#133-2. Program Your Reality / Lucid dreaming

Programming Lucid Dreams: Mapping Techniques, Shared Dreaming, and the Hero’s Journey with Vaughn Brasch   In this High Strangeness episode, the host interviews Vaughn Brasch, who lives on a rustic eight-square-mile San Juan Island and wrote Programming Your Lucid Dreams while working in an art studio. Brasch distinguishes “common” restless dreams from lucid dreams, describing lucid dreams as vivid, focused experiences in which the dreamer is aware and can exert control, sometimes likening them to near-death experiences and out-of-body states. He recounts a spontaneous lucid dream while snowed in on Mount Hood that led him to study yoga and self-hypnosis, seek a dream guide, and develop a “mapping” pictograph technique to induce lucid dreams by relaxing the body, quieting the analytical mind, and visualizing destinations. The conversation covers time’s fluidity in lucid states, stillness as a key habit, shared lucid dreaming done simultaneously, and the hero’s journey as a model for personal transformation. Brasch shares where to find his book and mentions an upcoming  book, Healing the Subtle Body.   00:00 Welcome and Introductions 00:45 Life on the San Juan Island 01:59 Rustic Living and Island Amenities 03:47 Art Studio and Writing Routine 04:46 What Is a Lucid Dream 05:01 Common Dreams vs Lucid Dreams 09:04 Control and Power in Lucidity 11:08 Leaving the Body and Subtle Bodies 14:35 Snowed In Awakening Story 17:35 Finding a Dream Teacher 18:54 Programming Dreams With Mapping 26:30 Time Dilation and Near Death Parallels 28:03 Duration Over Clocks 29:14 Snapshots And Film Time 31:22 Stillness For Lucid Beginners 32:42 Slow Down And Disconnect 33:56 Heroes Journey Explained 41:21 Shared Dreaming Setup 45:28 Getting Lost And Finding Guides 47:31 Yoga Sutras And Inner Spirit 49:34 Lucid Dreams As Life Change 51:52 Books Projects And Farewell     Youtube- https://youtu.be/X1E46Yf_VrM [https://youtu.be/X1E46Yf_VrM]

BIGFOOT Spotted in Utah Along with Bizarre Hat Man and UFO Sightings. (#132-2)

High Strangeness: A Family’s Bigfoot Sighting, Hat Man Encounter, and UFOs in Utah   On High Strangeness, the host interviews Phil, Connie, Jen, and McKayla about multiple unexplained experiences tied to Utah. After years working at East Fork of the Bear River Scout Camp in the Uintas, they first noticed unusual woven log “teepee” structures; in 2016 Jen heard an eerie, single howling/guttural sound amid total forest silence and later learned others found what they thought was a “bear track.” The next year Connie saw a roughly nine-foot, dark-brown, hair-covered humanoid figure with long arms walking upright along a ridge about 150 yards away. McKayla describes five silent, low, solid-orange aerial lights on July 4, 2023 near Kearns Park that moved steadily and blinked out. The family also recounts a childhood “Hat Man” shadow figure, a spirit-box incident locating a grave, and Phil seeing his grandfather the night he died, plus a recent US-6 drive where silent orange lights split wide behind their car, reversed instantly, and vanished.   00:00 Three Encounters Teaser 00:13 Meet the Family 01:16 Scout Camp Mysteries Begin 01:44 Strange Forest Structures 03:42 2016 The Howl in the Dark 08:58 Morning After Bear Track 12:39 Next Year Bigfoot Sighting 13:38 Describing the Creature 18:11 Replaying the Moment 21:35 Aftermath and Processing It 27:38 Belief Reality and Utah 32:42 UFO Story Setup 2023 33:03 Orange Lights Over Fireworks 35:10 Lights Blink Out 35:36 Ruling Out Aircraft 36:52 Five Orange Objects 38:27 Why It Felt Wrong 42:18 Beliefs Shifted 43:51 Hat Man Encounter 46:13 Sensitive To Places 48:43 Spirit Box Success 53:14 Grandpa Visits Goodbye 58:45 Highway Lights Split 01:04:01 Orange Lights Connection 01:07:40 Eyewitnesses And Science 01:09:47 Final Thanks And Outro

They Stepped Out of Their Car, Then this UFO Appeared! (#131-2)

October 11, 1973: A Silent, Pulsing UFO Encounter in Louisiana During the 1973 Wave   The episode of High Strangeness revisits the major 1973 UFO wave, focusing on a firsthand witness from southwestern Louisiana who, on October 11, 1973 around 8:00–8:15 p.m., went with a friend into rural darkness to look for reported activity. They observed a silent light moving west to east that stopped, turned from red to emerald green, descended at an angle, then pulsated red, green, and orange, shifted to brilliant yellow when they blinked car lights, briefly turned purple, appeared to drop something, hovered about 100 feet high and within roughly 50 yards, and vanished instantly. The next day a student independently described similar lights over town, and a local newspaper report described red/green lights and something dropping out around 8:15. The discussion connects the timing to the Pascagoula abduction, references Jacques Vallée, Hynek, Bob Lazar, the Coyne helicopter case, Malmstrom missile shutdown, Phoenix Lights, and argues the phenomenon’s complexity and likely non-linear travel.   00:35 1973 Wave Setup 01:46 Meet The Witness 01:58 Early UFO Influences 07:46 Beyond Linear Physics 09:42 Army Aviation Background 14:29 1973 Flap Evidence 17:21 Heading Into The Dark 18:48 Red Light Turns Green 21:21 Close Range Encounter 22:14 Vanished Like A Switch 25:38 Then Vs Now Sightings 26:38 Government Skepticism 28:20 Missile Silo Incident 31:31 Bob Lazar Deep Dive 36:43 Element 115 And Tech 37:48 Harassment And Testing 38:01 Caught on Tape Fallout 38:49 Paul Recounts Close Encounter 40:05 Lights Shift and Object Drops 42:17 Newspaper Report Corroboration 47:40 Worldview and Propulsion Debate 51:15 Cosmic Scale Reality Check 54:08 Pascagoula Abduction Credibility 01:02:34 Crash Retrieval Analogy 01:11:20 Rabbit Hole Caution and Wrap     Youtube:   https://youtu.be/x5uhyvfIzaU [https://youtu.be/x5uhyvfIzaU]
