Collective Unconscious is BrainDead -- DreamBot 09/21/14

Gentlemen,

I'm responding to the request on Urban Survival website to report changes in recent dream status. Not having Chris' email address, I'm taking a shot in the dark and hope the message will be relayed if I've gotten it wrong.

There has been a substantial change in the character of my dreams which is consistent with the "drought" mentioned.

Under my normal night pattern (not every night, but the majority), I have the hour or so of deep sleep, then about four hours into the night, consciousness rises into some kind of hypnagogic state, wherein I am alert, conscious and reasoning, yet still asleep. This appears to continue for the remainder of the night. I won't digress with description or explanation, but, the state does lend itself to clear and effective thinking ("keep a notebook handy").

I actually don't care to awaken when there, but when it is "time" to do so, I always have to go through a little process of remembering where the body is and what orientation it has in [physical] space, that is "In which direction is the head, the feet, etc.?" So, by all appearances, I'm doing "astral travel" ["oob"] most nights. (In my opinion, all dreams are actually astral travel, just a matter of "how far from 'home'" at it were.)

The long introduction was necessary to explain the recent change of character -- For about two weeks there has been none of this, no dreaming, no astral travel. Instead I've completely awakened in the middle of the night and it has been difficult to return to sleep.

Within the past day or two, things appear to be returning to "normal" for me.

A number of acquaintances have also reported interrupted sleep in the last 7 - 10 days. Some have mentioned it without prompting, others after I mentioned disturbed sleep.

Not sure whether I'd call it a "tide in the affairs of men," but not infrequently I see friends undergoing similar patterns of experiences at the same time. Enough that I'm certain, but there's no empirical data.
On the other hand, there is an ongoing statistical analysis of the effect of collective human consciousness on physical events at

Best Wishes,
