Ep. 159: Dreams, Consciousness, and Jay Cutler

Most of us dream to some extent. Some can barely remember most dreams, while others can dream so vividly that they can even control and manipulate their subconscious ruminations. But what exactly are dreams? And how are they related to the general idea of consciousness? On the latest, semi-lucid, episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat hit the snooze button a few too many times as they sleep on plenty of different topics regarding the significance of dreams to humans, and they sleep-walk through several general theories on consciousness and spirituality in the process. They guys also bring their usual robust package of news stories to the table this week, and Pat gives his bi-monthly Sumo update that most listeners probably were not waiting for. Did the Enlightenment philosopher Descartes solve an anatomical enigma that explains how biology and spirituality could intertwine to project the human soul? Are dreams really a gateway towards actual interdimensional travel? Is consciousness strictly a human characteristic? Could remote-viewers be astro-projecting themselves subconsciously through their dreams? For answers to these questions and a night-time's worth more, please don't sleep on the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning!
