1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,849 [Music] 2 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:07,130 the plan is trusting masters almost 3 00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:10,170 surely have a plan this clearly maybe 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:12,900 something there beyond the realm of man 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:16,410 and it's already tested every last ghost 6 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:19,650 just you find the more you think you 7 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:35,489 know the less you do that's true without 8 00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:45,939 all right higher side shadows life is a 9 00:00:49,630 --> 00:00:47,809 strange and mysterious thing with the 10 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:49,640 collective brainpower of the planets 11 00:00:54,189 --> 00:00:51,890 people past and present really haven't 12 00:00:55,810 --> 00:00:54,199 gotten that far to figuring out is a 13 00:00:57,279 --> 00:00:55,820 consciousness controlled romp through 14 00:00:59,799 --> 00:00:57,289 the material plane for the sake of 15 00:01:02,109 --> 00:00:59,809 smelling roses and eatin chocolate is it 16 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:02,119 a virus unpacking itself and evolving 17 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:04,369 until it can build its own God or is it 18 00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:06,170 some cosmic school for self development 19 00:01:11,109 --> 00:01:08,270 where we swim up the spiritual river 20 00:01:13,570 --> 00:01:11,119 like salmon destined to spawn folks we 21 00:01:15,070 --> 00:01:13,580 have no idea but what we do know is that 22 00:01:17,460 --> 00:01:15,080 we spend about a third of our whole 23 00:01:19,690 --> 00:01:17,470 earthly experience and sleep mode 24 00:01:21,580 --> 00:01:19,700 unconscious unaware and ultimately 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:21,590 unleashed into a different experience 26 00:01:27,130 --> 00:01:24,770 altogether the dream time and while we 27 00:01:28,899 --> 00:01:27,140 must sleep and dream to live we dedicate 28 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:28,909 little time to understanding what might 29 00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:30,770 be the weirdest aspect of life when you 30 00:01:35,230 --> 00:01:33,140 get down to it our dreams really just 31 00:01:37,570 --> 00:01:35,240 screensavers four active minds while the 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:37,580 body recharges or should we be pulling 33 00:01:41,050 --> 00:01:39,530 out powerful meaning from the symbols 34 00:01:43,209 --> 00:01:41,060 and the messages delivered by a 35 00:01:45,940 --> 00:01:43,219 subconscious yearning to be acknowledged 36 00:01:48,010 --> 00:01:45,950 most of us have probably had times where 37 00:01:49,899 --> 00:01:48,020 a dream felt like more than just a dream 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:49,909 and with us to sort out this mess and 39 00:01:53,889 --> 00:01:51,770 better understand the signs and symbols 40 00:01:55,779 --> 00:01:53,899 of the dream state is the great decoder 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:55,789 himself JM debord 42 00:02:01,240 --> 00:01:58,850 JM is the author of Dreams one two three 43

sized studios 46 00:02:10,539 --> 00:02:08,239 the dream interpretation dictionary sign 47 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:10,549 symbols and meanings nearly four hundred 48 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:12,650 and fifty pages of alphabetically 49 00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:14,690 organized aspects that many people 50 00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:16,790 encounter in their dreams from aliens to 51 00:02:21,130 --> 00:02:18,320 zombies and everything in between 52 00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:21,140 he's also a frequent partaker and the 53 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:23,030 sacrament we call reddit where he is 54

get down to 57 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:33,260 it JM Debord welcome to the higher side 58 00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:36,170 Oh Greg it is a pleasure to be here 59 00:02:40,150 --> 00:02:38,510 thank you for having me yeah man 60 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:40,160 thanks for being here I did have a lot 61 00:02:44,590 --> 00:02:42,170 of fun with the dream interpretation 62 00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:44,600 dictionary I think a lot of people feel 63 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:46,760 like there is some meaning in what they 64 00:02:51,059 --> 00:02:49,609 dream but very little in our waking life 65 00:02:53,429 --> 00:02:51,069 really provides us with this 66 00:02:56,190 --> 00:02:53,439 skills to decode them unless we really 67 00:02:57,839 --> 00:02:56,200 dedicate some effort on our own and so 68 00:03:00,030 --> 00:02:57,849 I'm curious how this kind of became your 69 00:03:02,489 --> 00:03:00,040 thing obviously others have tried to 70 00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:02,499 wear the crown but what got you into 71 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:04,180 dream interpretation and what makes your 72 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:06,370 approach different or maybe even more 73 00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:08,370 accurate than what's already out there 74 00:03:14,099 --> 00:03:10,930 well you know in your introduction you 75 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:14,109 talked about how we are looking we know 76 00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:17,530 that life is more than just this 77 00:03:22,319 --> 00:03:19,750 biological matter that is spinning 78 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:22,329 through space and you know that there is 79 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:24,370 something more to all of this and that 80 00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:26,889 our dreams seem to provide a portal to 81 00:03:32,849 --> 00:03:30,310 it except dreams can appear to be very 82 00:03:34,770 --> 00:03:32,859 disconnected from your everyday reality 83 00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:34,780 you know you have a dream about being 84 00:03:38,490 --> 00:03:36,760 back in high school but that was 20 85 00:03:40,349 --> 00:03:38,500 years ago when you graduated and you're 86 00:03:42,059 --> 00:03:40,359 standing there and you know it's this 87 00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:42,069 teacher you don't know when your pants 88 00:03:44,939 --> 00:03:43,780 are down around your ankles and people 89 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:44,949 are laughing at you and you're going 90 00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:46,930 wait wait I'm not in high school anymore 91 00:03:50,429 --> 00:03:49,180 why would I dream about this well if you 92 00:03:53,339 --> 00:03:50,439 break it down there's some kind of 93 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:53,349 meaning behind it so I started off I 94 00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:55,840 really was I've always been interested 95 00:04:00,960 --> 00:03:58,840 in exploring the mind especially the 96 00:04:03,119 --> 00:04:00,970 parts of it that were not very aware of 97 00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:03,129 you I call it the subconscious or the 98 00:04:09,780 --> 00:04:06,310 unconscious you know most of our mind is 99 00:04:12,509 --> 00:04:09,790 beyond our awareness 95 to 99 percent of 100 00:04:14,729 --> 00:04:12,519 the mind is unconscious so that means 101 00:04:17,069 --> 00:04:14,739 this little tip of the iceberg that we 102 00:04:20,219 --> 00:04:17,079 know as our as our conscious mind as our 103 00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:20,229 ego or as ourselves is just this very 104 00:04:24,029 --> 00:04:22,449 small part of the big picture so of 105 00:04:26,159 --> 00:04:24,039 course I've always been interested in 106 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:26,169 anything that can tell me more about how 107 00:04:30,629 --> 00:04:28,210 we tick and how we really work inside of 108 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:30,639 ourselves but Greg there's another part 109 00:04:36,659 --> 00:04:34,000 of it which was when I was in my mid-20s 110 00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:36,669 I was looking for answers it was sort of 111 00:04:42,089 --> 00:04:39,520 a classic situation where I you know I'm 112 00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:42,099 hitting a wall in my life and I'm 113 00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:44,500 looking and I'm not finding what I'm 114 00:04:48,749 --> 00:04:46,270 looking for you know in a very 115 00:04:51,659 --> 00:04:48,759 synchronous experience a neighbor friend 116 00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:51,669 of mine showed me chapters from a book 117 00:04:55,529 --> 00:04:53,680 printed off of a computer this is back 118 00:04:57,029 --> 00:04:55,539 in mid 90s oh you couldn't just like you 119 00:05:00,450 --> 00:04:57,039 know hop on the Amazon and grab your 120 00:05:02,370 --> 00:05:00,460 favorite book right so I found this guy 121 00:05:04,410 --> 00:05:02,380 this writer his name was Larry Pesavento 122 00:05:05,970 --> 00:05:04,420 and I was reading the 123 00:05:08,130 --> 00:05:05,980 chapters of his book that he was passing 124 00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:08,140 around among friends and he referred to 125 00:05:13,650 --> 00:05:10,660 dreams and he referred to a guy named 126 00:05:16,620 --> 00:05:13,660 dr. Carl Jung the Swiss psychiatrist and 127 00:05:18,780 --> 00:05:16,630 anyone who delves into the mystic and 128 00:05:20,700 --> 00:05:18,790 the unknown is going to run across Carl 129 00:05:23,490 --> 00:05:20,710 Jung at some point because he is our 130 00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:23,500 captain he is the one who explored those 131 00:05:29,490 --> 00:05:26,290 depths and I caught on to Jung and it 132 00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:29,500 was just like something lit a fire in my 133 00:05:34,620 --> 00:05:31,780 mind I found somebody who could take 134 00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:34,630 these things that were batting around in 135 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:37,120 my head that were related to the psyche 136 00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:40,090 and spirituality and religion and God 137 00:05:45,030 --> 00:05:43,360 and experience and soul and all of that 138 00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:45,040 and put it into the language of 139 00:05:50,670 --> 00:05:48,280 psychiatry and it just resonated with me 140 00:05:53,670 --> 00:05:50,680 very deeply so I started a very deep 141 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:53,680 exploration and I found it in through my 142 00:05:57,630 --> 00:05:55,450 dreams that I was gaining the answers 143 00:06:01,220 --> 00:05:57,640 and the insights that I needed and then 144 00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:01,230 I started going public with it first 145 00:06:06,270 --> 00:06:03,790 among friends and stuff but just sort of 146 00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:06,280 helping them with their dreams I met my 147 00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:08,950 wife Lisa and she was in a transition in 148 00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:11,440 her life about ten years ago and I 149 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:13,390 helped her understand the dreams that 150 00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:14,530 she was having and how they were 151 00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:16,270 connecting with her life and I want wow 152 00:06:20,580 --> 00:06:18,310 you know I think I really am on to 153 00:06:23,730 --> 00:06:20,590 something here so then I dropped by 154 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,740 reddit yes our our friend reddit swear 155 00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:25,360 you know we explore many different 156 00:06:29,010 --> 00:06:27,310 subjects and there is a dreams forum 157 00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:29,020 there and I just started talking to 158 00:06:33,030 --> 00:06:30,820 people about their dreams that I wasn't 159 00:06:35,220 --> 00:06:33,040 presenting myself as an expert or as an 160 00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:35,230 interpreter just somebody who had really 161 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:37,150 delved into the subject and had a real 162 00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:38,650 deep personal interest and fascination 163 00:06:44,940 --> 00:06:42,070 with it so from there I got great 164 00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:44,950 feedback from people and I decided I 165 00:06:49,740 --> 00:06:47,110 needed to bottle the magic so I wrote 166 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:49,750 Dreams one two three and that opened up 167 00:06:53,370 --> 00:06:51,130 the door into the publishing industry 168 00:06:56,220 --> 00:06:53,380 which had been closed to me I had tried 169 00:06:59,280 --> 00:06:56,230 I worked in journalism and I worked in 170 00:07:00,990 --> 00:06:59,290 various media television and radio and I 171 00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:01,000 had tried to find an agent I wrote a 172 00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:02,800 novel I had these great ideas about 173 00:07:07,140 --> 00:07:05,320 being an author and you know writing 174 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:07,150 books it really changed people's lives 175 00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:08,890 and opened their minds and all this 176 00:07:14,850 --> 00:07:11,140 before those doors were closed and when 177 00:07:16,620 --> 00:07:14,860 I came to my agent with the idea for a 178 00:07:18,190 --> 00:07:16,630 book about dreams she wasn't even my 179 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:18,200 agent at the time 180 00:07:22,630 --> 00:07:20,450 she read my proposal in two weeks I kid 181 00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:22,640 you not after two weeks after she signed 182 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:25,100 me I had my publishing contract so it's 183 00:07:29,110 --> 00:07:26,810 really it's been a heck of a journey 184 00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,120 since then I have gone really deep with 185 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:30,800 this subject and I find that I have a 186 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:32,450 way of explaining it to people that 187 00:07:37,660 --> 00:07:35,210 strips out the jargon and and some of 188 00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:37,670 the academic talk and it really puts it 189 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:40,040 in terms of understanding your dreams as 190 00:07:44,140 --> 00:07:42,410 stories about yourself in your life with 191 00:07:46,630 --> 00:07:44,150 the purpose of helping you to learn and 192 00:07:49,660 --> 00:07:46,640 grow that is the bottom line right there 193 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:49,670 and if you start there then everything 194 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:51,650 builds on top of that into this 195 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:53,810 structure in your mind that can help you 196 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:56,090 to analyze and understand your dreams so 197 00:07:59,800 --> 00:07:58,010 that kind of makes a short story long 198 00:08:03,220 --> 00:07:59,810 Greg but that's how I got in the dream 199 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:03,230 interpretation oh I love it can't argue 200 00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:05,090 with that it is nice when you find your 201 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:08,150 wheelhouse isn't it so if we wanted to 202 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:11,090 maybe lay a nice space in regards to 203 00:08:15,730 --> 00:08:13,610 sleep and dreaming from a scientific 204 00:08:17,980 --> 00:08:15,740 perspective what can you tell us what do 205 00:08:18,670 --> 00:08:17,990 you think is really happening there why 206 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:18,680 do we do it 207 00:08:22,900 --> 00:08:21,290 well the first thing to understand and I 208 00:08:25,150 --> 00:08:22,910 go over this in my book the dream 209 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:25,160 interpretation dictionary is you need to 210 00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:27,050 understand the reasons why you dream 211 00:08:32,170 --> 00:08:30,110 there are biological there are mental 212 00:08:34,690 --> 00:08:32,180 there are physical reasons there are 213 00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:34,700 spiritual reasons emotional reasons and 214 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:37,550 the bottom line really which is agreed 215 00:08:41,290 --> 00:08:39,050 upon from all the different disciplines 216 00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:41,300 that have looked at dreaming is that you 217 00:08:46,510 --> 00:08:43,880 dream to process and collate your 218 00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:46,520 memories you're taking the experiences 219 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:48,470 that you've had since the last time that 220 00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:50,810 you slept and you're processing them 221 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:53,600 more deeply into your being into your 222 00:08:57,370 --> 00:08:55,970 psyche so all of those memories are 223 00:08:59,380 --> 00:08:57,380 there they're stored in short-term 224 00:09:02,080 --> 00:08:59,390 memory and when you go to sleep and your 225 00:09:04,660 --> 00:09:02,090 dream your mind is figuring out where 226 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:04,670 this new experience these new memories 227 00:09:11,230 --> 00:09:07,130 where does it fit into who and what you 228 00:09:13,210 --> 00:09:11,240 are so that's first the second thing 229 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:13,220 that they do is they help to get into 230 00:09:19,180 --> 00:09:16,370 your emotions they delve down in there 231 00:09:21,190 --> 00:09:19,190 they trigger emotions they remind you of 232 00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:21,200 what you felt they help you to more 233 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:24,140 deeply process those emotions in some 234 00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:26,810 ways what dreams are doing is just 235 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:29,690 clearing out the memory banks in the 236 00:09:34,110 --> 00:09:32,050 emotional storage banks 237 00:09:36,210 --> 00:09:34,120 they are helping you to recharge you 238 00:09:37,889 --> 00:09:36,220 have to get some of that released out of 239 00:09:40,139 --> 00:09:37,899 you so that you can wake up the next day 240 00:09:42,420 --> 00:09:40,149 and go okay I'm ready to take on the 241 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:42,430 world again I mean imagine if you woke 242 00:09:46,620 --> 00:09:44,529 up and you felt the same way as when you 243 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:46,630 went to sleep imagine if all of the 244 00:09:50,670 --> 00:09:48,370 emotion and feeling and thoughts and 245 00:09:52,590 --> 00:09:50,680 everything else was still there and you 246 00:09:54,690 --> 00:09:52,600 just continue adding on to it and then 247 00:09:56,759 --> 00:09:54,700 the next day you wake up and you add on 248 00:09:58,259 --> 00:09:56,769 to that they would get to a point where 249 00:09:59,699 --> 00:09:58,269 I think that most people would not be 250 00:10:01,889 --> 00:09:59,709 able to handle it anymore 251 00:10:04,019 --> 00:10:01,899 it would just be head explode you know 252 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:04,029 there's too much so your dreams are 253 00:10:08,370 --> 00:10:05,649 really helping you to process this 254 00:10:11,550 --> 00:10:08,380 day-to-day activity and helping you a to 255 00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:11,560 release it and B to figure out how it 256 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:13,870 fits into you to sort of in collate it 257 00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:15,730 sort of like what a computer does when 258 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:18,160 it processes information more deeply 259 00:10:23,610 --> 00:10:21,010 into its circuitry and it's chips and 260 00:10:25,710 --> 00:10:23,620 it's hard drive and stuff like that then 261 00:10:28,410 --> 00:10:25,720 there's a deeper layer call it the 262 00:10:31,650 --> 00:10:28,420 spirit layer there is this thing inside 263 00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:31,660 of you that is wanting to have more 264 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:33,790 meaning in satisfaction and fulfillment 265 00:10:39,630 --> 00:10:36,970 from your life and it often gets 266 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:39,640 overlooked or neglected sometimes we're 267 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:41,680 just too busy to pay much attention to 268 00:10:47,670 --> 00:10:44,050 the side of ourselves that is trying to 269 00:10:50,130 --> 00:10:47,680 find expression it wants to live you 270 00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:50,140 know to be or not to be that is the 271 00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:52,870 question it's you know how much life are 272 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:55,000 you going to grab out of this experience 273 00:11:00,180 --> 00:10:57,010 how much are you going to engage and 274 00:11:02,699 --> 00:11:00,190 dive down into this experience dreams 275 00:11:04,740 --> 00:11:02,709 are your facilitator for that they help 276 00:11:06,930 --> 00:11:04,750 you to understand what's really going on 277 00:11:08,910 --> 00:11:06,940 underneath the surface they help to 278 00:11:12,269 --> 00:11:08,920 bring things forward so that you don't 279 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:12,279 overlook them they want you to connect 280 00:11:17,250 --> 00:11:14,890 very deeply inside of yourself and also 281 00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:17,260 with the world and the people who are in 282 00:11:22,710 --> 00:11:20,350 it so your dreams are helping you on a 283 00:11:24,930 --> 00:11:22,720 nightly basis or whatever you sleep it 284 00:11:26,970 --> 00:11:24,940 could be a daily basis they're helping 285 00:11:29,939 --> 00:11:26,980 you they're trying to get you to learn 286 00:11:32,610 --> 00:11:29,949 and to grow to engage with your life to 287 00:11:35,610 --> 00:11:32,620 find more meaning and fulfillment and 288 00:11:37,019 --> 00:11:35,620 satisfaction from it it can go deeper 289 00:11:38,670 --> 00:11:37,029 than that Gregg and I'm sure that in the 290 00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:38,680 rest of our talk here that we'll delve 291 00:11:43,500 --> 00:11:40,870 into some of the the psychic side of 292 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:43,510 dreams dreams about finding soulmates 293 00:11:48,330 --> 00:11:45,610 and the love of your life and dreams 294 00:11:50,070 --> 00:11:48,340 being abducted by aliens and we'll get 295 00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:50,080 into the symbolism and all that but for 296 00:11:55,290 --> 00:11:52,510 now I think the bottom line is you dream 297 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:55,300 to learn and to grow it helps you to be 298 00:12:00,420 --> 00:11:57,610 able to handle your daily life better 299 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:00,430 and it helps you to find that deep 300 00:12:05,010 --> 00:12:03,010 person that's inside of yourself hmm 301 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:05,020 yeah man I think that makes a lot of 302 00:12:09,330 --> 00:12:06,850 sense and kind of like you said I think 303 00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:09,340 dreaming to me is like a baked-in 304 00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:11,260 mechanism to entice us to further 305 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:12,940 explore the mysteries of life in 306 00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:15,040 consciousness because the authoritarian 307 00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:16,870 system you know it can reduce this down 308 00:12:21,060 --> 00:12:19,030 to joyless worker drones who are overly 309 00:12:22,950 --> 00:12:21,070 obsessed with artificial distractions 310 00:12:25,140 --> 00:12:22,960 like debt and sports they can leave 311 00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:25,150 meditation and spiritual development out 312 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:27,790 of our entire education and try to ban 313 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:30,850 entheogenic exploration but from slaves 314 00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:33,130 right on up to Kings you can bet that 315 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:34,390 they're going to be going into a trance 316 00:12:37,470 --> 00:12:36,010 state when the Sun doesn't shine and 317 00:12:39,690 --> 00:12:37,480 that is a hell of a thing to take for 318 00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:39,700 granted really boy you know it's kind of 319 00:12:45,270 --> 00:12:43,000 like everybody dreams and everybody pays 320 00:12:46,740 --> 00:12:45,280 taxes well you know most everybody does 321 00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:46,750 and you know there are a few things 322 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:48,310 basically the point is that there are a 323 00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:50,170 few things in life that are common to 324 00:12:55,740 --> 00:12:53,440 all of us I find as a moderator at 325 00:12:58,530 --> 00:12:55,750 reddit you know I'm reading sometimes as 326 00:13:00,870 --> 00:12:58,540 many as a couple of dozen dream reports 327 00:13:03,810 --> 00:13:00,880 per day that's the the good days when I 328 00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:03,820 really have time to devote there and I 329 00:13:10,410 --> 00:13:07,510 get a very good feel for what people are 330 00:13:12,510 --> 00:13:10,420 dreaming right now and why and you 331 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:12,520 mentioned that feeling of sort of just 332 00:13:19,650 --> 00:13:15,610 being a worker drone who's going through 333 00:13:23,610 --> 00:13:19,660 life without finding anything deeper to 334 00:13:26,130 --> 00:13:23,620 it and in my experience as a moderator 335 00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:26,140 as a dream interpreter and just as a 336 00:13:32,610 --> 00:13:29,680 dreamer I find that dreams are really 337 00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:32,620 focusing in on that aspect of life they 338 00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:35,830 want you to find something deeper for 339 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:38,620 yourself if you need to disconnect from 340 00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:41,170 the rat race your dreams will show you 341 00:13:45,780 --> 00:13:43,390 how to do it it may not be able to 342 00:13:48,150 --> 00:13:45,790 happen immediately but they will guide 343 00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:48,160 you towards finding that thing in your 344 00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:50,950 life that's going to help you to get 345 00:13:55,410 --> 00:13:53,320 more out of it and if that means no 346 00:13:59,280 --> 00:13:55,420 longer being a worker drone that's fine 347 00:14:01,350 --> 00:13:59,290 you know some people are happy with that 348 00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:01,360 their work is only to get a paycheck and 349 00:14:05,370 --> 00:14:03,310 benefit so that they can raise a family 350 00:14:07,860 --> 00:14:05,380 or whatever it is that they want to do 351 00:14:09,449 --> 00:14:07,870 outside of work so they don't always 352 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:09,459 have to have work that's the most 353 00:14:13,650 --> 00:14:11,410 creative or the most fulfilling it's 354 00:14:16,170 --> 00:14:13,660 just you know steady and dependable is 355 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:16,180 really what they're looking for but if 356 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:18,370 you do want more from life if you do 357 00:14:22,889 --> 00:14:20,649 want to be a more creative person if you 358 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:22,899 want to be a more spiritual person your 359 00:14:28,139 --> 00:14:25,360 dreams will be glad to guide you in that 360 00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:28,149 endeavor the unconscious mind is always 361 00:14:35,389 --> 00:14:31,720 in the background reviewing what you as 362 00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:35,399 an ego or conscious mind what you are 363 00:14:40,590 --> 00:14:38,649 doing what you are thinking what your 364 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:40,600 desires are what your goals and 365 00:14:45,689 --> 00:14:43,690 ambitions are so when you hit upon 366 00:14:48,180 --> 00:14:45,699 something that the unconscious mind 367 00:14:49,620 --> 00:14:48,190 agrees with when you'd make a decision 368 00:14:52,110 --> 00:14:49,630 that you're going to do something like 369 00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:52,120 let's say you decide I'm going to make 370 00:14:58,199 --> 00:14:55,209 time to meditate because I want to find 371 00:15:00,509 --> 00:14:58,209 that deep inner center of my being I 372 00:15:02,129 --> 00:15:00,519 want to find that calm in that peace 373 00:15:04,259 --> 00:15:02,139 well that is something that your 374 00:15:07,050 --> 00:15:04,269 unconscious mind can really agree with 375 00:15:08,730 --> 00:15:07,060 you know it can say okay I'm going to 376 00:15:11,129 --> 00:15:08,740 facilitate this I'm going to help you 377 00:15:13,290 --> 00:15:11,139 with that goal together we are going to 378 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:13,300 march forward towards this and when you 379 00:15:17,939 --> 00:15:15,250 have both sides of the mind working 380 00:15:19,769 --> 00:15:17,949 together you can really get to that goal 381 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:19,779 I listen to your interview with Bruce 382 00:15:24,509 --> 00:15:21,730 Lipton and he talks about this too that 383 00:15:26,309 --> 00:15:24,519 you can decide something consciously you 384 00:15:28,199 --> 00:15:26,319 can say that you believe something you 385 00:15:30,449 --> 00:15:28,209 can have the power of positive thinking 386 00:15:33,210 --> 00:15:30,459 or whatever but if it's not resonating 387 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:33,220 with the other side of your mind if the 388 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:34,690 two sides of your mind are not an 389 00:15:37,710 --> 00:15:36,130 ingredient well now they're going to 390 00:15:39,930 --> 00:15:37,720 pull in different directions and it's 391 00:15:41,699 --> 00:15:39,940 just going to become this big energy 392 00:15:43,199 --> 00:15:41,709 vacuum it's going to suck it into that 393 00:15:44,579 --> 00:15:43,209 black hole and you're not going to get 394 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:44,589 to that place where you're trying to get 395 00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:47,410 to when the two sides of the mind agree 396 00:15:51,750 --> 00:15:49,630 and dreams are a great way of helping 397 00:15:53,429 --> 00:15:51,760 you to hash these things out between the 398 00:15:56,910 --> 00:15:53,439 two sides of the mind and come to 399 00:16:00,090 --> 00:15:56,920 agreement well when that happens you are 400 00:16:02,910 --> 00:16:00,100 able to more easily manifest the things 401 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:02,920 in your life that you can imagine for 402 00:16:08,009 --> 00:16:04,810 yourself and that you desire and that 403 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:08,019 your heart wants mmm those are great 404 00:16:12,690 --> 00:16:10,930 points and you know dreams can be so 405 00:16:15,390 --> 00:16:12,700 surreal an obvious 406 00:16:18,210 --> 00:16:15,400 not all dreams are created equal how can 407 00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:18,220 we determine if and where there is 408 00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:20,350 meaning and you know which types of 409 00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:23,350 dreams or symbols to prioritize when 410 00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:24,660 we're trying to look for that meaning 411 00:16:30,540 --> 00:16:27,430 great question I get asked this a lot 412 00:16:32,550 --> 00:16:30,550 and so I want to delve into this because 413 00:16:34,140 --> 00:16:32,560 your audience needs to know your 414 00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:34,150 listeners they need to know the answer 415 00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:36,400 to this question because you know you 416 00:16:42,570 --> 00:16:39,550 can dream in REM stage sleep for up to 417 00:16:45,450 --> 00:16:42,580 25% of the time while you are asleep 418 00:16:47,730 --> 00:16:45,460 that means 25% of the time you are in a 419 00:16:50,010 --> 00:16:47,740 stage of sleep that involves intense and 420 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:50,020 vivid dreaming if you sleep for eight 421 00:16:54,990 --> 00:16:53,050 hours that is two hours of dream 422 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:55,000 material that you can potentially wake 423 00:16:59,940 --> 00:16:57,850 up with and it's all going to be calling 424 00:17:02,130 --> 00:16:59,950 out to you to do something with it well 425 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:02,140 fortunately a lot of that processing 426 00:17:07,050 --> 00:17:05,170 happens subconsciously and you already 427 00:17:09,990 --> 00:17:07,060 know the meaning of your dreams because 428 00:17:11,940 --> 00:17:10,000 they are invented deep in your mind it's 429 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:11,950 just it's a part of your mind that most 430 00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:14,170 people are kind of disconnected from so 431 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:16,750 it seems like their dreams kind of come 432 00:17:20,190 --> 00:17:18,250 out of nowhere and that they are 433 00:17:22,590 --> 00:17:20,200 meaningless a lot of people come away 434 00:17:24,540 --> 00:17:22,600 with this studies have shown that more 435 00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:24,550 than half of people wake up with little 436 00:17:29,070 --> 00:17:26,830 to no memory of their dreams and I 437 00:17:31,020 --> 00:17:29,080 haven't seen the latest numbers but I 438 00:17:33,450 --> 00:17:31,030 can tell you that around the same amount 439 00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:33,460 of the population thinks that dreams are 440 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:34,150 meaningless 441 00:17:39,450 --> 00:17:36,970 it's just praying farts you know it's 442 00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:39,460 just this biological process that's 443 00:17:44,790 --> 00:17:42,070 going on that's producing imagery and 444 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:44,800 the brain is taking that imagery and 445 00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:46,930 trying to weave it together into some 446 00:17:51,270 --> 00:17:48,790 kind of meaning because the brain has a 447 00:17:54,930 --> 00:17:51,280 proclivity for trying to find meaning 448 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:54,940 and pattern in everything well here's 449 00:18:00,360 --> 00:17:57,280 the secret sauce for you great some 450 00:18:01,110 --> 00:18:00,370 dreams are meaningless they are just the 451 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:01,120 warmup 452 00:18:06,420 --> 00:18:03,490 they are your mind that starts producing 453 00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:06,430 imagery and oftentimes it's very basic 454 00:18:10,740 --> 00:18:08,800 sort of patterned imagery or memories 455 00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:10,750 from the day like let's say that you're 456 00:18:15,420 --> 00:18:12,640 a trucker you spend all day on the 457 00:18:17,790 --> 00:18:15,430 highway you get to your hotel or to your 458 00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:17,800 home you plop down in your bed you start 459 00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:20,110 to dream and dream in the sense of 460 00:18:23,820 --> 00:18:21,910 there's just imagery behind your eyes 461 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:23,830 you're going to dream about the highway 462 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:25,810 you know you're going to dream about 463 00:18:28,170 --> 00:18:26,650 what you would do 464 00:18:30,330 --> 00:18:28,180 during the day it's just going to be 465 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:30,340 sort of a review of this but without 466 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:32,410 even a meaningfulness to it it's just 467 00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:34,690 more like let's clear out these 468 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:36,670 short-term memory banks we're going to 469 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:39,010 just fit all this stuff out and your 470 00:18:44,430 --> 00:18:41,650 dreams will provide a view into what is 471 00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:44,440 basically a neurological or mental 472 00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:47,110 process now as the night goes on and 473 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:49,870 your body first gets the rest that it 474 00:18:55,799 --> 00:18:52,690 needs your REM stages will grow longer 475 00:18:58,380 --> 00:18:55,809 first you have these long stages of deep 476 00:19:00,480 --> 00:18:58,390 sleep it's just deep dead sleep you 477 00:19:02,370 --> 00:19:00,490 might have some imagery behind your eyes 478 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:02,380 but it's not going to be beaming 'full 479 00:19:07,890 --> 00:19:05,170 when it gets meaningful is when that 480 00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:07,900 imagery forms into stories 481 00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:11,470 bottom line right there boom stories and 482 00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:14,350 when the stories engage you when they 483 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:16,750 get interesting and your mind and your 484 00:19:21,390 --> 00:19:19,330 feelings that when it engages with these 485 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:21,400 stories that's when you know that you're 486 00:19:27,060 --> 00:19:24,210 getting to the meaningful contents the 487 00:19:28,770 --> 00:19:27,070 symbols in the dreams the dreams take 488 00:19:31,350 --> 00:19:28,780 your memories they turn them into 489 00:19:33,810 --> 00:19:31,360 symbols and then the symbols turn into 490 00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:33,820 stories when the stories get really 491 00:19:38,790 --> 00:19:36,520 interesting that is when you engage the 492 00:19:40,830 --> 00:19:38,800 most with them and then when you engage 493 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:40,840 the most with them those tend to be the 494 00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:43,330 dreams that are also the most memorable 495 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:45,790 so you wake up in the morning and what 496 00:19:49,290 --> 00:19:47,530 you are left with if you are like most 497 00:19:51,030 --> 00:19:49,300 people who spend at least a little bit 498 00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:51,040 of time with your dreams you can 499 00:19:56,490 --> 00:19:53,200 remember maybe five to ten minutes of 500 00:19:58,980 --> 00:19:56,500 contents that five to ten minutes is the 501 00:20:02,490 --> 00:19:58,990 most important information that you need 502 00:20:05,010 --> 00:20:02,500 to draw out of dreamland and pull into 503 00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:05,020 your waking life and do some deeper 504 00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:07,150 thinking on it sometimes it doesn't even 505 00:20:11,970 --> 00:20:09,580 necessarily have to be analyzed just 506 00:20:15,060 --> 00:20:11,980 look at the dream as a story that's what 507 00:20:17,100 --> 00:20:15,070 it is we can all analyze stories you 508 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:17,110 don't have to have a PhD you don't have 509 00:20:21,660 --> 00:20:19,690 to wear the guru robes anyone can 510 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:21,670 understand the story every day of our 511 00:20:26,070 --> 00:20:22,330 lives 512 00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:26,080 we are taking in stories and every day 513 00:20:31,110 --> 00:20:29,080 we are creating stories especially the 514 00:20:33,150 --> 00:20:31,120 narratives of our lives we take our 515 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:33,160 lives and we turn into a narrative a 516 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:35,890 narrative as a story so when that 517 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:39,010 happens you have this base of knowledge 518 00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:40,480 inside of you about how 519 00:20:45,990 --> 00:20:42,760 Dory's work and that knowledge can be 520 00:20:47,789 --> 00:20:46,000 used to tell you how dreams work so the 521 00:20:49,860 --> 00:20:47,799 most meaningful dreams are the ones that 522 00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:49,870 stand out they're the most memorable and 523 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:51,760 they're the most story like and they're 524 00:20:56,430 --> 00:20:54,640 the most engaging to you you can pull 525 00:20:58,770 --> 00:20:56,440 out five or ten minutes of the most 526 00:21:01,650 --> 00:20:58,780 meaningful content and really focus on 527 00:21:03,570 --> 00:21:01,660 that the rest of it well you know if 528 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:03,580 there's something that's important there 529 00:21:07,169 --> 00:21:05,410 and you either don't remember it or 530 00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:07,179 you're unable to understand or analyze 531 00:21:12,299 --> 00:21:10,480 it it'll come back this is one of the 532 00:21:14,730 --> 00:21:12,309 things that I teach in my workshops in 533 00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:14,740 my lectures a lot of people who come to 534 00:21:21,150 --> 00:21:17,710 them are new to dream work and they ask 535 00:21:23,669 --> 00:21:21,160 me what should I focus on and I say the 536 00:21:25,500 --> 00:21:23,679 recurring themes and imagery from your 537 00:21:27,390 --> 00:21:25,510 dreams we all have recurring dreams 538 00:21:30,180 --> 00:21:27,400 there are different types of them and I 539 00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:30,190 explain the difference in my book but 540 00:21:35,010 --> 00:21:33,130 you have the recurring dreams are what I 541 00:21:37,289 --> 00:21:35,020 call the lowest hanging fruit on the 542 00:21:39,330 --> 00:21:37,299 tree it's the easiest to reach out and 543 00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:39,340 grab hold of and pull close to yourself 544 00:21:44,789 --> 00:21:41,919 and then to analyze it and understand it 545 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:44,799 I'll give you a quick example I have 546 00:21:48,330 --> 00:21:46,690 recurring dreams about working in a 547 00:21:50,549 --> 00:21:48,340 restaurant as a waiter I did this for 548 00:21:52,919 --> 00:21:50,559 years and you know the younger part of 549 00:21:55,860 --> 00:21:52,929 my life and I haven't done it in years 550 00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:55,870 but I still dream about it on a almost 551 00:22:01,580 --> 00:21:58,720 nightly basis there will be some dream 552 00:22:04,380 --> 00:22:01,590 in there where I am in a restaurant and 553 00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:04,390 most the time of those dreams that stand 554 00:22:11,610 --> 00:22:09,190 out to me are the ones where I am I look 555 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:11,620 out at my station at waiter stations all 556 00:22:17,130 --> 00:22:13,090 the tables that you're responsible for 557 00:22:18,990 --> 00:22:17,140 and I've gone from no one to packed this 558 00:22:21,810 --> 00:22:19,000 is the waiters nightmare by the way is 559 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:21,820 that suddenly having too much to do you 560 00:22:25,890 --> 00:22:23,890 want to have like a nice flow of work 561 00:22:27,390 --> 00:22:25,900 coming to you so that you can handle it 562 00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:27,400 all and you can you know give everybody 563 00:22:30,990 --> 00:22:29,110 the experience they're looking for and 564 00:22:33,090 --> 00:22:31,000 you make good tips off of it right it's 565 00:22:35,010 --> 00:22:33,100 when you get overwhelmed is when 566 00:22:37,140 --> 00:22:35,020 everything starts to fall apart and when 567 00:22:39,450 --> 00:22:37,150 you start having that very heavy stress 568 00:22:41,190 --> 00:22:39,460 from the job in my dreams this is what 569 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:41,200 happens over and over again I go from 570 00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:43,330 zero to a thousand miles an hour and a 571 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:45,640 heartbeat and I'm going how am I going 572 00:22:50,430 --> 00:22:47,890 to do all of this well this is what I 573 00:22:53,250 --> 00:22:50,440 figured out from analyzing these dreams 574 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:53,260 is that theme connects in with the idea 575 00:22:57,670 --> 00:22:54,650 of having to 576 00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:57,680 much to do in my waking life I have too 577 00:23:02,740 --> 00:22:59,360 much to do I have too much that's 578 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:02,750 competing for my attention that is what 579 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:04,730 all of those people who are in my dream 580 00:23:07,390 --> 00:23:06,170 and they're sitting at tables and 581 00:23:09,070 --> 00:23:07,400 they're reading menus and they're 582 00:23:10,780 --> 00:23:09,080 waiting for me to come along and take 583 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:10,790 their order and deliver their drinks and 584 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:12,890 their food and all that that's what they 585 00:23:18,340 --> 00:23:15,410 symbolize they symbolize the things in 586 00:23:20,290 --> 00:23:18,350 my life that need my attention it can be 587 00:23:22,690 --> 00:23:20,300 people in my life that need my attention 588 00:23:25,630 --> 00:23:22,700 but it can also just be the things that 589 00:23:27,580 --> 00:23:25,640 are on my to-do list so now when I have 590 00:23:31,090 --> 00:23:27,590 a recurring dream like that when that 591 00:23:33,910 --> 00:23:31,100 pops up I know to look at my daily life 592 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:33,920 and go okay I either need to really 593 00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:35,930 buckle down and get things knocked off 594 00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:38,990 of my to-do list or I need to simplify I 595 00:23:43,930 --> 00:23:41,180 need to get a few of those things off of 596 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:43,940 my list and just realize hey maybe my 597 00:23:47,950 --> 00:23:45,890 ambitions are larger than my ability to 598 00:23:50,710 --> 00:23:47,960 be able to achieve all of them that's 599 00:23:53,290 --> 00:23:50,720 okay to pare down that list somehow so 600 00:23:56,350 --> 00:23:53,300 look at your recurring dreams start 601 00:23:59,350 --> 00:23:56,360 there they are the most important themes 602 00:24:00,880 --> 00:23:59,360 and the stories that pop up in your 603 00:24:03,010 --> 00:24:00,890 dreams you're going to find them there 604 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:03,020 if you start with your recurring dreams 605 00:24:07,090 --> 00:24:04,850 and you can start to understand some of 606 00:24:10,090 --> 00:24:07,100 the imagery and the symbolism you can 607 00:24:13,270 --> 00:24:10,100 use it as your answer key so now when 608 00:24:15,670 --> 00:24:13,280 you have another dream that is about the 609 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:15,680 same subject or it brings up the same 610 00:24:20,230 --> 00:24:18,320 sort of story theme you can wake up and 611 00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:20,240 you immediately have some of the 612 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:22,910 groundwork laid you know you wake up and 613 00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:25,490 you go okay I understand this part of 614 00:24:29,890 --> 00:24:27,560 the dream what is the rest of it mean 615 00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:29,900 and when you have that answer key from 616 00:24:34,180 --> 00:24:31,580 figuring out the certain parts that 617 00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:34,190 recurring dreams now you can go to the 618 00:24:39,340 --> 00:24:36,260 rest of the dream and figure it out more 619 00:24:41,830 --> 00:24:39,350 easily right on yeah that's great advice 620 00:24:45,010 --> 00:24:41,840 for getting started and to dive a little 621 00:24:47,260 --> 00:24:45,020 deeper into that so if dreaming is some 622 00:24:49,510 --> 00:24:47,270 form of symbolic communication with our 623 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:49,520 subconscious to get better at receiving 624 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:51,890 the message sort of like we have to get 625 00:24:56,830 --> 00:24:53,840 familiar with the language of course 626 00:24:57,460 --> 00:24:56,840 most languages have a structure or set 627 00:25:00,010 --> 00:24:57,470 of rules 628 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:00,020 various ways to emphasize certain things 629 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:02,690 over others is there a reliable 630 00:25:06,370 --> 00:25:04,850 universal structure to the way the 631 00:25:07,910 --> 00:25:06,380 subconscious communicates like 632 00:25:10,790 --> 00:25:07,920 highlighting things and 633 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:10,800 certain colors or forms or just certain 634 00:25:14,990 --> 00:25:12,510 forms of emphasis anything else like 635 00:25:17,900 --> 00:25:15,000 that you know a great way to think about 636 00:25:20,780 --> 00:25:17,910 dreams is they do use a language and the 637 00:25:23,300 --> 00:25:20,790 language is symbolism so that is really 638 00:25:25,940 --> 00:25:23,310 the place to begin and decoding 639 00:25:28,250 --> 00:25:25,950 symbolism is one of the first things 640 00:25:30,860 --> 00:25:28,260 that I teach about dream interpretation 641 00:25:33,290 --> 00:25:30,870 now from that and we can launch more 642 00:25:35,810 --> 00:25:33,300 into how to decode symbolism we can do 643 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:35,820 that a little bit later now you asked if 644 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:38,370 there is a way that dreams have a 645 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:40,530 structure to them is there a universal 646 00:25:46,490 --> 00:25:44,010 way that they create their stories and I 647 00:25:48,530 --> 00:25:46,500 won't say universal but I have noticed a 648 00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:48,540 pattern and as somebody with a 649 00:25:51,950 --> 00:25:50,520 journalism background I know the 650 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:51,960 structure of the way that you're 651 00:25:56,690 --> 00:25:53,850 supposed to present most stories it's 652 00:25:59,870 --> 00:25:56,700 the inverted pyramid structure and I 653 00:26:02,510 --> 00:25:59,880 have recognized that dreams use sort of 654 00:26:05,540 --> 00:26:02,520 a structure like that it's a called a 655 00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:05,550 template and that many dreams will 656 00:26:12,110 --> 00:26:08,760 follow that template and here it is it 657 00:26:13,850 --> 00:26:12,120 starts off by giving the subject of the 658 00:26:16,310 --> 00:26:13,860 dream when somebody gives me a 659 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:16,320 description of a dream I often find the 660 00:26:21,410 --> 00:26:18,450 subject in the first sentence or two and 661 00:26:24,020 --> 00:26:21,420 then what it's going to do is it's going 662 00:26:25,910 --> 00:26:24,030 to review the past it's going to talk 663 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:25,920 about the present and it's going to 664 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:29,250 point towards the future so if let's say 665 00:26:35,090 --> 00:26:31,650 that this is a dream is addressing an 666 00:26:37,910 --> 00:26:35,100 issue in your life and it started when 667 00:26:40,430 --> 00:26:37,920 your parents divorced and you were a 668 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:40,440 teenager and something happened to you 669 00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:43,530 it caused a rift inside of you it might 670 00:26:48,290 --> 00:26:46,020 have been many many years ago but that 671 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:48,300 rift is not healed let's just use this 672 00:26:55,430 --> 00:26:52,290 as an example so now the dream puts you 673 00:26:59,270 --> 00:26:55,440 in your family home where you used to 674 00:27:03,140 --> 00:26:59,280 live where the divorce happened and it 675 00:27:06,140 --> 00:27:03,150 somehow and the first scene is going to 676 00:27:09,860 --> 00:27:06,150 say that this dream is about what 677 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:09,870 happened back then and then it's going 678 00:27:14,330 --> 00:27:12,210 to show you where you are in the 679 00:27:16,850 --> 00:27:14,340 presence of your life if there is 680 00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:16,860 something that is unhealed it might show 681 00:27:21,690 --> 00:27:20,190 a way it'll speak in symbolism it might 682 00:27:25,170 --> 00:27:21,700 show it as a wound 683 00:27:27,390 --> 00:27:25,180 on your body it might project out that 684 00:27:28,860 --> 00:27:27,400 wound on to someone else like let's say 685 00:27:31,410 --> 00:27:28,870 a sibling who was there who also 686 00:27:32,670 --> 00:27:31,420 experienced the divorce now you're 687 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:32,680 looking out and you're seeing your 688 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:34,450 sibling and your sibling is wounded or 689 00:27:38,370 --> 00:27:36,250 covered in blood well that could make 690 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:38,380 people really distressed but it is a 691 00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:41,530 language of symbolism and the blood or 692 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:44,790 the wound represents the emotional the 693 00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:47,650 psychological wound of the experience of 694 00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:50,110 the family divorce it puts you in a 695 00:27:54,750 --> 00:27:52,750 setting of the old family home to refer 696 00:27:55,620 --> 00:27:54,760 to the past it says this is the place 697 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:55,630 where you lived 698 00:28:00,120 --> 00:27:57,730 when this wounding experience happens 699 00:28:02,610 --> 00:28:00,130 and then it's going to point towards 700 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:02,620 what's coming up in the future 701 00:28:07,470 --> 00:28:05,530 which is if you are dreaming about this 702 00:28:08,730 --> 00:28:07,480 it probably means that you are ready to 703 00:28:10,590 --> 00:28:08,740 heal from it 704 00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:10,600 even if you don't consciously realize it 705 00:28:15,510 --> 00:28:12,670 there is energy that's coming up from 706 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:15,520 deep in the mind in the subconscious 707 00:28:21,090 --> 00:28:18,370 part of the mind and that energy can be 708 00:28:23,310 --> 00:28:21,100 used to help to heal now I'll give you a 709 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:23,320 quick example from a dream that I use 710 00:28:28,110 --> 00:28:26,170 this actually in my book there was a man 711 00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:28,120 who came to Reddit who said that he had 712 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:30,820 this dream that he was back in his 713 00:28:36,030 --> 00:28:33,010 family home he's there with his sister 714 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:36,040 he here is on the radio that there is a 715 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:38,170 big tornado coming 716 00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:40,450 he looks outside and he sees the black 717 00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:43,270 clouds and they are rolling in real fast 718 00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:46,270 he realizes that they need to get to the 719 00:28:51,980 --> 00:28:48,880 basement he goes down to the basement 720 00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:51,990 and his sister is already there she 721 00:28:59,310 --> 00:28:55,870 screams at the top of her lungs we 722 00:29:00,990 --> 00:28:59,320 should have seen it coming now you might 723 00:29:03,870 --> 00:29:01,000 think that she's referring to the 724 00:29:05,460 --> 00:29:03,880 tornado and symbolically she is but what 725 00:29:08,100 --> 00:29:05,470 she's really referring to is what I'll 726 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:08,110 get to in just a moment in the opening 727 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:10,090 of the dream we see the subject it's 728 00:29:15,210 --> 00:29:12,730 about his family home his parents are in 729 00:29:16,860 --> 00:29:15,220 the scene but the storm coming is 730 00:29:19,650 --> 00:29:16,870 telling him something that's the 731 00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:19,660 symbolic language that says something is 732 00:29:25,950 --> 00:29:22,000 coming and it might be very tumultuous 733 00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:25,960 in your life it might up end things for 734 00:29:30,990 --> 00:29:29,440 you because why because you have 735 00:29:33,030 --> 00:29:31,000 something that you haven't dealt with 736 00:29:34,860 --> 00:29:33,040 it's been ten years since your parents 737 00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:34,870 divorce but you haven't dealt with he 738 00:29:37,780 --> 00:29:35,360 can 739 00:29:39,250 --> 00:29:37,790 EAL this but its feelings that are way 740 00:29:40,419 --> 00:29:39,260 in the background so he's not very 741 00:29:43,270 --> 00:29:40,429 conscious of him yet 742 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:43,280 when he goes down into the basement what 743 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:46,250 that means is down to where into your 744 00:29:51,850 --> 00:29:49,370 memories especially the memories that 745 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:51,860 you are keeping out of sight because 746 00:29:57,910 --> 00:29:54,010 what is a basement used for in many 747 00:30:00,520 --> 00:29:57,920 situations it's to store things so your 748 00:30:03,549 --> 00:30:00,530 dream starts with that idea and it 749 00:30:06,669 --> 00:30:03,559 creates an idea around it and it uses 750 00:30:08,620 --> 00:30:06,679 the language of symbolism it says okay 751 00:30:11,289 --> 00:30:08,630 well it's in the basement because it's 752 00:30:13,450 --> 00:30:11,299 out of sight out of mind and what for 753 00:30:16,030 --> 00:30:13,460 you as the dreamer is out of sight out 754 00:30:18,159 --> 00:30:16,040 of mind the experience of your parents 755 00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:18,169 divorce you were a teenager at the time 756 00:30:21,310 --> 00:30:20,809 and you just sort of went on with your 757 00:30:23,260 --> 00:30:21,320 life 758 00:30:25,090 --> 00:30:23,270 you didn't deal with any of it you just 759 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:25,100 went on with your life which is how many 760 00:30:29,919 --> 00:30:27,770 teenagers deal with traumatic situations 761 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:29,929 like that like hey don't bother me with 762 00:30:34,810 --> 00:30:32,450 this I'm 15 now I've got my friends I 763 00:30:38,049 --> 00:30:34,820 don't want to you know gee I don't have 764 00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:38,059 to deal with this so the real clue to 765 00:30:42,909 --> 00:30:40,190 the dream that ties it all together and 766 00:30:46,390 --> 00:30:42,919 I find this in most dreams is that there 767 00:30:50,409 --> 00:30:46,400 is one thing that will stand out to me 768 00:30:54,789 --> 00:30:50,419 as very important in this dream it's the 769 00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:54,799 sisters statement she says why didn't we 770 00:31:00,250 --> 00:30:58,490 see it coming what she's referring to is 771 00:31:02,530 --> 00:31:00,260 the parents divorce it was something 772 00:31:04,390 --> 00:31:02,540 that they saw the signs you know the 773 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:04,400 dark clouds were gathering in their 774 00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:06,890 family relationship the parents were 775 00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:08,960 having some trouble but for the most 776 00:31:14,230 --> 00:31:10,910 part they kept it from their kids and 777 00:31:16,630 --> 00:31:14,240 then all of a sudden the bomb drops the 778 00:31:18,490 --> 00:31:16,640 tornado descends out of the sky the 779 00:31:21,490 --> 00:31:18,500 parents say hey we're getting divorced 780 00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:21,500 and the kids are like huh you know like 781 00:31:25,510 --> 00:31:24,080 oh okay I guess if we look back on it we 782 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:25,520 could have kind of seen the signs coming 783 00:31:31,210 --> 00:31:28,130 but you know hey this is still a big 784 00:31:33,549 --> 00:31:31,220 surprise to us now it also speaks to a 785 00:31:35,380 --> 00:31:33,559 deeper level of what's going on with the 786 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:35,390 dreamer because these memories are 787 00:31:41,890 --> 00:31:38,210 coming up at that time of his life for a 788 00:31:44,210 --> 00:31:41,900 reason and it's because he needs to go 789 00:31:46,580 --> 00:31:44,220 back and deal with it he 790 00:31:49,010 --> 00:31:46,590 needs to find the part of himself that 791 00:31:52,190 --> 00:31:49,020 his lost or split off from that 792 00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:52,200 experience his sister is in the dream 793 00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:55,260 because she was part of that experience 794 00:32:02,120 --> 00:31:59,130 too so this is the way that dreams take 795 00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:02,130 a situation they show you what happened 796 00:32:06,980 --> 00:32:04,260 in the past they show you what's going 797 00:32:09,169 --> 00:32:06,990 on in the present and then what could be 798 00:32:11,690 --> 00:32:09,179 happening in the future and in this case 799 00:32:13,610 --> 00:32:11,700 what could be happening for this guy is 800 00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:13,620 is is that he's going to go through a 801 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:15,120 period that's going to be very 802 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:17,730 emotionally turbulent for him you know 803 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:19,770 the tornado is going to descend and it 804 00:32:23,990 --> 00:32:21,330 might upend his life a little bit 805 00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:24,000 especially his internal life but if he 806 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:26,220 does that there is sort of a promise 807 00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:28,530 that afterwards we'll be blue skies and 808 00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:30,240 sunshine waiting for him in other words 809 00:32:35,390 --> 00:32:32,760 he's going to heal the past and it's 810 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:35,400 going to help him to better live in the 811 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:38,970 present hmm Wow I think that's a pretty 812 00:32:44,570 --> 00:32:41,330 great example of an interpretation 813 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:44,580 template for a pretty specific situation 814 00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:46,130 I think that makes a lot of sense and 815 00:32:51,860 --> 00:32:49,049 let's get deeper into that symbolism 816 00:32:55,310 --> 00:32:51,870 interpretation in general maybe some 817 00:32:58,039 --> 00:32:55,320 popular examples popular dreams people 818 00:32:59,600 --> 00:32:58,049 have for maximum relatability what would 819 00:33:02,149 --> 00:32:59,610 you say are some of the most common 820 00:33:05,270 --> 00:33:02,159 scenes and symbols and dreams and what 821 00:33:08,750 --> 00:33:05,280 they might mean well a very common theme 822 00:33:11,899 --> 00:33:08,760 that pops up is the dream about being in 823 00:33:14,810 --> 00:33:11,909 a car or driving a vehicle and it often 824 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:14,820 refers to the daily progress or course 825 00:33:19,399 --> 00:33:17,730 of your life and the amount of control 826 00:33:22,250 --> 00:33:19,409 that you have because when you are 827 00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:22,260 driving a car you have your hands on the 828 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:24,510 wheel and you have your feet on the 829 00:33:28,940 --> 00:33:26,640 pedals and you are able to control the 830 00:33:31,490 --> 00:33:28,950 speed and direction of the vehicle which 831 00:33:33,860 --> 00:33:31,500 translated into dream language it means 832 00:33:35,270 --> 00:33:33,870 the speed and direction of your life now 833 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:35,280 what does it say when you are a 834 00:33:40,299 --> 00:33:37,890 passenger in a vehicle and somebody else 835 00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:40,309 is driving it can mean that you are not 836 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:42,510 controlling the speed and direction of 837 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:45,210 your life or it could represent an area 838 00:33:49,130 --> 00:33:46,650 of your life like if it's your 839 00:33:52,220 --> 00:33:49,140 supervisor who's in the driver's seat of 840 00:33:54,740 --> 00:33:52,230 your car well now you know that your 841 00:33:57,169 --> 00:33:54,750 supervisor is controlling the speed and 842 00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:57,179 direction of your work life it could be 843 00:33:59,170 --> 00:33:58,050 anyone it could be a 844 00:34:01,580 --> 00:33:59,180 parent who's in the driver's seat 845 00:34:03,170 --> 00:34:01,590 teenagers dream about this a lot they'll 846 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:03,180 be in the car with their parent and the 847 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:04,890 parent is driving because the parent is 848 00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:06,090 the one who's in control of their life 849 00:34:10,460 --> 00:34:08,730 right or if they are the one who has to 850 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:10,470 take over the wheel what does that say 851 00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:13,410 about the parents ability to lead so 852 00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:16,110 that is one theme another one is being 853 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:19,410 in your home and you are either just 854 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:21,330 sort of going through what appears to be 855 00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:23,850 a kind of ordinary situation with your 856 00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:26,760 family or whoever you live with or you 857 00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:29,250 are exploring your home and this is a 858 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:31,770 great chance for us to look at how 859 00:34:36,350 --> 00:34:33,690 dreams use the language of symbolism 860 00:34:38,870 --> 00:34:36,360 what is a home it is the place where you 861 00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:38,880 live what is your mind it's the place 862 00:34:42,919 --> 00:34:40,830 where your consciousness lives what is 863 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:42,929 your body it's the place where your mind 864 00:34:49,250 --> 00:34:46,290 and consciousness live so a home can 865 00:34:53,540 --> 00:34:49,260 represent that sort of metaphorical idea 866 00:34:55,910 --> 00:34:53,550 of the place where you live also a home 867 00:34:59,450 --> 00:34:55,920 is something that is constructed so a 868 00:35:02,330 --> 00:34:59,460 home can mean it can symbolize the ways 869 00:35:05,780 --> 00:35:02,340 that you are building up your life now 870 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:05,790 take an idea such as a very common dream 871 00:35:10,670 --> 00:35:08,970 theme is you are in your home it may not 872 00:35:12,650 --> 00:35:10,680 look like the actual home that you live 873 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:12,660 in but you just know in the dream this 874 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:16,290 is this is my home and you find a new 875 00:35:21,380 --> 00:35:19,170 room or a new section to the home well 876 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:21,390 what does that mean take the previous 877 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:24,450 ideas home is your life it's the life 878 00:35:30,260 --> 00:35:26,850 you build or construct for yourself oh 879 00:35:32,150 --> 00:35:30,270 well hey if you find a new room then it 880 00:35:34,850 --> 00:35:32,160 can mean you are finding out something 881 00:35:37,460 --> 00:35:34,860 new about yourself this is you 882 00:35:39,860 --> 00:35:37,470 discovering opening up some new area of 883 00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:39,870 your life or of your psyche of your 884 00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:42,480 being it can be a new area in your 885 00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:44,400 feelings it can be a new area of 886 00:35:49,370 --> 00:35:46,830 knowledge it can be an avenue for 887 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:49,380 exploration for something that you want 888 00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:52,290 to find out more about about yourself in 889 00:35:58,760 --> 00:35:56,250 particular so homes driving in cars and 890 00:36:01,190 --> 00:35:58,770 then we can get into things that are say 891 00:36:04,460 --> 00:36:01,200 more specific themes being in school I 892 00:36:05,900 --> 00:36:04,470 mentioned this earlier just briefly one 893 00:36:09,050 --> 00:36:05,910 of the great ways of interpreting a 894 00:36:11,780 --> 00:36:09,060 dream is start off by stepping back in 895 00:36:16,220 --> 00:36:11,790 simplifying the ideas that are presented 896 00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:16,230 dreamz brainstorm ideas like other words 897 00:36:21,170 --> 00:36:19,110 that can be used in association with the 898 00:36:23,870 --> 00:36:21,180 characters in the settings you know like 899 00:36:26,090 --> 00:36:23,880 a police officer could mean Authority 900 00:36:28,700 --> 00:36:26,100 you know a teacher could mean I'm 901 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:28,710 learning something a school has similar 902 00:36:34,070 --> 00:36:31,290 sorts of ideas but we need to expand 903 00:36:36,530 --> 00:36:34,080 beyond the idea of just book learning 904 00:36:39,260 --> 00:36:36,540 dreams can address what you are learning 905 00:36:41,810 --> 00:36:39,270 academically if you are in school you 906 00:36:44,450 --> 00:36:41,820 are very likely to dream frequently 907 00:36:47,270 --> 00:36:44,460 about school and being in school and the 908 00:36:49,550 --> 00:36:47,280 subjects related to school but if you or 909 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:49,560 somebody who say had to touch the 910 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:51,570 classroom in 20 years and you're 911 00:36:55,460 --> 00:36:53,490 dreaming about being in school all the 912 00:36:57,530 --> 00:36:55,470 time you know it has nothing to do 913 00:36:59,360 --> 00:36:57,540 really with academic learning unless of 914 00:37:01,460 --> 00:36:59,370 course that's going on in some way in 915 00:37:03,470 --> 00:37:01,470 your life but what else are you learning 916 00:37:05,390 --> 00:37:03,480 you're learning about yourself you're 917 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:05,400 learning about your life you could be 918 00:37:10,970 --> 00:37:08,970 learning more about work I find very 919 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:10,980 often a theme in the dreams of people 920 00:37:15,950 --> 00:37:12,930 who have encountered something at work 921 00:37:18,140 --> 00:37:15,960 and they are unprepared for it they will 922 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:18,150 dream about being back in school and 923 00:37:23,660 --> 00:37:20,370 it's exam day and they haven't been 924 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:23,670 there all semester or they find out that 925 00:37:27,950 --> 00:37:26,010 they have more classes to take in order 926 00:37:30,650 --> 00:37:27,960 to graduate I have that theme quite 927 00:37:33,710 --> 00:37:30,660 often in my dreams and I have been able 928 00:37:36,170 --> 00:37:33,720 to interpret and understand those dreams 929 00:37:39,020 --> 00:37:36,180 as I have encountered something in my 930 00:37:41,690 --> 00:37:39,030 waking life and I don't feel prepared 931 00:37:44,750 --> 00:37:41,700 for it school is what prepares us for 932 00:37:47,530 --> 00:37:44,760 our work life right well now you have a 933 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:47,540 dream that showing you in school and 934 00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:51,450 when you are unprepared for an exam just 935 00:37:56,330 --> 00:37:53,730 simply look at it as what is something 936 00:37:59,660 --> 00:37:56,340 important going on in my life for which 937 00:38:01,760 --> 00:37:59,670 I feel unprepared simplify it down to 938 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:01,770 that and then oftentimes you can make 939 00:38:07,010 --> 00:38:04,530 that connection and go oh yeah hey you 940 00:38:08,930 --> 00:38:07,020 know well I'm writing a book I'm an 941 00:38:12,380 --> 00:38:08,940 author this actually happened to me and 942 00:38:14,930 --> 00:38:12,390 I am used to the journalism format of 943 00:38:18,140 --> 00:38:14,940 writing where I might pump out 500 or a 944 00:38:21,020 --> 00:38:18,150 thousand or 2,000 words and this is a 945 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:21,030 sixty thousand word manuscript and man 946 00:38:25,109 --> 00:38:23,970 is it a lot to wrap my mind around there 947 00:38:27,839 --> 00:38:25,119 is a lot of them 948 00:38:30,539 --> 00:38:27,849 Meishan here I'm not used to organizing 949 00:38:32,579 --> 00:38:30,549 all of this information and writing into 950 00:38:36,779 --> 00:38:32,589 a coherent structure where you start at 951 00:38:39,870 --> 00:38:36,789 page one and you end on page 240 and all 952 00:38:43,109 --> 00:38:39,880 that flows together there is a skill set 953 00:38:44,999 --> 00:38:43,119 for that that most people are not going 954 00:38:48,539 --> 00:38:45,009 to be prepared for when they're in 955 00:38:51,210 --> 00:38:48,549 school because they're not writing 240 956 00:38:54,329 --> 00:38:51,220 page paper [\h__\h] unless you have a 957 00:38:56,519 --> 00:38:54,339 master's thesis or a PhD dissertation or 958 00:38:59,549 --> 00:38:56,529 stuff that you are not dealing with work 959 00:39:02,099 --> 00:38:59,559 that it's that long so being in school 960 00:39:05,099 --> 00:39:02,109 being at home driving in your car these 961 00:39:06,779 --> 00:39:05,109 are very common themes I have one that 962 00:39:09,210 --> 00:39:06,789 has come up over and over again and 963 00:39:11,759 --> 00:39:09,220 maybe because I'm a moderator at Reddick 964 00:39:15,539 --> 00:39:11,769 and it's more of a younger crowd that's 965 00:39:19,559 --> 00:39:15,549 very tuned into modern media I get a lot 966 00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:19,569 of dreams about zombies what is it you 967 00:39:22,470 --> 00:39:20,710 know I mean I've watched The Walking 968 00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:22,480 Dead and I dug it and everything you 969 00:39:27,329 --> 00:39:24,730 know but man this theme pops up a lot 970 00:39:30,630 --> 00:39:27,339 now if you step back from it and you 971 00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:30,640 really simplify what is a zombie well 972 00:39:34,380 --> 00:39:32,170 there's different ways of looking at it 973 00:39:36,289 --> 00:39:34,390 and your dreams can use these different 974 00:39:39,509 --> 00:39:36,299 ways of looking at it to create 975 00:39:42,569 --> 00:39:39,519 symbolism to tell stories about what's 976 00:39:45,299 --> 00:39:42,579 going on in your life the events in your 977 00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:45,309 life and also what's going on inside you 978 00:39:51,210 --> 00:39:47,230 in your thoughts and then your feelings 979 00:39:53,489 --> 00:39:51,220 so you have the dream about a zombie and 980 00:39:56,099 --> 00:39:53,499 of course you have to look at it with 981 00:39:58,529 --> 00:39:56,109 other details of the story to really 982 00:40:01,229 --> 00:39:58,539 understand which use of the symbolism 983 00:40:02,670 --> 00:40:01,239 the dream is using all of the details of 984 00:40:05,339 --> 00:40:02,680 the dream tied together 985 00:40:07,859 --> 00:40:05,349 so if it is a zombie that's trying to 986 00:40:09,930 --> 00:40:07,869 eat your brains well that's one thing 987 00:40:11,729 --> 00:40:09,940 and it could mean that you feel like 988 00:40:14,009 --> 00:40:11,739 there is something that is sapping all 989 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:14,019 of the life or intelligence out of you 990 00:40:17,549 --> 00:40:15,730 you know maybe you've been watching too 991 00:40:19,380 --> 00:40:17,559 much mindless television when it's like 992 00:40:21,210 --> 00:40:19,390 a zombie that's eating your brain this 993 00:40:23,460 --> 00:40:21,220 is a simplistic example but people 994 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:23,470 really do have this imagery this type of 995 00:40:28,229 --> 00:40:25,930 imagery pop up in their dreams but a 996 00:40:30,900 --> 00:40:28,239 zombie could mean that you feel like you 997 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:30,910 are surrounded by mindless people the 998 00:40:36,210 --> 00:40:33,130 way that a zombie moves slowly and 999 00:40:38,660 --> 00:40:36,220 sluggishly that can describe how you 1000 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:38,670 feel about what's going on in your life 1001 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:41,130 out you might feel lethargic you know 1002 00:40:46,580 --> 00:40:43,650 you might feel slow but now let's get a 1003 00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:46,590 little deeper a zombie is something that 1004 00:40:54,860 --> 00:40:49,920 is transforming but it got stuck between 1005 00:40:57,470 --> 00:40:54,870 two stages one is alive one is dead and 1006 00:41:00,260 --> 00:40:57,480 then you have your zombie that is in 1007 00:41:02,750 --> 00:41:00,270 between it's not fully alive it's not 1008 00:41:05,150 --> 00:41:02,760 fully dead right we'll start with that 1009 00:41:07,430 --> 00:41:05,160 idea what could that describe about 1010 00:41:09,950 --> 00:41:07,440 what's going on in your life what kind 1011 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:09,960 of situations could have described let's 1012 00:41:14,750 --> 00:41:12,930 say that you broke up with someone you 1013 00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:14,760 had a relationship you broke up with 1014 00:41:19,820 --> 00:41:17,520 someone and you are still holding out 1015 00:41:22,430 --> 00:41:19,830 hope for that relationship well the 1016 00:41:26,660 --> 00:41:22,440 relationship is dead but your hope for 1017 00:41:29,150 --> 00:41:26,670 it is still alive it's a zombie okay so 1018 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:29,160 this is how dreams create symbolism you 1019 00:41:34,250 --> 00:41:31,290 know I just talked about the ex I get a 1020 00:41:35,420 --> 00:41:34,260 lot of dreams people coming to Reddit 1021 00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:35,430 and they want to know why they're 1022 00:41:39,050 --> 00:41:37,230 dreaming about their ex you know 1023 00:41:41,210 --> 00:41:39,060 somebody that they used to love and 1024 00:41:43,210 --> 00:41:41,220 maybe they still do love them but 1025 00:41:45,950 --> 00:41:43,220 they're not together as a couple anymore 1026 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:45,960 well there are a lot of reasons for this 1027 00:41:52,610 --> 00:41:48,690 different potential reasons for it and 1028 00:41:55,490 --> 00:41:52,620 most likely it is either that a you are 1029 00:41:59,750 --> 00:41:55,500 learning from the experience so that you 1030 00:42:01,850 --> 00:41:59,760 don't repeat the same mistakes or B you 1031 00:42:04,130 --> 00:42:01,860 are recognizing something that's going 1032 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:04,140 on presently in your life that somehow 1033 00:42:14,990 --> 00:42:08,850 remind you of the past or C you have 1034 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:15,000 this thing going on where you you are 1035 00:42:19,850 --> 00:42:17,970 reminded of the past and you want the 1036 00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:19,860 person and the qualities that they had 1037 00:42:26,180 --> 00:42:23,250 or that time of life and the dream uses 1038 00:42:29,060 --> 00:42:26,190 it as a symbol to tell a story around 1039 00:42:32,540 --> 00:42:29,070 just for example you see your ex in the 1040 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:32,550 dream because that is somebody who when 1041 00:42:36,530 --> 00:42:34,050 you were in a relationship with that 1042 00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:36,540 person it brought out the best in you 1043 00:42:41,390 --> 00:42:39,030 you really wanted to be the best person 1044 00:42:43,370 --> 00:42:41,400 you could be because you are motivated 1045 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:43,380 by the desire to preserve the 1046 00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:46,170 relationship now what's going on in your 1047 00:42:51,770 --> 00:42:48,510 life are you still trying to be the best 1048 00:42:52,430 --> 00:42:51,780 that you can be if so or even if not 1049 00:42:54,559 --> 00:42:52,440 that 1050 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:54,569 can come up in the dream to represent 1051 00:43:00,140 --> 00:42:57,450 that idea and then the other details of 1052 00:43:02,750 --> 00:43:00,150 the dream will form together around that 1053 00:43:05,510 --> 00:43:02,760 idea to tell the story about what's 1054 00:43:07,940 --> 00:43:05,520 going on presently in your life it 1055 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:07,950 refers to the past it talks about the 1056 00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:09,930 present and then it points towards the 1057 00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:11,730 future this is the standard structure 1058 00:43:16,970 --> 00:43:14,609 what most dreams do so we can get into 1059 00:43:18,890 --> 00:43:16,980 one other one real quick and I know that 1060 00:43:20,780 --> 00:43:18,900 your audience having listened to your 1061 00:43:24,859 --> 00:43:20,790 show I know your audiences better like 1062 00:43:26,390 --> 00:43:24,869 this one aliens and UFOs and alien 1063 00:43:29,530 --> 00:43:26,400 abductions hell yeah 1064 00:43:32,420 --> 00:43:29,540 this theme seems to come up a lot and 1065 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:32,430 the ones that I talked about first the 1066 00:43:37,370 --> 00:43:34,650 dreams about your home dreams about your 1067 00:43:39,770 --> 00:43:37,380 car those are the most common themes but 1068 00:43:42,109 --> 00:43:39,780 then if you look at call them the outer 1069 00:43:45,140 --> 00:43:42,119 circle of themes that are still popular 1070 00:43:47,900 --> 00:43:45,150 they arise a lot in people's dreams you 1071 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:47,910 get a lot of dreams about aliens and 1072 00:43:54,050 --> 00:43:51,210 alien like subjects and what I find is 1073 00:43:58,700 --> 00:43:54,060 is that a dream begins with the idea of 1074 00:44:00,770 --> 00:43:58,710 alien and then simplify it now if you 1075 00:44:04,099 --> 00:44:00,780 think of an alien what is another word 1076 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:04,109 for alien an alien is foreign how can 1077 00:44:09,620 --> 00:44:06,930 you leave an idea or a story around that 1078 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:09,630 idea well you might be dreaming about 1079 00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:12,690 something that is foreign to you it's 1080 00:44:18,559 --> 00:44:15,089 outside the scope of your experience you 1081 00:44:21,050 --> 00:44:18,569 might be dreaming about a foreigner take 1082 00:44:23,059 --> 00:44:21,060 some of the reports about aliens and 1083 00:44:26,050 --> 00:44:23,069 people how they interact with them and 1084 00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:26,060 now you can create other stories you can 1085 00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:29,609 address a subject such as the aliens are 1086 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:32,400 here to give us their cosmic wisdom and 1087 00:44:36,859 --> 00:44:34,170 knowledge well that could mean that you 1088 00:44:39,890 --> 00:44:36,869 are looking for something knowledge wise 1089 00:44:43,730 --> 00:44:39,900 especially spiritual knowledge that is 1090 00:44:47,030 --> 00:44:43,740 outside of the norm aliens abduct people 1091 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:47,040 from their homes this is a common story 1092 00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:49,650 well how could that be used to relate to 1093 00:44:54,859 --> 00:44:52,500 what's going on in your life well maybe 1094 00:44:57,380 --> 00:44:54,869 you have a fear of being separated from 1095 00:45:00,200 --> 00:44:57,390 your family maybe that fear is just a 1096 00:45:02,270 --> 00:45:00,210 general fear or maybe you know that 1097 00:45:04,250 --> 00:45:02,280 let's say you are going to take a job 1098 00:45:06,410 --> 00:45:04,260 and it's going to take you to a new town 1099 00:45:10,339 --> 00:45:06,420 well that means you're going to be 1100 00:45:13,370 --> 00:45:10,349 separated from your family an alien and 1101 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:13,380 a UFO drops in out of the sky out of 1102 00:45:17,270 --> 00:45:15,690 nowhere and it up ends your life kinda 1103 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:17,280 like the tornado that referred to 1104 00:45:21,230 --> 00:45:19,410 earlier well how can that be used to 1105 00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:21,240 describe what's going on in your life 1106 00:45:26,569 --> 00:45:23,609 well it could mean that there is 1107 00:45:28,940 --> 00:45:26,579 something you fear or you think is 1108 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:28,950 suddenly going to change everything for 1109 00:45:33,260 --> 00:45:31,530 you this theme was very common back 1110 00:45:36,289 --> 00:45:33,270 during the Cold War when we were 1111 00:45:38,809 --> 00:45:36,299 constantly having this reminder that the 1112 00:45:41,180 --> 00:45:38,819 Soviet Union could launch their ICBMs 1113 00:45:42,950 --> 00:45:41,190 any moment and what's going to happen 1114 00:45:45,410 --> 00:45:42,960 they're going to drop down from the sky 1115 00:45:47,630 --> 00:45:45,420 and it's going to destroy everything so 1116 00:45:51,620 --> 00:45:47,640 people started having a lot of dreams 1117 00:45:54,230 --> 00:45:51,630 about aliens in order to describe what 1118 00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:54,240 was going on and in their lives that 1119 00:45:57,859 --> 00:45:56,250 fear that something was just going to 1120 00:45:59,680 --> 00:45:57,869 drop down from the sky and suddenly 1121 00:46:02,510 --> 00:45:59,690 change or destroy everything 1122 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:02,520 hmm so pretty cool huh some interesting 1123 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:04,650 dream symbolism it goes on and on and 1124 00:46:09,410 --> 00:46:07,290 you know I talk about this in very great 1125 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:09,420 depth in my dream dictionary I really 1126 00:46:14,720 --> 00:46:11,490 wanted to go into more depth than most 1127 00:46:17,839 --> 00:46:14,730 dream dictionaries go into because there 1128 00:46:21,289 --> 00:46:17,849 are so many possibilities presented by 1129 00:46:24,140 --> 00:46:21,299 every dream symbol and the subjects the 1130 00:46:26,270 --> 00:46:24,150 symbolism is often so personal and the 1131 00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:26,280 subjects of the dreams are so personal 1132 00:46:31,430 --> 00:46:29,369 that it is impossible for someone like 1133 00:46:34,099 --> 00:46:31,440 me sitting at a computer typing words 1134 00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:34,109 into a document and then giving it to a 1135 00:46:38,780 --> 00:46:36,270 publisher and having them print it out 1136 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:38,790 and give it to you out there you know I 1137 00:46:44,420 --> 00:46:41,010 can't guess at everything that is going 1138 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:44,430 on in your life but I can teach you how 1139 00:46:49,730 --> 00:46:46,770 to decode the language of your dreams 1140 00:46:51,799 --> 00:46:49,740 for yourself so I did it in a dream 1141 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:51,809 dictionary format because that's very 1142 00:46:56,930 --> 00:46:54,930 accessible to people mm-hmm yeah that is 1143 00:46:59,780 --> 00:46:56,940 definitely fascinating and there is 1144 00:47:01,940 --> 00:46:59,790 actually some debate over if all 1145 00:47:03,799 --> 00:47:01,950 abduction experiences or alien 1146 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:03,809 experiences are dreams if there might be 1147 00:47:08,299 --> 00:47:05,970 a connection between the phenomenon and 1148 00:47:10,609 --> 00:47:08,309 the sleep state possibly it's just 1149 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:10,619 designed to feel like a dream but 1150 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:14,010 regardless you also share with me an 1151 00:47:17,450 --> 00:47:15,930 example that was pretty extreme I guess 1152 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:17,460 we could refer to it as the fisting 1153 00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:20,130 example can you tell us about that one 1154 00:47:24,980 --> 00:47:23,100 yeah sure well this is one that I've 1155 00:47:26,630 --> 00:47:24,990 gotta warn your audience I know you know 1156 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:26,640 we're we're all adults here we can 1157 00:47:31,910 --> 00:47:29,610 handle this this was a real dream and I 1158 00:47:34,850 --> 00:47:31,920 use it as an example in my book in the 1159 00:47:38,540 --> 00:47:34,860 entry for fisting as in anal fisting 1160 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:38,550 okay but it's under 15 and it's a great 1161 00:47:44,870 --> 00:47:41,610 example so let's delve into it so the 1162 00:47:48,530 --> 00:47:44,880 dream opens and the dreamer is observing 1163 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:48,540 in third person he sees a man who it 1164 00:47:52,070 --> 00:47:49,890 turns out looks a little bit like 1165 00:47:55,070 --> 00:47:52,080 himself but there's enough distance in 1166 00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:55,080 the dream for him to just observe and he 1167 00:48:00,200 --> 00:47:57,450 sees the man be abducted off of the 1168 00:48:03,650 --> 00:48:00,210 street by an alien who is in a human 1169 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:03,660 disguise the alien takes the man through 1170 00:48:09,110 --> 00:48:05,850 a storefront to the back of the store 1171 00:48:11,240 --> 00:48:09,120 and there he drops his pants and he 1172 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:11,250 reveals a fat bulb 1173 00:48:19,580 --> 00:48:14,810 sphyncter all right he compels the 1174 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:19,590 abductee to take his hand and put it 1175 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:22,290 inside of the sphincter and then his 1176 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:26,370 entire arm and then to well rock back 1177 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:29,610 and forth so as the man is compelled to 1178 00:48:38,390 --> 00:48:32,970 do this the alien starts to glow blue 1179 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:38,400 and moan and he's approaching orgasm the 1180 00:48:45,620 --> 00:48:41,330 man keeps fisting the alien and the 1181 00:48:48,260 --> 00:48:45,630 alien then like this blue light the 1182 00:48:51,170 --> 00:48:48,270 human disguise falls off of the alien 1183 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:51,180 kind of melts away and now the aid it's 1184 00:48:56,660 --> 00:48:54,090 full-blown alien the alien is moaning a 1185 00:49:00,800 --> 00:48:56,670 reaches orgasm and then the man the 1186 00:49:03,950 --> 00:49:00,810 abductee dies in horror and a flash of 1187 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:03,960 blue light so this was a real dream and 1188 00:49:12,710 --> 00:49:07,850 I help to interpret it at reddit and 1189 00:49:16,940 --> 00:49:12,720 this is what we came up with the man who 1190 00:49:20,330 --> 00:49:16,950 had the dream is a playwright and he has 1191 00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:20,340 been commissioned to write a play for a 1192 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:23,760 man who is a foreigner so now we have 1193 00:49:26,810 --> 00:49:24,810 our first clue 1194 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:26,820 foreigner alien could there be a 1195 00:49:33,980 --> 00:49:30,450 connection okay the second part is the 1196 00:49:38,060 --> 00:49:33,990 store front the store front in the dream 1197 00:49:41,390 --> 00:49:38,070 symbolizes the dreamers public work life 1198 00:49:43,850 --> 00:49:41,400 because a storefront is a public place 1199 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:43,860 that's related somehow to business and 1200 00:49:48,770 --> 00:49:46,290 work so the man's a playwright he's been 1201 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:48,780 commissioned by a foreigner and alien to 1202 00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:51,690 write a play so what does it mean to be 1203 00:49:59,270 --> 00:49:56,010 abducted well in this case it was that 1204 00:50:02,060 --> 00:49:59,280 the playwrights felt like he wouldn't 1205 00:50:04,370 --> 00:50:02,070 have been associated with this foreigner 1206 00:50:06,740 --> 00:50:04,380 and writing the play for this man unless 1207 00:50:08,359 --> 00:50:06,750 he needed to earn a buck so it's 1208 00:50:11,330 --> 00:50:08,369 something that he wouldn't be doing 1209 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:11,340 otherwise and his feelings about it are 1210 00:50:18,500 --> 00:50:15,090 shown graphically in the scene where the 1211 00:50:21,470 --> 00:50:18,510 abductee fists the alien what that 1212 00:50:25,340 --> 00:50:21,480 expresses is demands feeling that his 1213 00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:25,350 artistic creative side of himself feels 1214 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:27,810 like he is being compelled to do 1215 00:50:33,620 --> 00:50:30,570 something obscene for somebody else's 1216 00:50:36,980 --> 00:50:33,630 pleasure when you step back from that 1217 00:50:40,910 --> 00:50:36,990 scene and you simplify it that is what 1218 00:50:43,460 --> 00:50:40,920 it is saying he's compelled to do 1219 00:50:46,130 --> 00:50:43,470 something obscene for somebody else's 1220 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:46,140 pleasure now it's very subjectively 1221 00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:49,050 based someone else might say hey you 1222 00:50:52,910 --> 00:50:50,880 gotta earn a buck and if this guy's 1223 00:50:55,730 --> 00:50:52,920 willing to pay then you just you know 1224 00:50:58,040 --> 00:50:55,740 you dance to his tune well he said look 1225 00:51:00,260 --> 00:50:58,050 here's the thing the guy doesn't 1226 00:51:02,510 --> 00:51:00,270 understand our culture and he doesn't 1227 00:51:05,300 --> 00:51:02,520 understand playwright culture he has 1228 00:51:08,060 --> 00:51:05,310 this idea of what he wants and it's very 1229 00:51:10,490 --> 00:51:08,070 much outside of the norm I keep coming 1230 00:51:12,050 --> 00:51:10,500 to him with my best work and then he's 1231 00:51:13,940 --> 00:51:12,060 rejecting it and making all these 1232 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:13,950 changes and he's forcing me to go back 1233 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:16,650 and kind of dance to his tune this is 1234 00:51:22,550 --> 00:51:19,650 why he feels abducted another layer of 1235 00:51:24,500 --> 00:51:22,560 meaning to this is that he's forced to 1236 00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:24,510 do this guy's bidding this foreigner 1237 00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:28,290 this alien so the dye in horror as the 1238 00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:31,260 man orgasms it's just a very exaggerated 1239 00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:33,450 as the alien orgasms right and the man 1240 00:51:37,849 --> 00:51:35,730 who's abducted dies in horror this is 1241 00:51:41,090 --> 00:51:37,859 just a very exaggerated way of 1242 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:41,100 expressing the feelings of the man who 1243 00:51:45,180 --> 00:51:43,170 is the playwright who was forced to do 1244 00:51:48,310 --> 00:51:45,190 the bidding of the foreigner it 1245 00:51:50,740 --> 00:51:48,320 it's what one is it's very memorable but 1246 00:51:53,470 --> 00:51:50,750 two is even though it's exaggerated it 1247 00:51:55,870 --> 00:51:53,480 actually expresses how he feels I mean 1248 00:51:58,300 --> 00:51:55,880 he feels like he at any moment he could 1249 00:52:01,510 --> 00:51:58,310 kind of die in horror you know in the 1250 00:52:03,690 --> 00:52:01,520 Egret of exaggerated sense but there's a 1251 00:52:06,430 --> 00:52:03,700 side of him that is really just 1252 00:52:08,980 --> 00:52:06,440 horrified by what he's having to do and 1253 00:52:12,190 --> 00:52:08,990 he's doing it in order to be able to 1254 00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:12,200 just earn a buck so that right there is 1255 00:52:17,410 --> 00:52:14,930 a great example of a way that a dream 1256 00:52:20,470 --> 00:52:17,420 can use this sort of very shocking 1257 00:52:23,110 --> 00:52:20,480 sometimes you know even obscene imagery 1258 00:52:25,630 --> 00:52:23,120 to create a story around it and it's 1259 00:52:28,330 --> 00:52:25,640 very deeply meaningful in fact Sigmund 1260 00:52:30,910 --> 00:52:28,340 Freud said that these type of dreams 1261 00:52:33,540 --> 00:52:30,920 that are the most absurd and the most 1262 00:52:37,300 --> 00:52:33,550 outrageous can often be the most 1263 00:52:39,820 --> 00:52:37,310 revealing about the dreamer these are 1264 00:52:42,340 --> 00:52:39,830 the dreams that a dr. Freud says oh yes 1265 00:52:44,980 --> 00:52:42,350 tell me about that dream because we can 1266 00:52:46,870 --> 00:52:44,990 you know we can talk about this one for 1267 00:52:49,630 --> 00:52:46,880 hours you know there's a lot that we can 1268 00:52:51,610 --> 00:52:49,640 learn from this another reason why 1269 00:52:53,890 --> 00:52:51,620 people have alien abduction dreams 1270 00:52:55,660 --> 00:52:53,900 especially the ones that start off 1271 00:52:58,540 --> 00:52:55,670 there's a commonality to the 1272 00:53:02,560 --> 00:52:58,550 descriptions it starts off with I was 1273 00:53:04,900 --> 00:53:02,570 asleep I woke up and the UFO was out my 1274 00:53:07,690 --> 00:53:04,910 window I was floating off the ground or 1275 00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:07,700 the little gray guys were gathered 1276 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:09,890 around my bed and I look around and I 1277 00:53:15,100 --> 00:53:11,930 see them and they take me away this is 1278 00:53:18,070 --> 00:53:15,110 how these abduction reports often begin 1279 00:53:20,770 --> 00:53:18,080 and whenever I hear a UFO abduction 1280 00:53:23,830 --> 00:53:20,780 report that starts like that I think in 1281 00:53:26,380 --> 00:53:23,840 the back of my mind I really wonder 1282 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:26,390 whether what you experienced was sleep 1283 00:53:32,890 --> 00:53:29,690 paralysis the medical term for is called 1284 00:53:35,470 --> 00:53:32,900 REM atonia so REM is rapid eye movements 1285 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:35,480 and atonia means slackness of muscle and 1286 00:53:42,220 --> 00:53:38,690 what it happens is while you were 1287 00:53:45,100 --> 00:53:42,230 dreaming the signals traveling from your 1288 00:53:48,010 --> 00:53:45,110 brain down to the body through the 1289 00:53:49,450 --> 00:53:48,020 nervous system are muted some of it can 1290 00:53:51,970 --> 00:53:49,460 leak through a little bit like if you 1291 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:51,980 dream about running you might switch a 1292 00:53:56,170 --> 00:53:54,050 little bit in your legs or you dream 1293 00:53:57,700 --> 00:53:56,180 about punching something and you might 1294 00:53:58,330 --> 00:53:57,710 move your arms or something 1295 00:54:00,430 --> 00:53:58,340 when 1296 00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:00,440 people actually do start really kicking 1297 00:54:04,660 --> 00:54:02,570 their legs hard or punching hard and 1298 00:54:07,060 --> 00:54:04,670 they're dreaming about it that means 1299 00:54:09,550 --> 00:54:07,070 that there is something that signal is 1300 00:54:11,410 --> 00:54:09,560 no longer being muted and it's actually 1301 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:11,420 leaking through to the body and the body 1302 00:54:17,620 --> 00:54:14,930 is responding to what it's seeing in the 1303 00:54:20,470 --> 00:54:17,630 dream imagery so what happens in sleep 1304 00:54:25,300 --> 00:54:20,480 paralysis is you wake up and you are 1305 00:54:28,990 --> 00:54:25,310 still dreaming so what happens is 1306 00:54:30,970 --> 00:54:29,000 usually your dreaming mind responds to 1307 00:54:33,670 --> 00:54:30,980 what you are thinking and especially 1308 00:54:36,370 --> 00:54:33,680 what you are feeling right if you wake 1309 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:36,380 up in a state of sleep paralysis and you 1310 00:54:43,030 --> 00:54:38,690 don't know what the heck is going on a 1311 00:54:47,470 --> 00:54:43,040 common reaction is that you will either 1312 00:54:49,510 --> 00:54:47,480 go from fear to full-blown terror if you 1313 00:54:51,490 --> 00:54:49,520 go into a state of full-blown terror 1314 00:54:54,340 --> 00:54:51,500 while you are dreaming and your eyes are 1315 00:54:56,950 --> 00:54:54,350 open so your eyes are open but you are 1316 00:55:00,870 --> 00:54:56,960 still dreaming your dreams will pull 1317 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:00,880 into the deepest darkest nastiest well 1318 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:03,530 inside of you that it can as a full 1319 00:55:07,720 --> 00:55:05,810 imagery out of them for some people 1320 00:55:10,690 --> 00:55:07,730 their deepest darkest fears to be 1321 00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:10,700 abducted by aliens for other people it 1322 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:13,610 might be related to demons or Devils or 1323 00:55:18,550 --> 00:55:16,610 witches or something like that so when 1324 00:55:20,260 --> 00:55:18,560 you are in sleep paralysis your dreams 1325 00:55:22,660 --> 00:55:20,270 respond to what you're feeling and if 1326 00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:22,670 what you feel is heavy fear then your 1327 00:55:28,510 --> 00:55:24,710 dreams will create imagery in response 1328 00:55:31,690 --> 00:55:28,520 to it and there is a study that suggests 1329 00:55:34,740 --> 00:55:31,700 that many abduction experiences are 1330 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:34,750 actually resulting from sleep paralysis 1331 00:55:38,980 --> 00:55:37,610 yeah sleep paralysis is a weird one man 1332 00:55:41,620 --> 00:55:38,990 I've always thought that was pretty 1333 00:55:44,260 --> 00:55:41,630 fascinating I know a few people who are 1334 00:55:45,940 --> 00:55:44,270 pretty hardcore materialist you really 1335 00:55:48,070 --> 00:55:45,950 don't have any interest in the 1336 00:55:49,380 --> 00:55:48,080 paranormal or anything strange and 1337 00:55:52,060 --> 00:55:49,390 they've had some sleep paralysis 1338 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:52,070 experiences that you know made them do a 1339 00:55:56,770 --> 00:55:55,010 180 on some of that stuff and I also 1340 00:55:59,560 --> 00:55:56,780 want to ask you on the subject of major 1341 00:56:01,900 --> 00:55:59,570 symbols that people see in dreams let me 1342 00:56:04,390 --> 00:56:01,910 ask you about animals because we know 1343 00:56:06,490 --> 00:56:04,400 animals as symbols is the common motif 1344 00:56:08,230 --> 00:56:06,500 for a lot of cultures other ones that 1345 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:08,240 appear most commonly in dreams or 1346 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:10,490 animals to symbols or less ambiguous 1347 00:56:14,590 --> 00:56:12,290 than others 1348 00:56:17,140 --> 00:56:14,600 there are you know the animals that 1349 00:56:19,030 --> 00:56:17,150 appear most often in my experience are 1350 00:56:20,980 --> 00:56:19,040 the animals that are closest to us so 1351 00:56:23,050 --> 00:56:20,990 it's probably going to be our pets or 1352 00:56:25,180 --> 00:56:23,060 something that is presented as a pet and 1353 00:56:27,820 --> 00:56:25,190 it's going to be that type of animal so 1354 00:56:31,450 --> 00:56:27,830 you're talking about dogs cats birds and 1355 00:56:33,910 --> 00:56:31,460 maybe fish and lizards but let's just 1356 00:56:37,030 --> 00:56:33,920 stick to dogs and cats right now you 1357 00:56:40,060 --> 00:56:37,040 know dreams begin with the things that 1358 00:56:42,070 --> 00:56:40,070 we associate with the imagery in the 1359 00:56:45,010 --> 00:56:42,080 dream the symbol in the dream it begins 1360 00:56:47,940 --> 00:56:45,020 there and then it works based off the 1361 00:56:51,100 --> 00:56:47,950 create symbolism around our associations 1362 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:51,110 so what that means is when you think of 1363 00:56:57,460 --> 00:56:54,290 a dog you are going to have certain 1364 00:56:59,110 --> 00:56:57,470 thoughts that come to mind right away it 1365 00:57:01,270 --> 00:56:59,120 could be how you feel about dogs right 1366 00:57:03,370 --> 00:57:01,280 now it could be how you feel about dogs 1367 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:03,380 in general there could be how you feel 1368 00:57:08,830 --> 00:57:06,050 about a specific dog like if you are a 1369 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:08,840 dog lover and you're you know beautiful 1370 00:57:14,370 --> 00:57:11,210 golden retriever is sitting there next 1371 00:57:17,530 --> 00:57:14,380 to you you might bring up words in 1372 00:57:19,090 --> 00:57:17,540 association with dogs that are how you 1373 00:57:22,810 --> 00:57:19,100 feel about your retriever 1374 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:22,820 you know loyal friend companion for 1375 00:57:28,630 --> 00:57:26,210 other people it might be Guardian but if 1376 00:57:31,150 --> 00:57:28,640 you were kept up all night by your 1377 00:57:35,380 --> 00:57:31,160 neighbors barking dog then you might 1378 00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:35,390 describe a dog as a nuisance or as you 1379 00:57:40,420 --> 00:57:37,850 know I want to kill the damn thing so 1380 00:57:42,190 --> 00:57:40,430 your dreams will begin with your 1381 00:57:44,620 --> 00:57:42,200 associations and then it will build 1382 00:57:47,890 --> 00:57:44,630 stories around it and you can see those 1383 00:57:50,890 --> 00:57:47,900 associations at work in how the dog is 1384 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:50,900 presented in the story how it looks and 1385 00:57:58,240 --> 00:57:55,490 how it acts I find that probably the 1386 00:58:02,140 --> 00:57:58,250 most common Association for dogs and 1387 00:58:05,740 --> 00:58:02,150 dreams is with friendship the dog will 1388 00:58:08,380 --> 00:58:05,750 represent the subject of friendship or a 1389 00:58:11,230 --> 00:58:08,390 specific friend I'll give you a quick 1390 00:58:14,170 --> 00:58:11,240 example there was a guy who came to the 1391 00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:14,180 reddit forum and he was very disturbed 1392 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:16,730 by a dream that he had he said that 1393 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:18,890 there was this dog that was being all 1394 00:58:22,870 --> 00:58:21,170 friendly and following him around and he 1395 00:58:25,690 --> 00:58:22,880 decided that he didn't want the dog 1396 00:58:26,170 --> 00:58:25,700 around anymore so he tells the dog to go 1397 00:58:28,810 --> 00:58:26,180 away 1398 00:58:31,270 --> 00:58:28,820 the dog is like oh no he knows like not 1399 00:58:34,090 --> 00:58:31,280 getting the hint so he says he pulls out 1400 00:58:36,370 --> 00:58:34,100 a gun and he shoots the dog and the dog 1401 00:58:38,590 --> 00:58:36,380 then still doesn't get the hint the dog 1402 00:58:41,590 --> 00:58:38,600 doesn't die it still kind of fall on rum 1403 00:58:44,620 --> 00:58:41,600 so he pulls out some bigger weaponry and 1404 00:58:47,050 --> 00:58:44,630 fires that at the dog and keeps going 1405 00:58:50,710 --> 00:58:47,060 and dog is just sort of unfazed by all 1406 00:58:53,890 --> 00:58:50,720 of us so he comes to the forum and he 1407 00:58:56,470 --> 00:58:53,900 says man am i some kind of you know is 1408 00:58:58,510 --> 00:58:56,480 there some deep dark side of me lurking 1409 00:59:01,210 --> 00:58:58,520 behind the scenes that I don't know 1410 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:01,220 about you know I'm this cruel animal 1411 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:03,290 killer or whatever and I said okay well 1412 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:05,090 first of all you need to understand that 1413 00:59:11,020 --> 00:59:08,090 the dream imagery is symbolic it's 1414 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:11,030 figurative it's telling a story 1415 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:13,490 don't take the imagery literally no 1416 00:59:18,790 --> 00:59:16,010 matter how shocking the imagery is it's 1417 00:59:21,370 --> 00:59:18,800 not making a moral statement about you 1418 00:59:23,380 --> 00:59:21,380 there are a few exceptions to that rule 1419 00:59:26,650 --> 00:59:23,390 where dreams kind of create scenarios 1420 00:59:29,410 --> 00:59:26,660 like the holodeck in Star Trek and they 1421 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:29,420 can help you to realize what you really 1422 00:59:35,290 --> 00:59:32,450 think and feel but most dreams you've 1423 00:59:37,150 --> 00:59:35,300 got to strip out that literal 1424 00:59:39,130 --> 00:59:37,160 interpretation of the imagery and you 1425 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:39,140 have to look at it as symbolism as 1426 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:42,050 figurative in this case what we traced 1427 00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:46,130 it back to is the guy has somebody who 1428 00:59:50,140 --> 00:59:49,040 you might call a friend who is sort of 1429 00:59:53,740 --> 00:59:50,150 this hanger-on 1430 00:59:55,420 --> 00:59:53,750 and he has gotten tired of her and he 1431 00:59:59,050 --> 00:59:55,430 decided that he was going to start 1432 01:00:02,380 --> 00:59:59,060 dropping hints that says bug out so he 1433 01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:02,390 did that and the girl the friend's 1434 01:00:08,290 --> 01:00:05,330 supposed friend did not get the hint 1435 01:00:11,140 --> 01:00:08,300 so he started getting a little meaner 1436 01:00:12,700 --> 01:00:11,150 and a little nastier and she just it was 1437 01:00:15,850 --> 01:00:12,710 just going right over her head she 1438 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:15,860 wasn't getting it so in the action of 1439 01:00:20,890 --> 01:00:18,770 him shooting the dog and then pulling 1440 01:00:23,290 --> 01:00:20,900 out heavier and heavier weapons to shoot 1441 01:00:24,790 --> 01:00:23,300 the dog and the dog does not die and 1442 01:00:27,310 --> 01:00:24,800 just keeps following him around all 1443 01:00:29,020 --> 01:00:27,320 friendly like is really describing the 1444 01:00:32,050 --> 01:00:29,030 situation with the person that he's 1445 01:00:34,030 --> 01:00:32,060 trying to get rid of so that's how you 1446 01:00:37,030 --> 01:00:34,040 take an imagery like that and you break 1447 01:00:38,980 --> 01:00:37,040 it down with animals you can often we 1448 01:00:39,700 --> 01:00:38,990 talked about associations but you can 1449 01:00:42,790 --> 01:00:39,710 also 1450 01:00:46,599 --> 01:00:42,800 about the qualities of the animal the 1451 01:00:48,550 --> 01:00:46,609 ways that they are used in stories even 1452 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:48,560 in cartoons and stuff like that because 1453 01:00:52,900 --> 01:00:50,570 animals are often shown as being human 1454 01:00:57,220 --> 01:00:52,910 life you know and stories like say you 1455 01:00:58,900 --> 01:00:57,230 know The Lion King or the movie ants now 1456 01:01:01,150 --> 01:00:58,910 we've taken this creature and we've 1457 01:01:03,460 --> 01:01:01,160 given it a life and if you are taking in 1458 01:01:05,829 --> 01:01:03,470 that kind of media or you also see it a 1459 01:01:09,070 --> 01:01:05,839 lot my commercials and stuff well now 1460 01:01:11,620 --> 01:01:09,080 you have a really wide set or base of 1461 01:01:16,150 --> 01:01:11,630 associations and ideas that could be 1462 01:01:19,599 --> 01:01:16,160 used to talk about human stories but 1463 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:19,609 using animals to symbolize it like take 1464 01:01:24,750 --> 01:01:21,890 the fact that birds fly well what could 1465 01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:24,760 flying represent well how about freedom 1466 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:28,310 how about the fact that birds were used 1467 01:01:32,710 --> 01:01:31,130 as messengers I mean there there are no 1468 01:01:35,740 --> 01:01:32,720 more carrier pigeons that we know about 1469 01:01:37,930 --> 01:01:35,750 but birds were used as messengers so 1470 01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:37,940 they can be messages from the 1471 01:01:43,570 --> 01:01:41,270 subconscious side of the mind it can be 1472 01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:43,580 something that says hey are you getting 1473 01:01:49,300 --> 01:01:45,890 the message and if you aren't maybe the 1474 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:49,310 bird then attacks you and what it really 1475 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:51,650 represents is that there is something 1476 01:01:56,290 --> 01:01:54,050 inside of you that is saying hey hey 1477 01:01:58,810 --> 01:01:56,300 give me your attention here hey you're 1478 01:02:01,210 --> 01:01:58,820 you're trying to ignore me and the more 1479 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:01,220 you ignore me the more I am going to get 1480 01:02:06,339 --> 01:02:03,650 insistent that you pay attention to me 1481 01:02:09,010 --> 01:02:06,349 so that that's what a bird especially a 1482 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:09,020 black crow and I find that a lot you 1483 01:02:14,050 --> 01:02:11,930 know the the black crow dream and it 1484 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:14,060 makes you feel really creepy and it's 1485 01:02:18,460 --> 01:02:16,010 because the crow represents a message 1486 01:02:20,770 --> 01:02:18,470 from the dark side of your mind dark 1487 01:02:21,550 --> 01:02:20,780 meaning outside of your conscious 1488 01:02:24,010 --> 01:02:21,560 awareness 1489 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:24,020 so yeah animals are one that I would 1490 01:02:29,020 --> 01:02:26,930 include Greg with that list that we were 1491 01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:29,030 making of common dream symbols because 1492 01:02:34,210 --> 01:02:31,490 they really do come up a lot and I think 1493 01:02:37,329 --> 01:02:34,220 it's because there is this great variety 1494 01:02:39,700 --> 01:02:37,339 a of animals in be the association's 1495 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:39,710 that we have with those animals that can 1496 01:02:42,990 --> 01:02:41,810 be used to create symbolism and tell 1497 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:43,000 stories 1498 01:02:49,180 --> 01:02:45,530 absolutely man and there's definitely a 1499 01:02:51,940 --> 01:02:49,190 ton of very potent symbols when it comes 1500 01:02:53,450 --> 01:02:51,950 to animals bears owls snakes there's 1501 01:02:56,089 --> 01:02:53,460 just a ton of them and 1502 01:02:57,140 --> 01:02:56,099 well right on this has been a fun time 1503 01:02:59,660 --> 01:02:57,150 for sure 1504 01:03:01,640 --> 01:02:59,670 I think dreaming and sleep in general or 1505 01:03:03,109 --> 01:03:01,650 things we kind of take for granted and 1506 01:03:04,940 --> 01:03:03,119 dreams are often such personal 1507 01:03:06,349 --> 01:03:04,950 experiences you can never really do them 1508 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:06,359 justice when you try to tell other 1509 01:03:10,220 --> 01:03:08,730 people and a lot of times we're just 1510 01:03:12,170 --> 01:03:10,230 stuck with this weirdness to deal with 1511 01:03:14,180 --> 01:03:12,180 alone so hopefully this was interesting 1512 01:03:17,180 --> 01:03:14,190 and maybe even therapeutic for some 1513 01:03:19,310 --> 01:03:17,190 people and last but not least before we 1514 01:03:21,380 --> 01:03:19,320 go tell the people where they can follow 1515 01:03:23,150 --> 01:03:21,390 up with you or dig deeper into your work 1516 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:23,160 since we know this wasn't going to be 1517 01:03:27,620 --> 01:03:25,770 enough well of course you know I have 1518 01:03:29,540 --> 01:03:27,630 the dream interpretation dictionary 1519 01:03:31,579 --> 01:03:29,550 symbol signs and meanings it's on the 1520 01:03:33,589 --> 01:03:31,589 market right now it's at places like you 1521 01:03:36,349 -->

details together you apply 1535 01:04:15,589 --> 01:04:12,089 you look for storytelling devices such 1536 01:04:17,300 --> 01:04:15,599 as metaphors puns analogies you can do 1537 01:04:19,190 --> 01:04:17,310 these different techniques once you have 1538 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:19,200 them down man you can do it in five 1539 01:04:24,380 --> 01:04:21,690 minutes I kid you not now it might take 1540 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:24,390 you a few hours the first time to really 1541 01:04:28,070 --> 01:04:26,250 read through and digest everything but 1542 01:04:30,470 --> 01:04:28,080 once you have that base of knowledge you 1543 01:04:33,079 --> 01:04:30,480 can get in and then start to use the 1544 01:04:35,599 --> 01:04:33,089 dictionary you wake up from a dream and 1545 01:04:37,430 --> 01:04:35,609 it was a zombie it was an alien it was 1546 01:04:39,109 --> 01:04:37,440 your ex you know you dream you're 1547 01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:39,119 getting married you're driving in your 1548 01:04:43,250 --> 01:04:41,130 car you're building a home you know 1549 01:04:45,829 --> 01:04:43,260 you're in school you're standing there 1550 01:04:48,020 --> 01:04:45,839 naked you're flying you're falling you 1551 01:04:51,079 --> 01:04:48,030 know you're being chased whatever it is 1552 01:04:53,150 --> 01:04:51,089 that there are symbolic possibilities 1553 01:04:56,450 --> 01:04:53,160 for all of these things and I go into 1554 01:04:59,180 --> 01:04:56,460 real depth in detail about this I don't 1555 01:05:00,680 --> 01:04:59,190 just give the standard you know one to 1556 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:00,690 three sentence or two or three 1557 01:05:05,510 --> 01:05:03,330 paragraphs even I can really go into 1558 01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:05,520 depth and I approach most of the symbols 1559 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:07,290 almost like writing a little 1560 01:05:13,460 --> 01:05:10,410 essays I want to teach you how to figure 1561 01:05:16,220 --> 01:05:13,470 out this for yourself the thing that 1562 01:05:18,650 --> 01:05:16,230 annoys the crap out of me about dream 1563 01:05:21,110 --> 01:05:18,660 dictionaries is they will just give you 1564 01:05:23,450 --> 01:05:21,120 the definition but they don't tell you 1565 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:23,460 how they reached that conclusion you 1566 01:05:27,170 --> 01:05:25,290 know like oh I had a dream that I had 1567 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:27,180 crazy frizzy hair you know when you look 1568 01:05:30,350 --> 01:05:28,530 it up in the dream dictionary and it 1569 01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:30,360 says your thoughts are disordered and 1570 01:05:35,540 --> 01:05:33,570 you go oh okay well why well because 1571 01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:35,550 hair grows from your head 1572 01:05:39,740 --> 01:05:37,050 and your thoughts grow from your head 1573 01:05:41,900 --> 01:05:39,750 and now you look at crazy frizzy you 1574 01:05:43,910 --> 01:05:41,910 know and hair grows out it's an 1575 01:05:46,700 --> 01:05:43,920 extension of something like thoughts are 1576 01:05:48,770 --> 01:05:46,710 extensions out of the head you know and 1577 01:05:50,930 --> 01:05:48,780 you go okay well that makes sense most 1578 01:05:52,850 --> 01:05:50,940 dream dictionaries don't explain how 1579 01:05:56,270 --> 01:05:52,860 they reach their conclusions they just 1580 01:05:58,910 --> 01:05:56,280 give you the information so I wanted to 1581 01:06:01,580 --> 01:05:58,920 always at every point where I could 1582 01:06:04,580 --> 01:06:01,590 explain how do I reach these conclusions 1583 01:06:07,070 --> 01:06:04,590 how do I teach you to do it for yourself 1584 01:06:10,100 --> 01:06:07,080 how do I teach you to look at your 1585 01:06:11,930 --> 01:06:10,110 dreams as stories told through symbolism 1586 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:11,940 that are helping you to learn and grow 1587 01:06:16,820 --> 01:06:13,650 that there is meaning and significance 1588 01:06:18,650 --> 01:06:16,830 that the

1711 01:11:10,709 --> 01:11:07,960 broke him in to his first game of beer 1712 01:11:12,810 --> 01:11:10,719 pong believe it or not and I was 1713 01:11:15,689 --> 01:11:12,820 definitely the one that brought down our 1714 01:11:17,729 --> 01:11:15,699 team I also have a friend Mark who can 1715 01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:17,739 be a bit of a bullshitter but he's also 1716 01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:21,250 a level two sommelier you know a wine 1717 01:11:27,390 --> 01:11:25,330 guy back home and to hear him and Gordon 1718 01:11:30,030 --> 01:11:27,400 wasted talking about wines from around 1719 01:11:31,649 --> 01:11:30,040 the world was just hilarious for me and 1720 01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:31,659 Gordon thought it was hilarious that 1721 01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:33,730 mark does have all this knowledge of the 1722 01:11:38,879 --> 01:11:36,010 world's wines but has zero desire to 1723 01:11:42,209 --> 01:11:38,889 travel and he's just a character and it 1724 01:11:44,879 --> 01:11:42,219 was a lot of fun all around the 1725 01:11:47,790 --> 01:11:44,889 honeymoon in Tulum was excellent Mayan 1726 01:11:48,569 --> 01:11:47,800 ruins right on the beach huge iguanas 1727 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:48,579 crawling all 1728 01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:51,010 over the place we snorkeled in the 1729 01:11:56,699 --> 01:11:54,489 cenotes which are like caves of water we 1730 01:11:59,099 --> 01:11:56,709 got into one with hundreds of bats and 1731 01:12:00,389 --> 01:11:59,109 of course a nice oil slick of bat [\h__\h] 1732 01:12:02,270 --> 01:12:00,399 on the surface of the water that I 1733 01:12:05,459 --> 01:12:02,280 couldn't get past to fully enjoy myself 1734 01:12:08,429 --> 01:12:05,469 we snorkel doubt in the reef in the 1735 01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:08,439 ocean and saw these huge sea turtles 1736 01:12:12,959 --> 01:12:10,449 like inches from us and we saw a big 1737 01:12:15,359 --> 01:12:12,969 manta ray it was pretty incredible I 1738 01:12:17,310 --> 01:12:15,369 didn't get to swim with dolphins because 1739 01:12:19,349 --> 01:12:17,320 apparently they were out of season near 1740 01:12:22,889 --> 01:12:19,359 the reef and I guess the only option was 1741 01:12:26,129 --> 01:12:22,899 some semi tame or enclosed dolphin place 1742 01:12:27,089 --> 01:12:26,139 and I didn't want to do it like that but 1743 01:12:30,810 --> 01:12:27,099 I could not have asked for a better 1744 01:12:33,029 --> 01:12:30,820 break a better time or a better wife and 1745 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:33,039 I recorded this show actually before I 1746 01:12:37,229 --> 01:12:34,570 left but there just wasn't enough time 1747 01:12:39,419 --> 01:12:37,239 to get it edited beforehand so I'm 1748 01:12:41,909 --> 01:12:39,429 getting it out now and I also did some 1749 01:12:43,859 --> 01:12:41,919 fixing on the broken feed so make sure 1750 01:12:46,109 --> 01:12:43,869 you refresh them and they should update 1751 01:12:48,659 --> 01:12:46,119 and I'm still in the process of moving 1752 01:12:50,699 --> 01:12:48,669 apartments too we didn't think we were 1753 01:12:52,770 --> 01:12:50,709 busy enough in July I guess so we also 1754 01:12:54,719 --> 01:12:52,780 decided to move across town or back to 1755 01:12:57,169 --> 01:12:54,729 Pacific Beach because I could not stand 1756 01:12:59,849 --> 01:12:57,179 being under the airport flight path 1757 01:13:01,649 --> 01:12:59,859 every once in a while and THC episodes 1758 01:13:06,889 --> 01:13:01,659 you can hear a plane flying over and 1759 01:13:08,719 --> 01:13:06,899 it's just annoying and it's finally gone 1760 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:08,729 I've got two more days to finish moving 1761 01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:11,010 and two more days to hit you with at 1762 01:13:16,639 --> 01:13:13,530 least one more show for July and I will 1763 01:13:18,799 --> 01:13:16,649 tell you I recorded it also before I 1764 01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:18,809 left and it's exciting it's the return 1765 01:13:24,649 --> 01:13:21,449 of a pretty popular guest Tracy Twyman 1766 01:13:27,799 --> 01:13:24,659 so we have a pretty nice calm light one 1767 01:13:30,159 --> 01:13:27,809 today about dreams

I 1787 01:14:14,899 --> 01:14:12,149 actually learned and I can't put them on 1788 01:14:18,109 --> 01:14:14,909 blast but two friends that were hanging 1789 01:14:21,259 --> 01:14:18,119 out the wedding week actually started 1790 01:14:25,100 --> 01:14:21,269 talking about abduction dreams that they 1791 01:14:26,750 --> 01:14:25,110 have recurring ones and it was just 1792 01:14:28,939 --> 01:14:26,760 really interesting to see these two 1793 01:14:32,029 --> 01:14:28,949 people from totally separate areas of my 1794 01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:32,039 life and one's describing oh I have 1795 01:14:35,359 --> 01:14:33,570 these shadow figures and they're the 1796 01:14:36,830 --> 01:14:35,369 edge of my bed and then I have to look 1797 01:14:38,810 --> 01:14:36,840 over at them and write when I look at 1798 01:14:41,029 --> 01:14:38,820 them that's when they rush me and the 1799 01:14:42,350 --> 01:14:41,039 other dudes like yep yep absolutely and 1800 01:14:44,270 --> 01:14:42,360 then does this happen he's like yeah 1801 01:14:46,759 --> 01:14:44,280 yeah yeah and then does that happen and 1802 01:14:49,279 --> 01:14:46,769 I was like holy [\h__\h] I've known these 1803 01:14:51,229 --> 01:14:49,289 guys for a while didn't necessarily know 1804 01:14:53,509 --> 01:14:51,239 that they were having these kind of 1805 01:14:55,399 --> 01:14:53,519 dreams but one of them does listen to 1806 01:14:57,290 --> 01:14:55,409 THC and he's one of the few friends of 1807 01:14:59,989 --> 01:14:57,300 mine from high school that actually does 1808 01:15:02,689 --> 01:14:59,999 so maybe there's a connection there he's 1809 01:15:04,759 --> 01:15:02,699 down with the weirdness for sure but 1810 01:15:07,759 --> 01:15:04,769 I've now recently learned three people 1811 01:15:10,369 --> 01:15:07,769 close to me have routine abduction 1812 01:15:13,129 --> 01:15:10,379 dreams and that's just crazy 1813 01:15:15,799 --> 01:15:13,139 you think you know a guy right and you 1814 01:15:17,810 --> 01:15:15,809 just never ask I have another friend who 1815 01:15:20,479 --> 01:15:17,820 I also can't put on blast you won't go 1816 01:15:22,459 --> 01:15:20,489 see alien movies 1817 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:22,469 and I didn't really understand why and 1818 01:15:25,910 --> 01:15:24,570 then I found out he had an experience 1819 01:15:28,700 --> 01:15:25,920 that he don't even want to talk about 1820 01:15:33,009 --> 01:15:28,710 but he also won't go see any alien 1821 01:15:35,810 --> 01:15:33,019 themed movies because of that so pretty 1822 01:15:37,399 --> 01:15:35,820 all-encompassing episode in terms of 1823 01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:37,409 dreams if you think there's something we 1824 01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:38,730 didn't get to in the first hour we 1825
