Dreams aren’t what you think. For
30 years, I’ve chased them—scribbling journals, painting oils, sculpting
bronzes—until Over Dinner & Other Strange Enchantments emerged. This isn’t
Freud’s subconscious or Jung’s symbols; it’s a mind-blowing journey through
art, quantum fields, and the mind as a quantum canvas. Five books lit the way,
each a spark for this wild ride. Here’s how they fueled me—and why my book
challenges dream norms like nothing you’ve read before.
- ** The Sapient Cosmos by James B. Glattfelder**
- “Obsessed with reality? Pair The Sapient Cosmos & my Over Dinner—dreams as multiverse portals. Cosmic punch!”
- I’m obsessed—I admit it. Glattfelder’s fusion of physics, psychedelics, and consciousness hit me like a supernova. His idea that reality might bend beyond equations mirrored my own hunch: dreams aren’t just echoes, they’re portals to a multiverse. Over Dinner takes that cosmic punch and runs with it—30 years of lucid visions proving the universe isn’t what it seems.
- ** The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho**
- “The Alchemist left its mark—its dreamy quest shaped my Over Dinner multiverse worlds!”
- Coelho’s tale of destiny and alchemy seeped into my bones. Its dreamy, questing spirit shaped the strange enchantments I’ve painted and penned—like hovering over a childhood dinner table in an out-of-body drift. Over Dinner isn’t a tidy fable; it’s a raw, multiverse-spanning quest that dares you to chase your own cosmic signals.
- ** The Phase by Michael Raduga**
- “Raduga’s The Phase stunned me—‘YES!’ It locked in my Over Dinner multiverse view & notes.”
- Mid-research, I stumbled on The Phase and shouted “YES!” Raduga’s lucid-dreaming and OBE techniques clicked—those hovering moments, those crystal portals I’d logged for decades weren’t madness, they were transmissions. Over Dinner builds on that, shattering dream norms with a quantum twist no traditional dream book dares touch.
- ** Ultimate Journey by Robert Monroe**
- “Ultimate Journey by Monroe lit my path—beats launched my Over Dinner journey!”
- Monroe’s binaural beats were my launchpad. His out-of-body maps lit a fire under my own hovering dreams—from Jersey sod fields to Venetian cathedrals. Over Dinner isn’t just a memoir; it’s a painter’s proof that consciousness roams beyond the skull, etched on a quantum canvas no one else has dared to frame.
- ** Angels, An Endangered Species by Malcolm Godwin**
- “Ispanky’s library: Angels, An Endangered Species—magic for my Over Dinner fans!”
- From my mentor Laszlo Ispanky’s private stash, this book whispered magic. Angels as fading mysteries mirrored my own visions—bronzes blurring with a mentor’s ghost, dreams pulsing with the beyond. Over Dinner channels that enchantment, but it’s no gentle reverie—it’s a bold, art-fueled manifesto for a multiverse mind.
Why Over Dinner Stands Alone
These books shaped me, but Over
Dinner & Other Strange Enchantments breaks the mold. It’s not a dream
dictionary or a shrink’s notebook—it challenges norms, fusing art, quantum
fields, and the mind as a quantum canvas. From a robot with a bent-light brain
to twin-dreams echoing across years, it’s a journey no dream book has dared
take. With stunning Plates of my paintings, it’s raw experience meets bold
theory—a call to log your own strange enchantments and marvel at
consciousness’s reach.
