8.3 - Dreaming About Something I Keep Upstairs

After no episodes for the last two months, Henry more than makes up for his absence with a super-sized episode! First, he begins with an announcement concerning OC ParaCon 2025 and beyond. Then, he welcomes author J.D. Barker to talk about his new book, Something I Keep Upstairs. It's a story that was inspired by a real-life haunted house. By the way, you could spend a night in that very house...if you enter the promotion attached to the book's release. After that, dream interpreter J.M. Debord returns to the show to interpret a dream that Henry's wife had a few days before. They talk about J.M.'s reasearch and Dream 1-2-3 dream interpretation process. Then they talk about J.M.'s newest project, Channeled Messages of Hope, where he was contacted by a company who had hours of recorded channeling sessions where a medium channeled prominent figures from history and asked questions about issues affecting our world today. JM has also created a podcast out of this project and Henry plays some clips featuring wisdom from Nicola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Wayne Dyer, Jacques Cousteau, and St. Francis. Very interesting project that J.M. Debord is now a part of. Links: Something I Keep Upstairs by J.D.
