Michael Lee is a government scientist with a PhD in Physical Chemistry by day—and explores lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences (OBEs), and soul retrievals by night. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover how AI is transforming science (from protein design to materials and cybersecurity) and then dive deep into the astral: retrievals, lower vs. higher planes, Monroe’s Focus 27 “Park,” shape-shifting entities, and what non-human intelligences might be teaching us. We finish with practical tips for starting your own lucid-dreaming/astral practice.
