Now I'm a bit skeptical, it's true, and the spirit of skepticism suggests, even demands that I be open to his ideas and not dismiss them outright.
And they're curious ideas indeed, and he's doing the research. He's charming, well spoken, and has that steampunk style that seems entirely natural and unaffected. Do I agree with his conclusions? Well, not necessarily, I don't know, but I'm glad there are people out there investigating these things.

familiar places, a so-so movie...

My dream landscape has some places that seem oddly fixed, recurring places that show up - once in a while - in different dreams. They have no counterpart in the real world. There's a thrift shop, Women In Need, beside the Higher Ground in Kensington, and there's another in a basement - Salvation Army perhaps? on 14 Street, just a bit North of Kensington Road.
Only, of course, it's not Kensington Road in my dream, or not the same Kensington Road, it's the Kensington Road in London, only closer to my house, the thrift shop is one that doesn't exist, only in my dreams, and always I'm arriving just before close to discover a few treasures, I always remember that it's fallen off my map and I rush down at the last minute, it's getting dark outside, the inside of the thrift shop is cozy and inviting and there are glass cabinets everywhere with all sorts of trinkets...

And I dreamed that I was surfing the web and came across a website that was promoting a new movie, and I recognized the director as a friend of a friend and so I clicked on the play button to see what it was all about...
...and I found myself in a run down "artiste's" house, lots of people there for the special screening, it's on a tiny retro-tube TV on her dresser and we're all sitting on the floor to watch but as soon as she turns it on the size doesn't matter, everyone is watching and it's kind of silly with some special effects and Bob and Doug McKenzie, it's exactly that sort of movie and I don't know what to say other than "it will probably be very commercially successful"...

And there's this theory from this Aussie that suggests that our intent - our real intent - is expressed by hidden messages encoded backwards in our speech. It sounds like Mumbo Jumbo, but he's charismatic and seems to have attracted quite a few followers, and if you think about it it just might not be that far out....
Similar to Backmasking, only whereas in backmasking the record producers or artists deliberately encode messages backwards in records, Reverse speech suggest that these messages are encoded - backwards - by our subconscious.
