Paranormal Engineering Corps

To help with the lucid dreaming I got a little amethyst cat crystal. I named him Tutu after the Egyptian god and protector of sleepers. Cats are half in, half out of this world. My thought was that if I see a purple cat in my dream, I would know I’m dreaming and become lucid. So far this little guy is just a lazy cat and has not helped at all. It’s like trying to train a cat in real life. He’s about as interested in helping as Cat from Coraline. Maybe tonight it will work. Happy dreaming!

Lucid Dreaming Plain and Simple by Robert Waggoner and Caroline McCready. So this isn’t necessarily paranormal, but most of my experiences so far have been dream or near dream related. Instead of fighting it I wanted to lean into it more to see if there was more to dreams. I used to be able to lucid dream as a teenager and when I saw that the Rhine Institute was offering a class I jumped on it. Robert Waggoner was teaching the class and he is a super nice human being. It was probably the most relaxing class I’ve ever taken especially since the homework was to dream. He has some YouTube videos that explain the basics too if you want to look him up. This book basically covered the same topics and is a great guide on learning how to lucid dream. The first week, the whole class was able to recall dreams much easier. It was only four weeks and I don’t think anybody had a lucid dream in that time. It takes a long time and the techniques need to be practiced frequently to get results. I have become more lucid in my dreams, but I haven’t been able to fully wake up yet. More like I’m aware I’m in a dream but still go with the flow without much additional thought. I had a crazy dream where I was so tired that I closed my eyes and let my wife drive the car. I was fascinated by how real the acceleration felt. Then I woke up and fell off the bed. But that was a fake awakening because I woke up again for reals and was fine. I’ve also had a couple of times when I had sleep paralysis. I’m assuming that’s because I’m trying not to fully wake up. My goal is to eventually get to the point where I can continue to work on meditation or psi practice while sleeping. Because honestly sleep is just a waste of time and I would like to continue to research and experiment.😋 Can anybody else lucid dream? Or have you also had paranormal experiences, but you were in a sleeping or mid sleep state and aren’t sure like me?

I just finished The Bridge Between Dimensions streaming on streambeacontv and I’m obsessed! It’s a documentary directed by Anthony Leiser and follows paranormal investigator Lauren Hellekson or Laurenhaunts as she invents awesome devices, discusses her theories, and investigates. Spirit boxes and the Estes methods are interesting, but they don’t really get us any closer to understanding why they might be working. Lauren’s grimoire device or the bridge is the closest thing I’ve seen that gets us a step closer to understanding why they work, maybe ten steps closer. She’s fun, engaging and probably the most innovative person in the paranormal field at the moment. They get some interesting results with her equipment and experiments and the documentary is just as good and similar to Hellier in my opinion. Definitely worth checking out and I will be trying to catch up and everything on her website to learn as much as I can. Happy hunting!

Heading to Atlanta! Any places I should try to see with limited time? Maybe a tour or something.

Getting ready for the It’s Probably Nothing show with Chris Ramsey and Area52. Chris is super nice and everyone is excited. Should be a great show!

Haunted Southern California and California’s Haunted Route 66 by Brian Clune. These two books from the Haunted America series were excellent. I was specifically looking for places in So Cal that I didn’t know about so I could research some more. I’m trying to find more places in the desert since the Los Angeles and San Diego haunts are pretty well known. From these books, I think I’ll try to check out Oro Grande above Victorville, and the Harvey House Train Depot in Barstow. There’s also several interesting spots in Pasadena. The research that Brian put into these is extensive. For each location you get a few pages of history followed by the paranormal goodies and reports. You can tell that he’s actually been to these places and interviewed or even befriended the locals. I can’t wait to try it some of these places myself. Happy hunting!
