Thanks for sharing that, Evil Twin of Zen. There has to be more to (some) dreams than just random mind-wanderings.

A few years ago a girl I went to high school with died unexpectedly in a car accident. She was driving down a winding country road, wandered into the other lane during a curve, and was killed instantly in a head-on collision. During this time frame I was very interested about what happens after death, so I decided to try and meditate to try and connect with her soul and basically go through exactly what happened in the minutes leading up to the crash, and to see if I could get any insight into what happens to the soul afterward. So I laid there, in a trance basically, imagining every detail. When I got to the exact moment of the crash, on the freeway adjacent to my then-apartment, an actual crash occurred simultaneously. The sound of squealing tires, broken glass, etc. I got up immediately to check outside, but I couldn't see anything because they recently put up a sound wall. I did hear a man screaming for help, though, and ambulance sirens shortly after. Later I found out the man who had the crash was drunk, and rolled his car several times. He was uninjured and no one else was involved either, fortunately.

After that experience I turned my back on the paranormal for a very long time. Whether it was a coincidence, or I somehow conjured something by attempting to communicate with the dead, I don't  know. I still obviously want to know what happens after death, but I won't seek out the information the same way again. No point tempting fate.

I remember a few years ago a woman called in and was talking about a sexual fantasy (it may have even been about George. Barf.) and he became increasingly flustered as she talked about getting naked, etc. He disconnected her also. He said something about Coast to Coast being a "family show". Please.

I don't mean to compare sexual fantasies to rape, just showing the comparison of George's freezing reaction and inability to handle uncomfortable subjects. A host with better abilities would be able to get to the bottom line of their call sooner, or cut them off at the pass when he sensed which road they were going down.

Do a google search for "steve Gibson vitamin d" and listen to that episode of his podcast. Fascinating. I now take vitamin d daily.

Thanks, I will check it out.

i've also heard it said somewhere that just taking lots of vitamins only produces expensive urine.

This is true in a lot of cases. Most vitamin deficiencies can be rectified through diet, which is the best way for absorption. With some exceptions, of course.

I wanted to see if anyone has had any experiences communicating through dreams with people. Deceased or otherwise.

I have had a few experiences of repeatedly dreaming of someone I hadn't seen in years, and shortly afterward reconnecting. It's not very earth-shattering, but it does make me wonder if there is such a thing as telepathic communications.

I've also dreamt of a friend who died unexpectedly. For the next two anniversaries of his death, he appeared in dreams with no particular message. When I started to realize he was dead he would disappear.

I'm sure some of you have far more interesting stories and I'd love to hear them. Is it all in the mind or something more?

Yeah 66 is definitely NOT old. Especially in radio land. That's far too young to be put out to pasture.

Try working around the senior population. 85+ is when they start to seem old, and that's not all of them.

Linus Pauling and Robert Cathcart's research on the Vitamin C subject is really fascinating for anyone interested.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Also, vitamin D research has shown some promising results.

Yes, what Marc said. I mostly meant people who use those products in lieu of actual medical treatment, or even as a preventative measure. Like all these claims that apple cider vinegar flushes the toxins from your body, lifts your mood, gives you energy, aids weight-loss, etc. It's just not true. I guess it can cause weight loss by making you feel full, and not eating. It can also destroy your teeth and cause an ulcer if you drink too much of it undiluted.

About the colloidal silver -- I read an article a while ago that was titled something like "Colloidal Silver: All Risk, No Benefit".

Maybe it's just the typical Oregon granola mindset I'm surrounded by, but I feel this mentality is everywhere and it's frustrating.

I've seen people drink this stuff like it was water.  They could become a candidate for the blue man group.

It can derive from a mental pathology whereby anything "mainstream" is suspect, and anything "fringe" is somehow more effective.

Let's call it the "Snakeoil Pathology". 

I like it. And you're right, it usually goes hand in hand with people who think mainstream medicine is all a conspiracy, fluoride is used to placate the masses, and vaccines cause autism (which they would never accept for their own children yet are happy to benefit from near-eradication of diseases on the backs of everyone else's children).

i feel a new thread coming on ... George-ograph.  it's about geographical locations that have been confused (by George of course) because they sound similar or whatever.  because there are no coincidences.  even if it's a complete coincidence

It's synchronicity. Duh.

Why do people buy into the bullshit of health food store supplementations? Bee pollen, apple cider vinegar, chlorophyll (powdered greens), royal jelly, chelation, kombucha tea, colloidal silver, algae, etc. You can't have a rational conversation with proponents of this quackery. Even though most of these products have had little to no research to back up the often extraordinary claims. And some are deadly, like colloidal silver. I just don't get it. What's the pathology of these people? 
#223
I love your posts, HAL. Why would the aforementioned women on other forums need to rip you a new one? Everything you said regarding breastfeeding seems very reasonable and not inflammatory at all. I think it must be what Anagrammy mentioned -- the need for ownership over all things female health-related. That's too bad, because they are selling themselves short.

Wow. Is he wearing a straight jacket? A Hannibal Lecter mask? Are they talking to slowly so he can understand?

I just rewatched the clip. He managed to bring up the killing of millions in Iraq, building 7, banks bankrupting the US, and compared George Bush to Gadhafi/Kadhafi/Qaddafi. 

In other news: Alex Jones has a wife! The most shocking thing of all.

I was coming here to post this.  Good Lord Almighty.  Is this a colossal joke or, as George would say, another sign that 2012 is coming?

Here's an article about his trip to The View, including a clip: http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/02/28/alex-jones-charlie-sheen-the-view/

I love how he kept plugging his website as Barbara tried to do the lockout for commercial break. The other women just rolled their eyes or glared at the floor.

Whoever booked him should've done their research. He is crazier than Charlie Sheen could ever be.

Thanks, b_dubb.

This link breaks down the best parts of what he said plus an audio link if you care to listen to it.

This is probably the most mainstream attention Alex Jones has ever gotten. Who knew all he had to do was sell out Charlie Sheen?!

The one that is danDNA's (I believe) avatar. I laughed so hard the first few times of seeing that thing.

I have been disillusioned since it became so commonplace and acceptable to be into the paranormal. Like all these shows on the Discovery Channel, etc. I'm tired of the lame-ass factor. Any dweeb can get a nightvision camera and a hodgepodge group of "investigators" and they have a show. There's nothing mysterious about it.

Did anyone catch his interview with Charlie Sheen? It got Two and a Half Men's production suspended, apparently. That show should have been axed years ago. Anyway, Charlie Sheen is clearly out of his gourd.

I don't like Bill Handel's shrill, whiny voice on Handel on the Law. On his morning show he sounds different.

No, she was diagnosed as having a complex migraine. Poor thing.

why do these paranormal web sites look like they were designed in the mid to late nineties?  ewwwwww


Seriously. It looks like one of those geocities websites from like '97. Only they probably had more interesting content.

Doesn't this sound like an allusion to Coast to Coast AM?


"At this point my baby is just starting out in life but I fully
understand that one day my baby will get older and make
her own way in the World, no doubt doing things I do not
agree with or sanction in any way.

That is life, babies never stay babies as much as we would like them to, they grow
and find their own way and even if we do not like the path
they have chosen we have to get out of the way and let
them make their own mistakes, much as it may hurt to watch.


All we can really do is our very best in trying to point them
in the right direction and hope.

It does not always work out
as we had dreamed and at the right time we have to let go."


Wow. Good call.

I found it in an archive listed at the above google groups link.

It was in one of the above but I am literally walking out the door at moment. If you haven't found it I will search again later when I get home.

good luck,
Andy

thank you! I will definitely check that out. Shadow people intrigue me as well.
