Welcome to The Mystical Underground

Earlier this year, we posted a dream recalled by Bruce Gernon, co-author of THE FOG, that involved a huge UFO appearing above an air show and putting on a display. The dream was about aliens making official contact.

Trish and I have both had UFO dreams, and one thing we’ve noticed about them is a feeling of excitement and wonder. We wake up feeling energized. Bruce felt the same way in his dream.

We’re wondering if many people are having UFO dreams, and if they are becoming more common. Dale Dassel, who resides in a small town outside of Macon, Georgia, recently mentioned a UFO dream in passing in an e-mail exchange.

“A couple weeks ago, I had a dream that I saw a UFO hovering motionless in the sky in broad daylight. Instead of  the usual disc or triangle, it was a ring-shaped craft with a reflective plate in the center, rather like a dark gray donut with a mirror blocking the hole, and many small dark windows dotting its circumference. I’ve never seen a UFO like that in any book or movie, but it was really unique and cool-looking. Of course, I probably wouldn’t say that if I saw it in real life; I’d probably be galvanized with terror and awe.”

When I mentioned to Dale that we were wondering how common UFO dreams are, he offered another one.

“A few years ago I had a recurring dream of a mass UFO landing at night, and the ground was covered with luminescent holograms (sort of like the Nazca lines) which projected into the sky to guide the ships down. The ships were of myriad shapes, impossibly gigantic, and literally thousands of them, almost like a colonization force.

“I remember feeling really exhilarated during the dream; being simultaneously excited and terrified. When I awoke, my pulse was racing and the imagery was vividly clear in my mind. Part of me wanted the scenario to be real, while the other part desperately hoped it would never happen. But I haven’t had that dream in quite awhile, so hopefully it wasn’t prescient.

Dale also sent the above Google image, which came up when he used the search term Atlantis. We would like to hear from others who have experienced UFO dreams. What was happening in these dreams? How did you feel as the dream was unfolding and when you woke up?

This is impressive. Thanks, Marcus, for alerting us to it.

We’ve seen a few documentaries about synchronicity over the years and our overall impression is that it’s a difficult subject to put on film. Is it possible to capture a synchronicity on film as if takes place? Maybe. But it’s nothing a producer or director could plan. That’s because the very act of doing so would be cause and effect, not synchronicity.

Yet, no doubt synchronicities happen in the process of putting together a documentary on synchronicity – or any subject, for that matter. I have yet to see one happen on film, but I can imagine how it might go.

Someone is being interviewed in an outdoor setting, the camera is rolling–the digitals are digiting–when someone not involved stumbles into the scene – a passerby who pauses to see what’s going on. It turns out that the person being interviewed is an old friend who has been out of contact for months, maybe years. Not only that, but the interviewee is telling a story about a strange incident from years ago that involves you and synchronicity. And , WOW, this is synchronicity happening right now.

That scenario reminds me a bit of the famous plum pudding synchronicity described by French writer Emile Deschamps in a biographer published in 1805.

With all that in mind, here’s a link to a teaser for a documentary on synchronicity that is currently a work in progress. The producer contacted us recently, said she enjoyed our synchro books and the blog, and wants to interview us for this documentary. Take a look

Some of you may remember that last winter we journeyed to Toronto where Trish was interviewed on William Shatner’s Weird or What about Wolfgang Pauli, or more specifically, the ‘Pauli Effect’–an ability Pauli apparently had to damage or shut down electronic equipment in laboratories simply by showing up.

To our knowledge, the program has only been shown in Canada so far, but we found it on You Tube by Googling ‘Weird or What Mind Control’ after a Canadian reader alerted us that she had seen the show.

We were surprised when we played it because we had no idea that the first third of the episode would be about alien abductions and mind control. That was a synchronicity for us, since we are writing, Aliens in the Backyard – Encounters, Abductions & Synchronicities.

The second segment dealt with the mysterious case of Pearl Curran, a poorly educated housewife from St. Louis, Missouri, who in the early twentieth century wrote several books dictated by a spirit guide Patience Worth. Interestingly, that was another synchro, since Rob is currently under contract for a book called Ghosts & Spirit Guides that will come out in October of next year. In his outline for the book, he had overlooked Patience Worth, even though he was familiar with the story.

The third segment is the one where Trish appears. It’s about government mind control, specifically the case of Cheryl Welsh, who believes she was the subject of a long-term government experiment. Trish’s perspective in this case is actually as one of the skeptics – even though her solution–the Pauli Effect, or psychokinesis–is equally strange as government mind control.

That segment begins at 29:08 and Trish gets the last word on the show beginning at about 41:00.

Sometimes, skeptics and debunkers can go buggy in their attempts to dismiss UFO sightings. That was literally the case when seven cameras recorded the flight of  several UFOs at an air show in Chile as the craft darted around a formation of jets. The object was recorded from seven different angles and positions. So it was hard to dismiss.

Yet, dismissed it was by skeptics who boastfully said it was a bug – probably a beetle flying in front of the camera. The skeptics had looked at only one video when the pronouncement was made. The skeptics apparently had no expertise in examining digital images.

But others did. One Chilean analyst, Alberto Vergara, an expert in digital imaging, reported: “When we examine the whole scene frame by frame, we have been able to realize that [the object] has, apparently, moved at a speed far superior to any flying object of known manufacture. Therefore it is worthy of continuing to investigate its origin.”

Meanwhile Leslie Kean, author of  UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record decided to test the skeptics’ theory and send one of the videos, as well as still shots, to three prominent American entomologists, hopefully with a knowledge of Chilean bugs.

All three said it wasn’t a bug. “No idea what it is, but it does not seem to be an insect . . . altho very fast flying insects captured on slow shutter speeds do look like amorphous blurs or blobs. I am forwarding these to several colleagues and asking around,” wrote Brett C. Ratcliffe, professor and curator at the University of Nebraska State Museum and Department of Entomology.

A few days later, he wrote back. “I have queried several of my colleagues to see if anyone might have thought an insect could be responsible for the anomaly in the images. No one had any idea of what could have caused that.”

Kean went on to find an expert in Chilean insects and sent the same material. “When Beetles fly, their wings stand up, and the membranous wings that are under are flapping.  I have seen insects flying many times and their photo looks like a torpedo, is more oval, and that is why I can not see or imagine where the legs and wings could be.” She then said she would think about this further. Her description of typical beetle photos sounded a lot like the three images shown above. She ended her comment saying, “I would say they were not insects.”

So who was acting more scientific in this investigation – the skeptics or the believers? Take a look for yourself at the video…

Could it be that the appearance of UFOs at an air show was intentional? A means of appearing before multiple cameras, and to keep us guessing?

Synchronicity occurs under many conditions. But one environment that seems to attract meaningful coincidence is when you are focused on something to the extent that almost everything else disappears from your awareness. That was the case recently for David Wilson, publisher of Crossroad Press, when he was working on a fantasy novel called Nevermore.  In the novel, his main character takes two other characters on a vision ride to the past, where they see Edgar Allan Poe and Lenore.

Writes David: “Edgar travels with a crow named Grimm (after the brothers) and we learn his stories come in dreams and visions – he’s a mage, Grimm the familiar, but he has no magic to help his dying bride, Virginia.  Lenore is an artist.  She sees faces and people in trees, rocks, water, etc.  She draws what she sees, then painstakingly removes whatever traps the faces / people and frees them to move on to whatever is next.

“The point is that Poe theoretically MAY have written the first draft of The Raven at a roadhouse that used to sit on the border of NC and VA  – which is where they all meet. For some reason I look at GRIMM’S FAIRY TALES…and find they wrote a tale called “The Raven” – in which a young girl is imprisoned in the form of a raven by her foolish mother…and needs to be freed…”

Synchronicity. David told me the story because he knows about this blog and because I’ve laid a couple of strange synchros on him in e-mails – most recently about  how I had ‘coincidentally’ come in contact with the owners of two full-sized crystal skulls at the time when I was looking for royalty-free photos of crystal skulls for the book cover of my novel by the same name that David was publishing.

What David didn’t know, though, was that years ago I had written a novel called Romancing the Raven that involved the main character traveling back in time and meeting Poe.

This object, photographed by an amateur astronomer, is truly strange.
