With our fifth 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.
