OM DENNE EPISODE
In this episode, Ryan sits down with London-based lucid dreaming artist Dave Green to explore what he calls "inter-dimensional performance art," an extraordinary practice of creating artwork directly inside his lucid dreams, which he then recreates upon waking. Along the way, they discuss the implications of precognitive dreams for the nature of time, fate and reality, and also solve the mystery of the true ending of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem Kubla Khan.
In this episode:
- How Dave's professional artistic training and interest in lucid dreaming came together to create a new form of inter-dimensional performance art.
- What happened when Dave channeled anger while interacting in a lucid dream, leading to deeper questions about emotional expression
- Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge makes an appearance in Dave's dream, and decisively finishes his famous poem.
- Can lucid dream drawings predict images sent the following day? Dave teams up with neuroscientist and a skeptic with interesting, and statistically significant, results.
- Competing theories on the nuts and bolts of precognition in dreams. Is it fate or can we influence the future?
