There’s method to the madness…

Thanks Greg & Kat

Quote of the Day:

If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.

  1. Trolls In Sweden
    This story was a tad synchromistic for me since I was just last night rereading J. Vallee’s “Passport To Magonia” which is the classic refernce for this category of forteana. I just idly plucked it from my living room bookshelf late last night and was immediatley re-impressed with what a fine book this is. Most TDGrailers are probably familiar with “Passport,” but for anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of reading this it is highly recommended by most everyone no matter what their orientation is to the subject. The scholarship is just outstanding. This book set the bar for UFO research and the historical UFO and associated weirdness.

  3. Dream control
    The article on manipulating dreams was a tad synchronistic for myself. I have a recurring experience in dreams where I become somewhat lucid of the dream, and immediately I am aware of a presence. I am approached by a darkly cloaked and hooded figure, and overcome by an overwhelming sense of terror and of being possessed. I wake up almost immediately at this point, but the sensations linger for a moment until I can gain my bearings. Well, this occurred last night, but upon waking I was left with a different sensation. I wondered this time at the source of that fear, rather than trying to quickly brush it aside to get back to sleep. I had assumed the fear was a product of some malicious intent on the part of the presence. If I could master that fear and approach the presence openly how might the encounter have played out differently?

    At the same time, the fear in these dreams seems to stem from experiencing a lack of control. It stands to reason that trying to manipulate the dream in order to regain control might be counter-productive. In my opinion, at least for this experience, it seems more productive to be open to the dream and to control my own emotional response rather than trying to script or ‘control’ the dream itself.
