After a dark-night-of-the-soul and recovery from addiction, Tom Matte emerged with a rare ability he calls Upside Vision—the capacity to see and interact with hologram-like images in waking life. He's since been assessed by researchers (including EEG work at the Institute of Noetic Sciences), and now uses short, focused "waking dream" reads to help clients unpack decisions, patterns, and momentum—often with eerie precognitive synchronicities. We cover how trauma can catalyze gifts, how to ethically engage intuitive data, and a simple hypnagogic drill you can try tonight to strengthen your own perception.
Tom's origin story: mental-health crisis ➜ recovery ➜ discovering "Upside Vision"
What he actually sees (and how it's different from imagination)
Lab signals: theta activity (medium-like states) + active alpha in left prefrontal areas
How his 5-minute reads work, what's "in-bounds," and where meaning-making happens
Precognition moments (yes, including the red balloon) and how to handle them
Trauma as a common thread that awakens latent abilities
A hypnagogic exercise to test and train your own visual intuition
Manifestation tie-in: why seeing + feeling the future state collapses time
