Five Books That Shaped My Dream Odyssey—and Why Over Dinner Is Like Nothing Else

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.

Want a taste? Check my Amazon AuthorPage for these influences. The e-book’s out early on April 11, 2025—grab it now. Softcover and hardcover launch April 18—pre-order today. While you’re waiting, snag some Over Dinner-inspired coffee cups from Fine Art America and a pair of STEV-3 pajamas from RobertGirandolaStudio — curl up with this book on a beautiful morning like today! This isn’t just a book; it’s a bridge your mind might never cross back from. 

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!

My 30 Year Secret Life

      Picture a secret so wild, my own family missed it—a shock, since I wasn’t hiding it on purpose. I just whispered it too soft. Recently, I was “let go” from my thirty-year career, a jolt both thrilling and terrifying. The universe jolted me awake to my lifelong dream.

     My secret? I’m a dreamer—literally. If dreaming were a sport, I’d be the Aaron Judge of it! For thirty years, I’ve scribbled dreams—wild nights, lucid flights, body-free jaunts—in tattered journals, now distilled into a book. Think robot brains and cliff-soaring crystals—losing my career kicked me into overdrive to finish this treatise, set for Amazon in under two weeks.

     What’s unfolded is a magical awakening. I dusted off my YouTube ghosts, blogspot relics, retracing a double life: 9-to-5 in business, 5-to-9 in an artist’s dream world. The revelation? Dreams aren’t just subconscious echoes—they’re more, a truth glaring back.

     Their jaws dropped when I finally shared this openly—“Rob, this is you?” or “That scares me”—and it hit me hard. My core—silent all along—barely flickered in passing. Like painting, I thought my art roared volumes, but its tongue was foreign to them.

     April 18, my book drops—a dream itself. I crave dreamers who’ll catch this spark, unveiling a revelation wilder than Freud’s or Jung’s take on dreams. This silent secret is soon to be in the world. I discovered how dreams unlock the human mind and explain its dance with the world.

While waiting, contemplate these works from my dreams:

Dreams Unleashed: A Long Road to Over Dinner

 

I've been chasing dreams for decades—painting them, pondering them, even filming them. Check out my old YouTube video, “Dream & Grow Abundant,” from years back. It’s a glimpse into how deep this rabbit hole goes. But here’s the kicker—working with my sister Chrissy on final edits for Over Dinner & Other Strange Enchantments made me realize even my closest family didn’t know how much I’ve been exploring the dream state until this book started taking shape.

As a visual artist, I don’t have an opportunity to spell out my paintings. I've always expected them to just speak. It should really be no surprise folks missed the full story. Now, with the book dropping April 18, it’s all coming clear—30 years of visions, from sod farms to crystal portals, in vivid color plates. Stay tuned—it’s almost here!

Girandola at New York State Museum

For Immediate Release

June 22, 2011

New York State Museum in Albany, New York received into their permanent collection “Remnants of a Memorial” by 9/11 sculptor Robert Girandola of Yardley, Pennsylvania.

On Thursday June 9, 2011 Craig Williams, Curator of History, at the New York State Museum met acclaimed sculptor and painter Robert Girandola at Engine 6 in New York City to take receipt of his work “Remnants of a Memorial.” This 60” x 60” mixed media masterpiece started as the “under-drawing” for Girandola’s bronze memorial, currently installed in New York City on Beekman Street. Both works honor four firefighters from Engine 6 who lost their lives rescuing others on 9/11. Williams and his team collected over three hours of raw footage interviewing firefighters from Engine 6, one of the widows and Girandola, detailing the eight-month journey from concept to delivery of the bronze memorial. “It was a very moving day,” Girandola describes. “From the moment in early May when Mark Schaming (Director of Exhibitions and Public Programs) and Craig Williams saw the work “Remnants of a Memorial” they knew they wanted it to be part of their 9/11 exhibit up in Albany.” The piece is intended to reside near The State Museum’s significant collection of material from the World Trade Center and objects from the international response to the events of September 11, 2001, which tells the story of that day and its aftermath. The World Trade Center: Rescue, Recovery, Response details the history of the World Trade Center, the September 11 attacks, the rescue efforts, the evidence recovery operation at the Fresh Kills facility, and the public response to the September 11th events. The exhibition includes many objects, images, videos, and interactive stations documenting this tragic chapter in New York and America's history. “For me,” Girandola continues “Remnants of a Memorial” is a counterpoint to the bronze that now hangs in New York City. Whereas the bronze symbolizes the strength of the firefighter’s courage, “Remnants” speaks to their soul, to what we lost that day and to the devastation of the living. I am honored that this will be on permanent display to help contribute to their (NY State Museum) amazing collection”

New York State Museum plans to edit the raw footage of all the interviews to present the video as part of an interactive display alongside the mixed media masterpiece “Remnants of a Memorial.” For further information please contact Mark Schaming, Director Of Exhibitions & Public Programs at 3023 Cultural Education Center, Albany, New York, 12230 e-mail: mschamin@mail.nysed.gov or Craig Williams, Curator of History, e-mail: cwillia4@mail.nysed.gov .
