Grief Dreams of the Deceased (Part 2 of 2)

Leave a comment

Do children understand death the way adults do?

 

Bereavement is a natural process that we all go through but one can only wonder whether part of it is our own fear of the unknown … the “where do we end up after our mortal time allotment has transpired?” To the more spiritual among us, once we become gifted with the miracle of consciousness, it  transports to a different venue following our physical death– one many of us refer to as heaven — with it’s own set of experiences and realities. 

The question then becomes — can dreams of the deceased help ease our melancholy? To our speaker tonight, Joshua Black, the answer is “yes”. But how, exactly? Listen as he shares fascinating instances of how dreams help us reconceptualize our own notions of mortality.

Leave a comment

Ryan Hurd discusses Sleep Paralysis phenomena with The Unnormal Paranormal Podcast

Ryan Hurd, consciousness researcher and author of Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night, describes the terrifying notion of nightmares visually manifesting while we are waking! Also covered: night terrors and out of body experiences

With degrees in archeology and Consciousness Studies, Ryan’s aim is to “help bring about a new dreaming culture that integrates the best of 21st century thought with the intuitive ways of knowing prized by our ancestors: dreams, visions and imagination”.

His authored works include Dream Like a Boss (Books 1 and 2), and Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night. He also co-edited, with Kelly Bulkeley, the two volume reference edition “Lucid Dreaming: New Perspectives on Consciousness in Sleep.”

As an educator, Ryan has presented to a wide range of audiences, including invited lectures for TEDMED, Stanford University, the Institute of Buddhist Studies, and the Rhine Institute.
