Find meaning in the phenomenon:

  1. The phenomenon is happening
  2. It is dream-like in nature
  3. The study of dreams requires your direct participation in working with your dreams


UAP sightings, ET contact, and High Strangeness

You can make sense of dream-like experiences because you can make sense out of dreams.

  • Feels like a dream
  • Narrative accounts of them are dream-like
  • Impossible things happen just like in dreams
  • Hypnosis, as a means of knowledge, produces only dream-like testimony


Simulations, Virtual Reality, and Quantum Mechanics...

Everyone is looking towards forward to provide the model for UAPs.  What if we had to look backwards?  In the space-age, people thought UFOs were space people.  Now, we're not so sure, maybe from other dimensions or it's quantum some how.  Looking towards our technology, we see simulations and virtual reality.  Maybe the UAPs and NHIs are the "computer programmers" of the world?

If we step outside of the notion of Western technological progress, we might see that dreaming is actually a technology.  People routinely use dreams for healing and knowledge, not just of the psychoanalytic variety.  There's compelling evidence that dreams can predict the future, inspire miraculous healings, and many other incredible things.

More than 90% of Earth's cultures respect the reality of dreams.  They use dreams as technology and guess what?  Nearly all of the dream-honoring cultures have specific mythological themes regarding both earth beings like nature spirits and sky beings like star people.  

Where's the data, proof, and references?

While I'm a big fan of data, proof, and references, they're not relevant to core message: you can work with your own dreams within yourself to make sense of extraordinary phenomenon.

None of the stories, references, or data will make sense unless you have an experience to compare it with.  Having your own experience is like a Rosetta stone.  There are more than enough many references to stories, data, and theories through-out the D-SETI courses to satisfy your intellectual mind.

PSI phenomena are real

PSI refers to psychic phenomena such as telepathy, ESP, psychokinesis, clairvoyance, remote viewing, etc.  In a report based on government funded research, Utts concludes (1996):

  • Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established…The magnitude of psychic functioning exhibited appears to be in the range between what social scientists call a small and medium effect. That means that it is reliable enough to be replicated in properly conducted experiments, with sufficient trials to achieve the long-run statistical results needed for replicability.

She concludes her report with recommendation for further study: 

  • It is recommended that future experiments focus on understanding how this phenomenon works, and on how to make it as useful as possible. There is little benefit to continuing experiments designed to offer proof, since there is little more to be offered to anyone who does not accept the current collection of data.

Dreams are naturally psionic

Psionic dreaming simply refers to paranormal, nonphysical, and telepathic aspects of dreaming.  8.1% of dreams may be classified as "exotic", meaning that they involve some paranormal experience (Krippner and Faith, 2001; Sherwood & Rowe, 2003).  

Telepathic dreams

Thoughts are non-locally transferred across space/time through dreams


What could we learn and share with ET civilizations?

(Sherwood & Roe, 2003)

Dream sharing

Various individuals or collectives share a dream experience with measurable similarity


How quickly would we accept all of our human differences after experiencing ET minds?

(McNamara, Dietrich-Egensteiner, & Teed, 2017)

Precognitive dreams

Dreams are used to predict the future, e.g., dream reports of 9/11 prior to the date

What might we dream into reality with our greater galactic community?

(Mossbridge & Radin, 2018)

Remote viewing

Dreams are used to provide knowledge of distant places, times, or peoples


What can we learn about ETs and their experience from our dreams?

(Mumford, Rose, & Goshin, 1995)

ET Contact may be happening right now in dreams

Based on overwhelming and sufficient testimonial evidence, we conclude that ET (defined as extraterrestrial person or non human intelligence) contact through dreams may be happening right now.  This contact can happen in many ways.  They are generally bizarre and highly strange experience that require your personal interpretation.  This question isn't whether ET contact through dreams is happening, it is (Mack, 2001; Hernandez et al., 2018; Vallee, 2001;).  

The question is how do we study it and what do we do with it?

ET contact is misunderstood as dreams

Experiencers who testify to ET contact often report thinking of their experiences initially as a dream.  There seems to be several different reasons for thinking of ET contact like a dream. (Mack, 2001)

UFO/ET dreams are not uncommon

Of a representative sample (n=444) of people: 6.5% dreamed of seeing ETs, 6.3% of traveling to another planet, and 4.5% seeing a UFO. (Schredl et al., 2004)

Intending to contact ETs leads to dreams of ETs

We can experiment with lucid dream intention. It appears that dreams with the lucid intent for ET contact are more successful than other types of lucid intent. (Raguda et al., 2021)

Estimated psionic dream contacts with ET

There seems to be a signal for ET contact through psionic dreams. The signal is weak, but significant, and requires interpretation.  The subject isn't well defined and it's hard to quantify, but let's try.  Here's what we know:

  • 3-4 dreams remembered per month (Nielsen, 2012)
  • 0.2% dreams related to UFO/ET (word search on SDDB, compare with the 1.1% rate reported visitation dreams by Krippner and Faith, 2001)
  • 3.4 lucid dreams recorded per month for lucid dreamers (Stumbrys et al., 2014)
  • 48.5% accomplishment rate of lucid intent for lucid dreamers (Stumbrys et al., 2014), which you should compare with the 75% success rate of lucid intent for contact with UFOs or ETs (Raduga et al., 2021)
  • 80% of ET involved UFO sightings involve PSI phenomenon (Hernadez et al., 2018)

5 per year 

Based on UFO reports

Psionic dreams are associated with UFO reports.  How many psionic dreams could we expect based on number of reported UFO sightings?

  • 5,600 average number of UFO sightings report to NUFORC per year
  • 250 estimated contact (based on Rob Freemans rule of thumb that 95% of reports are not truly UFO)
  • 200 psychic contact experiences

If those 200 experiencers attempted to make psionic contact via dreams, we would expect:

  • 97 successful accomplishment of lucid intent (48.5% success rate)
  • 5 potential psionic ET contact dreams per year (# dreams X 8.1% exotic dream rate X 63% success rate of ESP trial)

7.6 per year 

From 12 dedicated lucid dreamers

It appears that psionic dreams and ET contact dreams can be studied through lucid intent experiments.  If we worked with 12 dedicated lucid dreamers per year, how many psionic dream contact with ET could we expect?

  • Assuming participation over 1 year
  • 237 successful lucid dreams intents per year
  • 7.6 potential psionic ET contact dreams per year (# dreams X 8.1% exotic dream rate X 63% success rate of ESP trial)

420 per month

From a community of 5,000 lucid dreamers

There are many online communities of lucid dreamers and dream sharing.  If we asked one community to explore ET dreams for one month, how many psionic dreams of ET could we expect?

  • Assuming participation over 1 month
  • 8,245 successful lucid dreams intents per month (volunteers X 3.4 lucid dreams X 48.5%)
  • 420 potential psionic ET contact dreams per month  (# dreams X 8.1% exotic dream rate X 63% success rate of ESP trial)

All new science requires courage

Accepting this possibility of psionic dream contact requires a shift of worldview. This shift of worldviews is what John Mack called "ontological shock" (Mack, 1995).


Luckily, our quantum physics have paved the way over a century ago in the double-slit light experiment and its elaboration in observer principle.  Luckily, our military industrial complex has provided working examples of operational PSI experiments that produce results beyond reasonable doubts (but still require participation for interpretation).


Thank you for having the courage to go on a journey of discovery.

how does the likelihood of contact through d-seti compare with seti?

Infinitely more possible

The probably of finding ET life and communicating with it through the SETI Institute's plan for radio and light communications is incalculable.  In its 6 decades of operation, it has not detected a single signal. Even if SETI were successful, it would take generations to have a simple conversation.


It seems that we have detectable and reproducible signals of ET in our dreams, which is consistent with overwhelming testimonial evidence from reputable sources.  The signal is based in PSI phenomenon has two major implications:

  1. Communication happens instantaneously across space
  2. It requires subjective participation to make meaningful

Theory

How to study dreams?

Dreams are not like other phenomenon.  They are irrational, bizarre, and subjective. Therefore, any approach must be holistic, nondual, and participatory.

What about objectivity? You can still do objective study, but you must also work with your own dream practice.

Personally

through practices like dream journaling or lucid dreaming

Interpersonally 

through practices like dream sharing or dream work

Objectively 

through quantitative content analysis of the dream report

Experimentally 

through establishment of lucid intent by dream incubation
