Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey, Paranormal.

(00:30):
As you know, if I was a random person just walking on the side of the road and
just had a microphone and I just walked up to you and said, hey,
sir, what's your interpretation of a dream?
What comes to mind? What words come to your mind when I say dream or dreams? What would you say?
Well, there's a lot of things that can come to mind, but I would probably lean

(00:52):
on the spiritual meaning of dreams, which is basically messages from your higher
self spirit guides angels or other spiritual beings,
the reason i say that is because you know
like we talked about in prior podcasts you know the
fact that when you're younger you're more acceptable or

(01:15):
receptible to the paranormal normal
when you get older you lose
that but you do get you do like
a lot of times as an older person your
your paranormal happens in your dreams basically so
with the spirit guides angels
or other spiritual beings beings these messages

(01:37):
can offer like guidance support encouragement
encouragement even warnings about your
life situations or decisions so even
dreams even though they're like a symbolic representation of
spiritual lessons or challenges i guess
being a paranormal investigator i would lean on the uh spiritual meaning it

(02:00):
did it also you know it does there's there's different terms of the meaning
you know some think it's it's like an unconscious unconscious desire of thoughts.
I mean, there's a lot of ways that you can attack that, but I would probably

(02:20):
just go with the spiritual meaning. Okay.
Well, I am familiar with what you're describing there.
I know on the, I guess you want to say the psychological clinical side of the
house when it comes to medical terminology and stuff, that would be categorized as a prophetic dream,
which is something that happens later in life, which involved seeing events,

(02:43):
images, or symbols that predict the future.
I mean, you just said right there, you know, clear as day that it's about items
or events or messages or things that are warnings or show you things that happen in the future.
So I can definitely see how you're saying how it's, you know,
messages and somebody receiving stuff just to kind of get a little heads up or a tip, say,

(03:08):
hey, be cognizant of this or this may happen or be wary or, you know,
whatever the situation may be.
Yeah, and you got to be pretty much in a REM state of sleep.
Because when you mentioned psychological, there's other parts of the psychological

(03:29):
part of that section too that it's believed that it's to help process memories and emotions as well.
And there may also be basically a way for our brains to practice problem solving.
I could definitely see that. Yeah, I could definitely see that where you have
all that noise and static during the daytime when you have your own independent

(03:50):
thoughts and when your brain can relax, then it's kind of replaying stuff and,
and letting your brain work through it on a different level.
Yeah, I just like talking to myself. I usually give myself the right answer.
I'll try to waste my time dreaming about it, but anyway. There you go.

(04:12):
So, you know, one of
the types of dreams that I always find interesting is the types of dreams where
you are watching a dream first person view like it's you.

(04:35):
You know, how it is normal during the daytime, the way you are,
you walk around looking at some and you're dreaming that way.
You're just watching it. But the thing is, is that you can't influence it.
It just happens. And you're just, it's kind of like being at the movie theaters.
So you're just a captive audience that's just watching what's happening.
And those I always find very interesting because of fact, you can't manipulate them.

(04:58):
You can't influence them so whatever's going on you're there for the remainder
of just seeing what plays out.
And those dreams i always find you know
interesting just because depending on the
individual they may remember them they may not they may
remember them to the point they can get a a journal and

(05:20):
and do like a dream diary and write down every single bit
of information they remember ever so and
they're and they recommend that actually they recommend that
you i can't think offhand what
that's called but anyway they they recommend there's
a part where people would recommend that you

(05:42):
basically keep a
journal of like let's
say in your memories you
can you can like write down this or that
and then when you dream again write it down and see
what coincides with each other or what differs
if that makes sense to you but they do mention

(06:05):
i remember somebody mentioning that you
know a lot of psychologists people that deal with dreams and stuff always tell
you that the best way to keep track of your dream is to keep a journal of it
yeah i could definitely see that because that way you can see the contrast and
parallels of things that are different or somewhat identical,

(06:25):
or if you have a reoccurring dream,
just to see what variant or thing may have changed over time.
I definitely get that.
Now, one of the other types of dreams that people may have or have experienced,
they might be shaking their head when I say this right about now,

(06:46):
is the type of dream to where where you are not watching it from your own eyes,
but you're watching it from behind everything as if you are kind of like,
if you use those programs on the computer that you can type in an address and
it will just zoom into where it's at.
So you're watching everything, but you're not doing it from a personal viewpoint.

(07:11):
So you're, you're kind of withdrawn back a little bit and doing it.
I know when I've spoken to people in the past on this particular subject,
a lot of people actually said that they had dreams in that type of scenario.
I wonder if that, because the Bible has a, not to touch on a lot of religion,

(07:34):
because we don't like to do that.
But I wonder if that deals with the Bible version, because the Bible version
says that, you know, dreams are sometimes referred to as visions of the night.
And the word vision is used for messages received while awake.
So I wonder, like, if you're talking about standing in the background,

(07:57):
basically watching a motion picture, if that's like the vision part of it.
Potentially you know the the interesting thing
about any old scripture and text or anything
that was written hundreds if not thousands of years ago is vernacularly speaking
or transcribed transcripting things they did not have the robust vocabulary

(08:23):
and ways to describe things that the the way modern society does.
So things were very plain text and rudimentary for words because there weren't
words that had multiple meanings or definitions or explanatory remarks of things

(08:44):
to give people's perceptions or thoughts on things.
And that's one of the things that I always find interesting is depending on
what you're reading from what era.
Or millennia or decade besides modern society it's always neat to see the way they convey things,

(09:06):
so now as far as it goes there's five main types of dreams though okay,
so you have like go ahead I was just simply going to say let's hear them Oh,
so you have your normal dreams,
you have daydreams, you have lucid dreams, you have false awakening dreams,

(09:32):
and then, of course, your most infamous one is nightmares.
Okay. So whether you remember your dreams or not, most people dream,
like I said, they have to be in a REM sleep when they dream. Okay.
So tell me this, we'll go, we'll go in that list and go reverse a nightmare. What's that to you?

(09:55):
Nightmare to me. I don't know, man, because I don't, I don't really get scared that easy.
I would think a nightmare is like when, you know, the typical meaning,
the most logical meaning would be a dream of fear.
So anything that would induce a panic or give a not positive experience emotionally,

(10:19):
psychologically, in a dream would result in a nightmare.
Yeah, anything frightening or unpleasant. Okay. Maybe even terrifying. Okay.
I would say it would be a nightmare.
All right. Then you touched base on lucid dreams.

(10:39):
What's your perception on that? To go back to a nightmare real quick,
do you actually know what causes nightmares?
What can cause nightmares?
Well, I have my own opinion on that, but I'm curious to hear what you're...
Well, let's hear your opinion.
What's your opinion on the cause? Let's hear your opinion.

(11:02):
I kind of tend to go two ways with it. I can go on a spiritual sense and I can
go with a more of a psychological modern society style sense.
And speaking on the latter, psychologically, I would say things that are unresolved

(11:24):
or scenarios or situations that are causing undue stress in someone's life.
And then it manifests things in dreams.
On the spiritual side of the house I can say from my theory is that it could
be dependent upon what's going on in your life and if you are indeed.

(11:51):
I'm familiar with any form of paranormal activity
or potentially maybe have the ability to be sensitive that nightmares could
be another component of contact.

(12:11):
I can, is the best way just to leave it at with other environments or realms
or or things of that nature of the paranormal.
And I don't think that the human brain can adequately equate or understand things

(12:32):
that it may experience, see, or emotionally perceive.
And therefore, all of those things come together and present itself,
self which could induce a nightmare spiritually
to a degree but i can agree to that and you and you touched on stress which

(12:55):
you know your your your logical meaning of nightmares i'm just going to say
logical and paranormal so logical basically stress negative life events the experience of trauma,
post-traumatic stress disorder.
We talked about PTSD a few times.
Other psychiatric disorders and medication side effects is something that people

(13:22):
don't really realize that if you're taking certain medications that a part of
a side effect of a medication could be having nightmares.
So basically the chemical component of the way it interacts with your body and
the different balances of what your brain's supposed to have for a bunch of different things.

(13:43):
And when you induce foreign substances in your body, how it alters what the normal status quo is.
And therefore, not maybe distorting, but changing what your baseline is,
and then it's interacting with your subconscious.
So hence where... Pretty much. It's like a chemical imbalance.

(14:05):
Right. Right, like a chemical imbalance. Thank you.
What do you think the most frequent nightmare is? What's that one that everybody always says?
Always being up in front of giving a lecture in some form of a class and not
having many articles of clothing on?
Standing in front of everybody?

(14:25):
Well, I mean, you know, out of anything that you can think of that would scare
people, what do you think some of the most frequent nightmares are?
I tell you what, in all sincerity, I really can't put a pin on it just because of fact,
things in this day and age are so
blown out in reference to financial ramifications and stability in life,

(14:53):
you know, stresses of family and parenting and jobs.
That's just kind of a whirlwind now.
So I would probably say maybe financial or work related.
Well, that would go like, say, maybe under worries and anxieties. Okay.

(15:16):
That's actually like number seven. If you can believe that.
Oh, I believe. So in my research, I came across this chart, which was kind of interesting.
But the number one thing in nightmares is failure or helplessness in a scenario.
And also tied with that is experiencing physical aggression.

(15:40):
So basically, like accidents, being chased, health related stuff is under that.
You know, interpersonal conflicts, worries and anxieties, disasters,
and actually an evil presence is like number nine, but insects and vermin are
the last thing, but believe it or not, like people's health related concerns

(16:01):
and worries and stuff that's down on the list.
And it's kind of amazing because you would think that that would take precedence. Yeah.
That that would be at the forefront of anybody's, you know, top three of what their concerns are.
So I definitely, definitely understand that.
Well, number three is accidents. So, but see, you know what I don't understand

(16:25):
is that they list these things and you look at like failure or helplessness in a scenario.
Two would be experiencing physical aggression. Three is accidents.
Okay, so if you took accidents, helplessness, and physical aggression,
wouldn't that be health-related concerns or death?
Potentially. It depends on the scenario. I mean, they're each unique and different,

(16:47):
but the tying factor is it's the human dynamic of being able to be in control.
And when you are not in control and you already touched base on it, being helpless,
that in itself is something normally growing up is not a charistical trait that

(17:09):
people are presented with.
It's not one of these hey welcome
to life and this is going to be part of what
your future may present itself as so when
it does happen to individuals unfortunately
if they've never experienced it earlier in life when it does happen it is multiplied

(17:32):
exponentially by stress and nobody knows how to counter it because helplessness is exactly that.
You don't know how to go forward.
You don't know what resources you have. You don't know what pieces that you

(17:54):
need to put in place to make whatever the problem is that you're experiencing.
Get fixed instead of being broken.
And it's just well you can actually you
can actually control your dreams it's a
fight and a struggle because you're beating the subconscious mind well but but
but what we were originally talking about though that you that you segued into

(18:18):
was just the different types of nightmares originally right but that's what
i'm saying though it's the same so the helplessness right Right.
So if I start dreaming that I'm helpless.
For some reason, I can turn that around where I'm not helpless and the person or the either.
Let's just say it's just me and I feel helpless.

(18:40):
I could turn around where I don't feel so helpless no more.
I can control the scenario, basically. I can see that.
So you don't have to be talented or gifted or anything to do that.
That's just strong will.
Right. Now, you touch base on three other types of dreams.

(19:02):
Originally, we touch base on the nightmares, and we touch base on lucid dreaming
that we were going to get into.
To and what is your
opinion of lucid dreaming well lucid
actually lucid dreams are the rarest type of
dreams and why is that no that i'm not

(19:24):
i'm not really big on lucid dreaming i
could jump in but i
want to hear you well go ahead let me okay lucid dreaming is the ability to
control the narrative it's well that's what i was just talking about yeah but
but specifically for lucid dreaming though this is where you're in complete

(19:44):
control of the dream consciously.
Psychologically you do whatever
it is you want to do in the dream you have
the free will to manipulate it right that's
kind of what i was talking so i was basically talking about lucid dreaming
by being able to control your dream correct yeah we're

(20:07):
just coming back around that's why i want to touch base on lucid
dreaming itself at that point oh right on
because i could see that's but see that's what i didn't know
so i didn't know that see i've never really dove into lucid dreaming and actually
i'm talking about it didn't even know it how about that yep there you go it's
it's it's it's sometimes it's a theory sometimes it's paranormal sometimes it's

(20:31):
you know A theory in the paranormal.
That's right. But yeah, as far as elusive dreaming goes, that is actually a
skill set that potentially people can learn to do.
Through different preparation and studying and reading on methodologies that are out there and,

(20:57):
then they could do this which i found pretty interesting i actually did some
studying in my earlier life when i was younger about dreams and two of the categories
that came up a lot was lucid dreaming.
And the other category, which isn't necessarily related to dreaming,

(21:23):
but was coined as a phrase that involves dreaming, was something called astral projection.
But we're not going to get into that particular category in this podcast.
That's a whole different ball of wax. So if anybody wants to look up what lucid
dreaming is more in detail,
detail you'll see how the parallels are also with astral projection by any means

(21:48):
necessary please look into it research it have fun with it and and see what that's about so.
Besides lucid dreaming what is
your opinion of the dreams that you
are dreaming but then you you have the
sleep paralysis well to

(22:09):
go back to lucid real quick because i just
learned something too while you were talking that approximately
20 have lucid dreams on a monthly basis and only a minority of approximately
one percent have lucid dreams several times a week that's a small amount it's
a very small amount that right so you know i'm curious i want to read the white

(22:34):
paper the white papers on this,
which is a medical reference terminology for the medical write-up or the.
Medical journals of the backing of that statement, what you just claimed.
I'm just curious of where they're getting their baseline from and all that information.
But it's interesting that it's such a small number because you would think if

(23:00):
something like that, it would be a bigger percentage of of whoever they queried or surveyed, you know?
Well, maybe people are like me, though. They might have had lucid dreams and
controlled them and didn't realize that's exactly what that is.
That's true. I didn't know that. So, I mean, so now the percentage just grew 1%. There you go.

(23:24):
So, but they also say, like, our lucid dreamers are smarter than the rest of us.
And I've read somewhere, well, I stumbled across, cross, I was reading about
something else on dreams and stumbled across that. And they say yes and no.
While there's no concrete evidence demonstrating differences in intelligence
between lucid dreamers and non-lucid dreamers, the former group has proven to

(23:50):
be more insightful and better at problem solving in real life situations, though.
So, and speaking to that, that might be either a,
a personality type, for instance, like a ENTJ personality type,
which is an individual that's very logical, analytical,

(24:10):
looks at the pros and cons of things, kind of is a peacemaker with everything.
It's, it's just the type of how that person's built.
To pull from the horoscopes if
everybody's familiar with those which i'm
sure at one point in time in your life it is everybody's had

(24:31):
an experience of read the horoscope in the
paper and see what it says for the month or the week or when was your birthday
what's your astrological sign well this is what it says the type of person you
are and all the different characteristics about you the reason why i bring all
that up is is just maybe there might be a horoscope.

(24:53):
That is or astrological sign that out of all of them there might be one that's
predispositioned to be more inclined to have those type of dreams doing lucid
dreaming than others you know.
Well, and that, and that falls and see now I'm not trying to walk away from

(25:15):
your sleep paralysis. We'll get to that in just a minute.
But if you're going to talk horoscopes, then you might as well talk about moon
phases and dream cycles. Well, yeah.
I mean, that actually, that's where I was going to go with that.
All right. Am I sensing you or are you sensing me? Where are we going with this?

(25:35):
I think the only sense right now we're using is something called common sense, but no.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, they do play, the moon phase plays a significant role, significant role.
Rolling dream cycles they can be more vivid and emotionally charged we just
had a full moon the first one of the year was what thursday i think it was right

(26:00):
but the end of last year we had a new moon,
and between i think it was december a day in december and a day in january like
mercury was off its rocker which was creating a bunch of different stuff going
on with people's minds and thought processes.

(26:21):
People don't realize that, that when Mercury, I forget what they call it,
but when Mercury's on that rampage during those days, then weird things happen.
It's almost like the full moon effect, but a little different.
So you're talking maybe the vibrational rates or frequency rates of energy, maybe?
It might be. If I was trying to, it could be that.

(26:46):
Basically because it only happens like certain
times of the year it's called mercury it's called
a mercury retrograde yep it's it's
basically an optical illusion and if the planet is moving backward from our
view of earth you know they basically technology communication could be disrupted

(27:08):
and putting a damper on anybody's need so that could happen okay so basically.
For anybody that's really big into science and i'm sure i'm gonna get tons of
emails on this because i'm gonna chop this up and probably say something wrong
somewhere but this is this is basically what it is in in my nerd talk,

(27:31):
You have the planets that are so far away from one another. They all have different
forms of radiation going through everything.
You also have the sun that does solar flares and so forth.
As we know, everything in the world, our world, is different compositions of
energy. Energy produce frequency.
Frequency can go through everything of the world. You got gamma radiation.

(27:55):
You got, you know, you name it.
My brain just went or i think i think that was my
end point right there because i was trying to go further no but my
whole point is is that you're talking about everybody being affected
by potentially mercury or the
different retrograde that was happening and so forth and that was the the tying

(28:16):
in factor i was trying to get to was the phasing potentially of the moon where
mercury was the distance all the different energy that was being thrown around
washing over the earth as As far as it goes,
everybody that's human, we're cellular composition, carbon, you name it,
CNS system, but things can pass through us.

(28:38):
So that, the wavelengths, so that's why all these individuals potentially might've
been affected by this because of all those energy frequencies washing over the
earth and everybody being receptive of that.
So I just want to do a little explanation of what you were talking about nerd
style so right in the moon phase i mean they say like people can you know go

(29:05):
outside and you know recharge themselves by the moonlight by the full moon or.
However i've only seen one or two it's usually the native americans that i've
seen they use the the moon and that in that retrospect nature yeah yeah and
so but observing the moon's phases can provide insights and the flow the what

(29:29):
they call the ebb and flow of your dream experiences.
Again, I haven't really gone in really deep on the moon phases.
I have on the horoscopes and stuff, but as far as dream cycles,
I just wanted to throw that out there.
Plus, you just gave a great definition of the retrograde, so that's cool, too.

(29:51):
Yeah, that was just looking at it from a metaphysical science sense.
You know i'm sure there's tons of studies out there and all that for everybody's like you know,
all this may affect cellular composition and people's
cns systems and and psychological and everything else but that was just my quick

(30:12):
two cents explanation of what you were trying to you know put a bow on and uh
explain i know we have a lot of listeners that tune in to what we We do hear
our podcast and they pick it up.
And if maybe they're not familiar with the subject or maybe they've only listened
to you a few different podcasts of ours,

(30:33):
I like always coming back around and explaining things in detail again,
just because I know when I listen to podcasts and I'll jump into something and
someone just says something and
it's like, I don't know what he's talking about or she's talking about.
And they're all having a conversation. Like everything's good.
I'm like, you know, 20 minutes in, I'm going, are they going to explain to me

(30:54):
what that comment was 20 minutes ago? Cause I'm, I'm still kind of confused here.
So yeah. Retro what retro is that clothing or what?
Right. So, all right. So sleep paralysis, what do you want to be?
What'd you ask me about sleep paralysis? Well, from a sleep paralysis standpoint,
what's your two cents on that?

(31:14):
Because that happens when you dream, right?
Yes. And no, there's a lot of people that, you know, It basically,
so like when we go into an investigation, let's say I'll put it on a paranormal platform first.
We walk in and basically they start telling us all the stuff that's going on

(31:36):
in the place and whatnot.
And then somebody says, yeah, you know, some mornings I wake up and I swear
somebody is pinning me down to the bed and they're holding me down.
I don't I don't like go, OK, that's paranormal.
I go I first go medical or outside the paranormal realm. I go to logical answers like sleep paralysis.

(32:01):
Basically, your mind has woken up, but the rest of your body has not.
Now, when you do that, again, you can go to PTSD.
You can go to generalized anxiety disorder, a panic disorder, insomnia, narcolepsy.

(32:22):
There's there's plenty of medical stuff that basically cause sleep paralysis.
It's not always somebody just pinning you down. So.
I don't I would have to go, you know, basically I would have to look at the medical side first.
Do these people have any of these things?

(32:44):
You know what I'm saying? And if that's kind of what you're looking for,
I'm just kind of winging it on going this direction before I go paranormal.
Well, I just wanted to get your thought process and theory on that.
Now, okay, swing it on over to the other side. You said paranormal.
What's your opinion of it maybe related to the paranormal now? Yeah.

(33:07):
Well, paranormal, I mean, there's plenty of legends on sleep paralysis with the paranormal.
You have the what do they call her? The old lady that basically is sitting on
top of you when you're sleeping and you wake up and they actually see her.

(33:29):
I forget what her name is, but anyway, it's, there is some paranormal aspects to it potentially.
Yeah. Cause it, it basically many, like a lot of cultures, like a lot of different
cultures, like in Egypt and Italy,
they believe that sleep paralysis is a supernatural kind of thing in a nature.

(33:52):
Yeah. Terroristic. Right. Right.
And then you also have what they call sleep demons.
OK, so sleep demons, they basically commonly involve temporary paralysis and
falling asleep or waking up.
Sensations for that might include, you know, chest pressure,

(34:13):
hallucinations, perceiving a presence in the room.
So basically, a sleep demon hallucination differ from nightmares as individuals
are semi aware of the episode that's happening to them.
So. The.

(34:34):
It's kind of a. To me, I mean, it's kind of a rude catch 22 because you do have
a bunch of medical stuff that this person could be suffering from PTSD,
and that could be the cause of the sleep paralysis.
Or they actually have a haunt and there's actually something paranormal going on.

(34:55):
It's very hard to decipher what kind of sleep paralysis we're dealing with.
Some scientists proposed sleep paralysis as an explanation for reports of the
paranormal and spiritual phenomena, even down to alien visits.
And then they go into the D word demons and demonic possession or if they've

(35:20):
had alien abduction experiences the night hag is the one I'm talking about laughing.
That's the one where the old lady basically, you know, hovers above you and
basically pins you to your bed. You can't move.
And, but you have people that actually wake up and see her holding you down.

(35:44):
So that's a whole nother story about the night hag, but we don't have to go
into that right now. Okay.
So circling back to my two cents on the sleep paralysis. I think it could be
for a variety of factors.
If I want to go medically or physiology speaking, it could be because you're overly drowsy or tired.

(36:11):
Your body's produced too much melatonin. It could also be because there's a
few different things that your body produces produces that tells you, hey,
you need to wake up.
And there's things that your body produces that says, hey, go to sleep.

(36:34):
And sometimes there's a disconnect chemically and where you become awake consciously,
but your body's still shut down.
So that also may come into play of of potentially where the sleep paralysis happens.
Now, that's just my opinion on the medical side of the house.

(36:59):
The paranormal side, I would say potentially, you know, you touch base on it also.
It could do with something that, how would I put this correctly?
It could do with something that's manipulating your energy to keep you at a

(37:19):
certain trance or level of not being able to wake up all the way fully.
Because I've said this many times in past podcasts, everything in the world is made of energy.
And if it's made of energy, then you can fluctuate and change the amount of
energy that's going places and what it does.

(37:41):
So potentially hey, maybe something's messing with you on a spiritual sense
when I mean spiritual I mean by paranormal not in a religious or Theology or biblical sense?
So those are the well and then the two women that's where Right and you got
three you got three different types.

(38:01):
You got visual auditory and sensory so if you fall on the sensory part and.
When you're when you're being when you feel like you're being pinned down,
the sensory part in you is going to create a fear.
And the fear is basically going to be a hallucination of an intruder being there,

(38:22):
whether, you know, it be spirit or ghost or the night hag or whatever.
You know what I'm saying? It's like you're like, why am I not moving?
So your brain is automatically going to say something is pinning me down.
Yeah, it's like I should be able because because normal day,
a normal day for everybody is your alarm goes off. You wake up and your whole body moves.

(38:45):
And one day your alarm goes off and basically your eyes open up and you can turn your head,
but you can't move the rest of your body because the brain is not told the rest
of your body to wake up. See, that's what I was talking to you about.
That one chemical. Right. Yeah. Yep.
So, but the sensory, I'm leaning on the sensory part, that sense of not being

(39:12):
able to move becomes a fear and the fear leads to the hallucination of somebody pinning you down.
You understand that's, that's where.
And what that is. I was going in. Oh, I got you on that.
What that is, is from a psychological standpoint, or psychology,
no matter what is going on in the world, the human brain is a proven fact.

(39:37):
Even without all information, it will sit there and try to figure out an answer
and put things together to make sense.
It takes eight seconds. It takes, like, for your brain to, now,
I learned this, you're going to probably laugh. No, to make a judgment.
To make a judgment. I learned, in Krav Maga, we learned that it's an eight-second,

(40:03):
like, if some guy's trying to come and grab you or rob you. Wait,
wait, wait. What's Krav Maga?
Krav Maga, man. Krav Maga. It's easy to say.
I thought you said Krav Rangoon, so I'm like, I'm hungry. Those are good.
Good there you go with food again okay so but crab so crab mcgaw is a self-defense,

(40:25):
israeli self-defense and we train true israeli so
anyway to get to the point in the crab mcgaw section we learned that if you
disrupt your attacker okay in any kind of way say you turn to him and you just
say hey joe how's it going man and you go oh i'm sorry you're not joe and you walk away,

(40:46):
well, it's going to take him eight seconds to figure out what just happened
there because he already had his mind set on walking up to you and robbing you or doing harm.
And you just turn that around. So you're talking about cause and effect is what
you're talking about or action for a reaction time?
Right. So you put that in sleep paralysis. You're not really like,

(41:11):
I've never heard of anybody pinned down for a very long time.
It's like a few seconds or moments. So my thing is like when you wake up and
you realize the rest of your body isn't moving, then basically your brain is
trying to decipher this for eight seconds. What's going on here?
Does that make sense? No, it does. Now, as a quick side note,

(41:34):
and I'm sure this has happened to you, I know it's happened to me,
and it's probably happened to a ton of our listeners.
When you sleep, there is a major time displacement.
You can have a dream. You can fall asleep, you can have a dream,
and it feels like it's lasted maybe 10 hours, 8 hours.

(41:54):
And you wake up and you figured out you were asleep for all of 15 minutes,
10 minutes, five minutes.
And, you know, there's that disconnect, which I always found interesting.
Is that dealing with some kind of time travel? No, not time travel,

(42:14):
just time displacement.
Meaning you can't it doesn't utilize
what we know as our own physics of
time to say this is how many hours are
in a day when you sleep and you are
conscious or awake it does not feel like an a minute is equal to a minute if
you're conscious i'm just getting to the point of when you sleep sometimes it

(42:39):
feels like you've slept for days you wake up and feel refreshed and you're like
oh wow wow, I felt like I slept like nine hours.
And then you look at the clock and it's like, I slept an hour. That's it.
So that's that. Yeah, I dig that. Like sometimes you can be like,
because you even tell yourself sometimes, some people be like,
oh, I need a 30 minute nap. Yep.

(43:01):
And in that 30 minutes, you felt like you slept for five hours.
Oh, I've been there many times. Trust me. My old previous life of my younger self and my old career.
Yeah. Yeah. I was the expert at that.
So I think I even mastered, go ahead.

(43:21):
You found what? So I think I said, I think I even learned and mastered how to
fall asleep while I was walking.
So I do that now, man. It's like, uh, I've been on, I like doing air conditioning.
I've been on job sites where people laugh at me because I can actually sleep
standing up and I'm like, I'm just taking a quick nap and then I'm going to
get back to work. Oh yeah.

(43:43):
But i know what you're saying is yeah without a
doubt so but go ahead the average the average age when it first occurs for sleep
paralysis is anywhere from 14 to 17 years and it's a it's a fairly common sleep
problem so this is just statistics it doesn't mean that it's real like a factual statistic but,

(44:05):
Basically, how many people have it vary widely from 5% to 40%.
You said the age bracket was from 14 to 17 years for age?
Yeah. So would that denote it being something that is a chemical or… Well,
when it first occurs, when it first happens.

(44:25):
Okay. So when it first, the average age of when it first occurs is anywhere
from 14 to 17 years old. That's when the first experience of sleep paralysis may happen.

(45:03):
Where I automatically went to thinking of going, okay, are all these things
coming into play to potentially affect somebody that way?
I haven't really dug into it that far to understand why it's that age that you
might be, I guess, because that's your, when you're becoming an adult age, 14 to 17.

(45:25):
So I guess you're, you're going to, you're leaning on the right subject,
which is your chemical balance from being a child to an adult.
How, because, you know, as we get older, our body changes. Yep.
Or from a preteen or teen to an adult, right?
Right. Right. Well, even everything changes. Like, you know,
you might not eat broccoli when you're a kid, but you love broccoli now.

(45:45):
You know what I'm saying? So everything changes as you get older.
Yeah. So maybe, maybe it's that because you figure 14 to 17,
you're becoming an adult, like a young man or a young lady at that moment.
And your body's going to go through those changes. All right.
So with all of these different types of dreams that we have discussed so far,

(46:10):
Dalton, have you ever experienced any of these types of dreams?
Well, obviously, I've done the lucid dreaming where I control my dreams.
I do that a lot. I don't dream a lot for some reason.
But when I do dream, if I don't like the situation in the dream, then I control it.

(46:36):
I always wind up controlling it. And believe it or not, this is kind of like
a weird, I mean, we're talking paranormal.
How weird can we get? But anyway, you know, so it's it's kind of like I'm controlling
the dream and the dream is fighting back to take over.
And then I control the dream and then it's fighting like it changes the scenario

(46:57):
to where, OK, what are you going to do now?
Kind of thing. You know what I'm saying? It's kind of weird how it happens.
And that and that I've even caught myself and I might have had sleep paralysis
because I catch myself trying to speak.
Like I'm saying, you know, yeah, like I'm trying to go look out for that ladder

(47:20):
and I'm just like, hmm, you know, moaning it.
Right. And I'm actually awake and I kind of realize that I'm trying to speak
in my sleep and I can't talk.
And then all of a sudden I completely wake up and I can go, okay.
Right. So I might have experienced a little sleep paralysis with my lucid dream.
No, I completely see that because in a normal daily routine,

(47:43):
we have our limbs, you know, our feet, our hands, arms, legs,
ears, eyes, mouth, nose, all of our senses.
So it's only natural that you're going to respond in a dream the way you would be if you were awake.
So therefore you exhibiting and doing all those things as if you were awake.

(48:04):
So I definitely, definitely get that. Now, have you experienced any other types
of dreams that we've discussed so far?
Or was that pretty much hitting the nail on the head there with the lucid dream? I haven't really.
My dreams are probably strictly beyond paranormal and astral projection,

(48:25):
you know what I mean? Because of the things that I'm able to do.
But now I've had people dreams, different people have explained dreams to me. Thank you.
Basically, they've dreamt that they were standing there and they were with an animal.
The animal was not attacking them. The animal seemed friendly.

(48:49):
I've also dreamed to have people tell me about dreams where something was tugging
at their feet. Interesting.
So the tugging at their feet is basically the fear of someone or something is holding you back.
So now when you when you

(49:10):
say that that's a life deal like
when you're a lot when you're a lot when you're awake in your
everyday life somebody is holding you back from
from advancing in your life or
getting a promotion or moving forward if that makes
sense so I could
I could see the I could see the the parallels to

(49:31):
see that yeah the metaphor metaphorical meaning
or possibly it
can mean that you have a spirit tugging on you i mean that's
also that but now animals is
kind of a interesting thing because after somebody had
told me let's say like one person

(49:53):
had told me during investigation that they had a dream that there was a lion
and at first they were a little nervous because it's a a lion and what the lions
do they eat meat so they felt like they might have been dinner but it wasn't
that the basically the lion walks over and sits next to him and was very friendly.
So when i did some research and started finding out about dreams and animals

(50:17):
i found that if a lion is in your dream it's all it's basically associated with
feeling confident and control control of your destiny,
basically, it also represents your personality,
specifically the influence and power that it holds.
So basically, you're very confident and you're in control. So you're talking about symbolism.

(50:42):
Symbolism. There we go. Symbolism of different things in a dream and what they could represent.
I think it's a symbolic message of your self-being.
Have you ever grabbed one of those books? And it's like the encyclopedia of dreams.
And you can literally look up anything you can think of. It could be like woodpecker.

(51:06):
What's a woodpecker mean?
And it's like, you go read what the meaning of it means.
And it's like, oh, you're having a difficult situation and you're stubborn,
but you're going to persevere because you keep attacking it and keep going at it, you know?
And the thing that always cracks me up about those books is they're written in such a sense,

(51:28):
to where it's laissez-faire with a light touch, meaning everything is written
in a generalization tone.
So you can look at it and be like, yeah, that makes sense.
But then you can also look at it and be like, no, this has nothing to do with what I dreamed.

(51:48):
So a lot of it I think comes down to with those types of books and stuff is what you potentially.
Want to find the brain is geared and made to where if you are looking for an answer to something,
and you start doing research and you find an answer it may not be the right

(52:09):
answer but it's an answer so you might latch on to it and be like okay this
is it this is the golden goose this is what I'm looking for,
well sometimes you know like when like say the
person that had the dream with the lion they were a very confident person and
very in control of their destiny and what they've done right so some of it does

(52:30):
fall along the lines of you know what actually the symbolic meaning so.
Now, there was one person that told me they had a dream with snakes in it.
So basically, I did some, you know, tuning on that.

(52:50):
And it's basically changing circumstances or opinions, basically shedding of their skin.
Additionally, given their historical link to sin and evil, these dreams can
also invite anxiety and negative mindset.
Now, this person was suffering from anxiety.
I didn't really get into understanding the shedding maybe they have to shed

(53:13):
their sins that's part of the anxiety the the anxiety part also which anxiety
can lead to depression which they were depressed too so so basically different
a lot of it different levels of psychological.
Burdens is what you're saying that could lead
to what you're discussing

(53:33):
is it yeah it's definitely definitely symbolic
i mean it's definitely like a symbolic thing but
you know like somebody was talking about they
seen a panther and and that created like basically
strength inner strength and so it's almost
like if you're dreaming about an animal and you
want to research what that animal means in your dream it's

(53:56):
it's basically a self-reflection a self-reflection
of yourself self so like when you were
talking about yeah so like if i see
a panther walk up and a black
you know like a black panther and you and you want to know hey what's what's
the black panther mean in the dream and you go to look it up and it actually

(54:18):
talks about strength and you're thinking about it and you're just like, okay.
Or if it means something like confusion and inner conflict.
But to be reminded to be bold with strength and power, that's where I got the
strength from, because I remember it had something to do with strength.

(54:41):
But it actually represents confusion and inner conflict. It calls for being
a reminder to be bold in strength and power.
So I have learned that, like, I had a person tell me they'd seen a Black Panther
in their dream, and they were always confused or had inner conflict on what
they should do about things.
And once you start reading this, they're actually dreaming about themselves,

(55:05):
and the animal form is basically them, like the part of them.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it's a subconscious level of a representation form of them, symbology speaking.
And so that's, from my viewpoint, that's what you're saying,

(55:26):
and that's how that comes to be.
Yeah, because it can mean, you know, Black Panther is very cool because it's
courage, valor, beauty, grace, challenge.
It's a courageous guardian blessed with ancient maternal lunar power.
Now we're talking lunar.
You know, you can get a few different definitions on the animals sake part of it.

(55:51):
But it's pretty interesting that people have these dreams about animals.
And then you go and you actually research them and you're like, oh, wow.
Well, you find out that that person, that they're basically, you know, that's them.
That's what they tell you when they talk to you.
They tell you what they're having a problem with. And that animal actually represents

(56:12):
their problem. But I've also had now this this is kind of weird.
I've also had people tell me that they've seen blood in their dream.
So. The spiritual meaning of blood in a dream means you need your inner strength to live.
So it's basically your sanctity.

(56:35):
It may mean trouble is lurking around. And this dream could also be pointing
at some spiritual attack on you.
Interesting so if you got somebody that's dreaming about
that has blood in their dream it doesn't necessarily mean
that somebody got shot or somebody died or
anything it just they see blood in their dream these are there's some of the

(56:56):
things that it could be representing one of the one of the dreams that we've
discussed that i have actually experienced myself was when i was a young teenager major.
And I don't know, I think I was 17, 16, 17. I had a dream.

(57:20):
Didn't think anything about it. Didn't make sense to me. Didn't think anything about it.
Two years later, I ended up having a meeting with an individual and we had to
go on a road trip and we were coming back.
This individual was wearing a green suit, and it was the strangest thing.

(57:48):
We were driving down the highway, and a song came on, and he's talking to me,
driving, and I'm in the passenger seat.
And automatically, a certain part of the song played.
Played and right when it played, I looked over to my left and I saw the radio

(58:10):
station of whatever it was, you know, the, the numbers, you know,
for instance, like one Oh 4.3 or something like that.
And when I saw that on the radio station, LCD screen, I saw a big green blur
to my left left out of my peripheral.

(58:30):
And then right after I saw that grid, the big green blur to my left,
I looked up to my top right out the window and I saw a road sign that says exit
here for this particular road.
Now, yeah, there's a lot of details on something that I'm being very vague about,
but point being is I had that dream two years prior before I even knew this individual.

(58:58):
And it was that exact scene.
It was being in a car, not being able to know who was next to me,
just being able to see the road in front of me, hearing a song,
looking to my left when I hit a certain part of the song, seeing the radio station,
seeing the green blur to my left.
And then I looked up to my right and I saw that road sign to exit and get off.

(59:22):
And it blew my mind away because when that happened later in life,
I went through the motions and I just did it all, which deja vu.
Well, yeah, well, yeah, deja vu.
But that goes hand in hand with a prophetic dream, you know,
an event or message or scenario of something that's foretelling.

(59:47):
And i've had
some other dreams similar like that
that never came true which was
a good thing but point being
is it was for foretelling something that was going to happen later in my life
now do i think or believe everybody has these type of dreams no do i have any

(01:00:11):
iota of thought or logic or reason why I had that particular dream?
No, I have no idea.
Because when you think about it logically, it showed me a future point in my
time of life of a small snippet.
It wasn't like it's showing me graduation day, walking out of college with my

(01:00:34):
diploma, or winning a soccer championship, Or,
you know, traveling somewhere, seeing the Grand Canyon or something momentous, you know?
It wasn't like, oh, wow, look at this, you know?
It was just so small and insignificant.

(01:00:58):
But that particular instance ended up becoming something momentous later in my life.
So for me personally speaking the prophetic
dream is one that i experienced and the
lucid dreaming i've also been able to do before it's not something that i can
do willy-nilly at you know random where i can just go to sleep and say oh i

(01:01:22):
want to do this and then boom then it's just like you know have fun it just
happens randomly i don't pick or choose it it just it is what it is,
I found I find it interesting you know because it's like okay well if you know
the capabilities there you think it would always be on but that's not the case.

(01:01:44):
One thing, when I did do studying about dreams and stuff,
one of the things I found very interesting, and I got this particular opinionated
methodology by reading multiple books and then seeing the similarities of the different authors,
they all established and stated that stated that if you want to dream about

(01:02:10):
something in particular is to enunciate it and think about it before you go to sleep.
So it's literally pre-programming yourself.
Kind of like for anybody that's old enough to remember a VCR back in the day,
you go ahead and program it to set what you want to record for your show. Well, the same thing.

(01:02:36):
And the only thing I can, you know, glimpse or gleam from it is,
is you are literally programming your subconscious to say, Hey,
this is what I want for the content for me to focus on when I go to sleep.
And then you go to sleep and see what happens. Usually nine times out of 10,
nobody remembers anything because people forget their dreams as soon as they wake up.

(01:03:00):
It's the way the brains work chemically most of the time yeah but you go to
the subconscious I mean basically I mean it's an emotional self state.
And it's usually associated with unconscious memories but you can also it could
be you were talking about storing which is along the lines that dreams may support

(01:03:24):
memory storage may help facilitate.
Brain to store important memories so you could also like you're doing right
now is talking about getting up in the morning and setting a vcr or whatever
i mean you could actually,
set your dream to be a reminder well right
that's and that and that exactly a better more eloquent way of stating that

(01:03:48):
is exactly what i was trying to convey in my analogy there is you're right pre
setting up your brain to have a subject or a process or a thought to focus on before you go to sleep.
So when you do go to sleep, that will be what the criteria or subject is you may be dreaming about.

(01:04:11):
So I, I, I just found that to be
interesting because it's like
when I started seeing the parallels of everybody's
opinions and and their different methodologies
and so forth i was like that's that's interesting because up
until that point i just knew dreams as oh something that happens randomly and

(01:04:32):
that's it so and it doesn't it doesn't really happen randomly no i mean it's
like there's a purpose there's a yeah there's a purpose that's why i said if
somebody like okay so So, to me,
you don't really hear somebody go, man, I dream every night. No.
It's like something's going on in their life, all of a sudden they have a dream.

(01:04:56):
And it could be one of those five dreams.
But when you talk about symbolic or symbolism, so, I mean, I have,
you know, now that I think of it, because I did some research on this a while back.
And when you've heard of people they're scared
to dream if they dream that you die they say that

(01:05:18):
you die in real life right that's not
that's not true so what i
have learned because i've dreamed that i died or that i was dying i've had a
few of those dreams and of course i'm still here so obviously that's not true
so what i found was that dreams about death may indicate a current struggle

(01:05:40):
with grief or a signal of significant life change.
Basically, if you're experiencing a goodbye or going through a breakup or leaving
a job or relocating, death in a dream may not actually be about dying.
Instead, it represents the change of a closing chapter or the end of life as you know it says today.

(01:06:07):
Scenario basically so so so basically if you're if you're changing your life
or you're going in another direction and you have a vision or a dream about
you dying you're not actually dying,
you're just basically closing a chapter in your life right it's it's symbol
being symbolized as a final plateau point of something that happened and a new

(01:06:33):
leaf starts is what you're getting at Yeah,
and you can become more spiritually enlightened,
or you simply want to better yourself as a person.
They say don't be disturbed by its morbid nature, because dreams about dying are actually positive.
It's a positive thing. Right. And it depends on your belief system.

(01:06:54):
And, you know, we don't really try to touch base on theology,
but whatever theology you lean towards.
And so I definitely understand that. Now, here's a zinger for you.
And you can answer this however you want. There's no constraints on it or no
particular thought process.
Do you think and or have ever known anybody ever to tell you that they have had a dream.

(01:07:24):
Of having an altercation or being
i don't want
to say the word but i can't think of
any other way to to put it out there of being assaulted
physically physiology speaking
you know like being grabbed or being

(01:07:44):
tugged on scratched anything like
that in a dream and then they wake up and there
is actual for lack of better words evidence or things that have materialized
physically that are 100% identical to what they dreamed yeah i've done an investigation

(01:08:07):
like that that this female she was,
and this and this became and this was definitely a
d word that basically now
it wasn't it's not the d word of what you see in movies like it was inside her
and it was writing on her stomach or something you know and you could see it

(01:08:28):
but what she did was she did have bruising of where,
this thing was actually pinning her or.
She, you know, she would dream about, so she'd basically have a dream about it, holding her down.
And then she'd wake up and have bruises on her wrists or arms where you can

(01:08:51):
see actually fingerprints.
Right. Now, the reason why I pose that question to you is this.
I was thinking back originally to, like you said, you know, if you pass away
in a dream, unfortunately it doesn't happen in real life.
And it got me thinking about the ramifications of dreaming something and it

(01:09:12):
materializing or exhibiting similar or identical traumatic evidence physically.
Basically so where i'm going with this is this i actually knew somebody that
used to have a reoccurring dream
about a individual that was not from the particular era or decade even of,

(01:09:41):
when this person was alive it was
somebody from 50 years prior
you could tell by the clothing everything but unfortunately
there was a incident where
the person had a dream and they were

(01:10:01):
being attacked and choked and so
forth and when they came to from being from this dream you know jumping up and
coughing and all that stuff and and going to turn on the light and see what
was going on, looking in the mirror.

(01:10:24):
Fingerprints all around the neck, bruises all around the upper part of the chest
and some scratch marks. And,
That in itself, I know there's been studies, and to play devil's advocate,
some people say, oh, it's just the individual doing it to themselves,

(01:10:46):
and the brain manifesting whatever it's doing in a dream, then they wake up.
But the other aspect of it is, is what indeed,
if that physically was happening to them on an energy level,
and then the results of it.
The body produced the physical aspect of it after the fact.

(01:11:13):
And it always makes
me think in the back of my mind if that can
happen in real life as we
know it of being manipulated messed with
touched scratch grabbed from
the spiritual side of the world making its

(01:11:33):
way transcending all the way to the physical side of the
world what else can potentially be done that we
don't know about yet you know the reason why
i did the long explanation and all
that because i wanted our listeners to hear
this real world example unfortunately this
happened to this person i knew and to

(01:11:55):
hear the sobering fact that from mine
and your experience dalton you know
from what we've personally experienced in investigations
and stuff we've seen this before and even.
Though we discussed all these
different types of dreams all these different methodologies

(01:12:16):
and psychologies and potential psychosis
of why and an explanation of everything there's always that chance if none of
that even matters and it could be something else on a paranormal level so And
it's something we don't, it's something we don't, I mean.

(01:12:36):
It's, I mean, you can consider some of that lucid dreaming.
But like I said, there's been investigations where, you know,
people have said they dreamed about certain things or they've dreamed that somebody
was chasing them and they, they fell.
And when they woke up, you know, that part of their body they fell on was hurting

(01:12:57):
or they had a small bruise or a mark there.
There well i know i know for a
fact me and you have done investigations and group
settings where we've assisted other individuals in settings
where there was multiple teams of other
organizations and we were all sharing information towards
the end or doing a big collaborative group effort and

(01:13:18):
so forth and right in front of
us we would see people manifest scratches and bruises and welts on their skin
unfortunately oh look at the look at the look at the girl in the you know at
ashley's restaurant you know when her arm turned red because she was feeling a burning sensation.

(01:13:40):
Yep i remember that you know it
yeah so it's it's it's those
kind of things i mean even she was awake yeah and
it happened fully fully conscious and awake i remember
that that particular scenario exactly it was an individual
never did a paranormal investigation before in
their life it was in a public so so if

(01:14:01):
the yeah so if the paranormal like say if if a spirit can actually produce that
while you're awake well then obviously right maybe it's a spiritual type thing
that's happening when you're dreaming right and that's why i made that connection
and statement earlier saying,
I firmly believe everything's connected by energy.

(01:14:23):
So it's like things can happen energy-wise and then physically it will produce results.
Yeah, I believe that because the whole universe is created with energy.
So the thing you got to think about though is you dreamed it so So guess who

(01:14:48):
was into Dreams, and this kind of made me fall along those lines.
Sermon Freud was into a lot of like studying on dreams and, you know,
because he was a neurologist, et cetera.
So his his basically where I'm going with that is that he thinks that dreams

(01:15:09):
are the fulfillment of wishes.
Now, I'm not saying that you dream that you fell off a building and you hurt
yourself and you wake up with a busted arm or something. then you're not wishing that.
But if he thinks that dreams are fulfillment of wishes, that's a form of manifesting something, right?
Would you agree to that? Potentially.

(01:15:31):
Okay, so for instance, back in 1895, Sigmund Freud had his own dream to form the basis of his theory.
He had been worried about a patient that he was dealing with.
Her name was Irma, and she wasn't doing that well.

(01:15:51):
And in treatment, he had hoped, in fact, pretty much blamed himself for her
problem and feeling guilty about it. Okay.
So what he did was when he, when later he went to sleep,
Freud dreamed that he met Irma at a party and examined her and then basically

(01:16:13):
saw a chemical formula for a drug that another doctor had given Irma basically
flashed before his eyes and realized her condition was caused by a dirty syringe.
So bacteria. Used by the other doctor. Yep. Right.
And so basically his guilt was thus relieved, his guilt, because so when he

(01:16:36):
interpreted this dream as a wish fulfillment, he had wished that Irma's poor
condition was not his fault.
And the dream had fulfilled this with by informing him it was another doctor's fault.
So based on this dream. Right. Right.
So basically this is what I'm saying.
He basically manifested that, that it wasn't his fault and come to find out it wasn't his fault.

(01:17:03):
But the other flip side of it is he put it out there,
what was going on and maybe something interacted and came back and said,
Hey, here's, here's the real answer and showed him and psychologically his brain and interpret it as,
oh, I just put a wish out there and gave me closure.

(01:17:26):
But in reality, something literally, like a prophetic dream was saying,
hey, here's how it is. We're gonna help you out.
There you go. Do what you will with it.
Well, and that, but that, but see that, you know, you hear people talk about it all the time.
They're like, don't put that in the universe, man. It'll come true. Yep.

(01:17:46):
That bad stuff out there. Yep.
Yeah. Like, don't, don't throw that out there. So, but he also,
I mean, he also mentioned about manifest and latent content,
content, basically distinguished between the manifest content of a dream.
What we remember upon waking and

(01:18:08):
the latent content the hidden the hidden psychological meaning
of the dream yeah so basically the manifest content is often a distorted version
of the width that the dreamer's mind tries to fulfill while the latent content
is the underlying wish itself that's like a so that's like a three-stage synopsis

(01:18:31):
there three different levels.
Well it is because if you're well you're talking about
the subconscious mind which is you know
basically the hardest part of your mind of control anyway yeah it
does what it wants to do it's grown i know
pretty much but if he was if he was thinking that you know basically upon his

(01:18:54):
studies of different people dreaming that you can manifest like you could wish
upon something and then it actually turns out to happen for you,
then maybe unconsciously, in your subconscious,
you're dreaming about falling off your bicycle, and you scraped your knee,
and you wake up, and you actually manifested a red spot or a bruise on your

(01:19:19):
knee where you had scraped your knee falling off your bike in the dream. Right.
I could definitely see that.
That so that's that's the thing about dreams
though is dreams to be like all over the
place yeah and that's the thing they they don't
have a secret area of what it's
going to follow or or what the subject matter

(01:19:41):
is going to be or if and when you may dream it's
completely at random out of
your own control and uh that's i think if
anything that's the unique thing about the dream is it's
it's kind of like a fortune cookie you don't know what you're going to get until
you get into it and see what it's about so well mr dalton it looks like that
