EP208, J.M. DeBord: Dreaming Life with Synchronicity

"Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream." Here's some evidence.    In this episode, J.M. DeBord explores the relationship between dreams and synchronicity. For example, a young man starts dreaming about an anime show, and then discovers that it’s a real show. Further stories of incredible dream-real life coincidences follow.    Connecting with Coincidence with Bernard Beitman, MD (CCBB) is now offered as both an audio podcast--anywhere that podcasts are  available--and in video format on the Connecting with Coincidence YouTube channel.
