I'm Obsessed

    After years of contemplating the dream world, I’ve come to a startling conclusion: we’ve been looking at it all wrong. This stems largely from the pervasive, long-held belief in the Western world that dreams originate in the subconscious mind. I blame Freud for this—and Jung, too, to some extent. Though, to his credit, Jung at least touches on the superconscious mind.

    What if I told you the dream world converges with theoretical physics? In his book The Sapient Cosmos, James Glattfelder explores the mathematization of consciousness, probing the connections between physics, psychedelic experiences, and shamanism. His fascinating, in-depth interview—TheSapient Cosmos: Where Physics, Psychedelics, and Shamanism Meet | James Glattfelder, PhD—echoes the observations I’ve arrived at in my own work, Over Dinner & Other Strange Enchantments. My book reveals what some physicists are only now beginning to discuss openly: the world—and our dreams—are not what we think.

Over Dinner & Other Strange Enchantments is available now on Kindle, with hard copies out April 18, 2025!
