I did this interview last year but then forgot about it. You may find it interesting. Click on these words to go to the audio.

As some of you know, I've kept a dream journal up to date since late 1989. Today, there are more than 13,000 dreams recorded in it. I also make quite a lot of illustrations in the journal to record information that takes less time to draw than to describe in words, or that is a better...

Here is an article that might be an interesting read for some of you: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/connecting-coincidence/201907/how-skeptics-misapply-the-law-very-large-numbers

In this article, I discuss how veridical dreams can influence how symbolic dreams are identified and interpreted. Overall, unambiguously symbolic dreams were extremely rare in my sample of about 12,000 dreams, and the symbols were presented in a manner not generally acknowledged by articles in...

Today I have spent a few hours coding dreams in my database. While doing this, I ran across a dream from January 3, 2013 that referenced the superhero team the Avengers. In the dream, I was talking about a new Avengers story. As I did this, I found that I was talking with the actor James Spader...

A story worth a look: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/02/05/taxi-drivers-see-ghosts-after-tsunami/79871530/ It's the first I've ever heard of this phenomena. Has anyone else heard of this kind of thing? AP

I just discovered an interesting BBC series called "Fake or Fortune". It seeks to research various paintings to determine whether they are genuine or not. In the first season's first episode, a Monet is investigated. The problem is that the Wildenstein foundation, the authority on Monet, has...

I just found two different NDEs on the NDERF site where different people in different places describe how they saw a heaven-like environment. Both noted that the grass smelled 'like watermelon'. Has anyone else seen a reference to the smell of grass in 'heaven'. I have only seen these two as far...

I just saw this on the news about the book "The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven". According to the paraplegic boy and his mother, it is a fabrication or exaggeration, depending on who you listen to. Here is the link...

See the following article: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/life-after-death-largestever-study-provides-evidence-that-out-of-body-and-neardeath-experiences-may-actually-be-real-9780195.html

Back in 2006, I had a dream that contained a very profound symbolic image. As regular posters know, I rarely describe any dream content as 'symbolic' because very few dreams seem to contain genuine symbols. To me, a symbol in a dream is a kind of compressed message, delivered by someone else to...

It has been a long time since I attempted to discuss Marian apparitions and attendant miracles at Skeptiko. The last time might predate my PhD work almost four years ago. Why is this? Do all critics simply know that these things are always the delusions of religious fanatics or cynical...

This video exemplifies what I consider to be the typical reaction to the intrusion of paranormality into everyday life. This may be because it is almost exactly how I reacted when this kind of thing happened in my life, but it is very interesting to hear this police captain go through his story...

Or to be more exact, they discuss the paper the episode also talks about. The link to their pages is here. As I wrote on the old forum, my account was not approved over there, making it impossible to respond. For that reason, I responded on Skeptiko, which at least one person at JREF noticed...

So if the proponents are going to discuss between life accounts given by kids who claim to remember past lives, though there is no way to verify them usually, perhaps some people in this forum want to explain how it is that after reading Stevenson's work you still think that the Indian, Bengali...
