DREAMLAND with Whitley Strieber

In this beautiful, amazing stunner we cross the sweep of time from Chauvet Cave to Gobekli Tepe to Diana Pasulka’s amazing comment that insiders are now calling the visitors our “sponsors” and then go beyond into some of the deepest and most brilliantly coherent speculations about our visitors ever recorded.We explore amazing questions, such as why is the “donation site” Diana Pasulka talks about in American Cosmic near the same location that, in the seventeenth century, Maria of Agreda bilocated and appeared to the local native American tribes? Then we go with John Santos into caves beneath Teotihuacan to find out how they “activated” knowledge traditions that are beginning to make sense in terms of the visitor experience.Never never never has there been anything like this conversation anywhere at any convention, or any podcast, show or anywhere!Jeff Kripal’s website is JeffreyJKripal.com.

Most podcasts take a very one-dimensional approach to the idea of what our visitors are: they’re aliens. From the beginning, Whitley called them visitors because we don’t know that. Even though we have debris and bodies and maybe even intact disks, we have no idea where they came from in space and time.Let’s take a fresh look, and for the next two weeks we’re going to do just that on Dreamland–and the results are stunning. Never, ever will you have heard a conversation like this!Three amazing experts join Whitley to tackle the question of just what does “real” mean when it comes to UFOs and close encounters? Even if we are dealing with beings from another planet, they are NOT like us…or is it that they play games intended to make us think that? Whitley’s Super Natural co-author, Jeff Kripal, American Cosmic author Diana Walsh Pasulka and Rhodes Scholar, University of Texas professor and Ford Foundation program officer John Phillip Santos explore these topics as never before, walking what Whitley calls the “shadow line” between us and our visitors. And what is that shadow line? As Jeff Kripal puts it, “we are the future of the past and the past of the future.” But if time is not linear, what does that mean? And could the truth be, then, that our visitors know more than we do about who we are? And do we know more than we realize about them?This is the first of a two week show as we dig deep into the unknown with three of the most powerful minds working in this field. Next week, why are the insiders now calling the visitors our “sponsors,” and are the materials from other worlds or from the future, and could we, ourselves, be technology?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

This week on Dreamland we are joined by Dr Bernard Beitman, a psychologist and author of the book Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen.Bernard explains how a true synchronicity works and what we can do to bring more of this underlying harmony into our own lives. He discusses the difference between ordinary chance and a truly significant event, and how we can recognise these important moments.Whitley and Bernard go on to examine various stunning cases, including that of a man who was saved from cancer by a synchronicity involving famed scientist John Lilly; and an amazing story about a balloon that changed the lives of two people forever.Then, Whitley tells the story of a truly mind-boggling coincidence from his own life, which prompts a moving and exciting explanation from Bernard.It’s no coincidence you have come across this showBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

Following last week’s mind-opening interview with Andrew Collins, on this week’s episode of Dreamland with his co-author Greg Little, we go deep into the issue of how transdimensional intellligences have operated to change human civilization in the past, and how they are still at work.Greg is an experienced psychologist, author and researcher with in-depth knowledge of a vast range of areas, including Native American mounds, metaphysics, plasma anomalies and the secrets of ancient knowledge.Greg and Whitley discuss the secret relationship between the Native American peoples and the mysterious “others,” and the unforgettable story of Cheyenne shaman Lou White Eagle’s experiences with the so-called “little people”.This show takes listeners on a rich journey into our forgotten past, part of which is still remembered by native tribes today. Greg and Whitley unravel the threads of time to look back at how the people of the deep past actually thought, and the hidden knowledge they had access to in order to make their miraculous feats of engineering possible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

Andrew Collins joins us on Dreamland to discuss recent findings relating to the evolution and history of shamanic practices, as depicted in his new book Origins of the Gods (written with Greg Little). He sheds light on the discovery that shamanic practice dates back over 200,000 years instead of the 20,000-30,000 years as previously believed, and also discusses the shamans’ relationship with the stars – in particular the constellation Cygnus, long thought to be the location of heaven and the source of powerful and strange radio and x-ray sources.Whitley and Andrew explore the mystery of conscious plasmas, ancient gods and strange creatures, and their relationship to our origin, way of life, and evolution. Then Andrew describes his experiences at the famed paranormal hotspot, Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.

They consider the many questions that Bigfoot has left behind, and the answers they produce are astounding!For subscribers, we go on to explore the question of whether Bigfoot’s apparent psychic abilities mean it could actually be a part of a more advanced species than we are. We delve into a discussion about why so many super normal phenomena appear to be connected, and why they often seem to appear in similar places and circumstances.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

With over 3 decades of experience in the film industry, Randall Nickerson is a true creative expert who spent 14 of those years forging a documentary about what is arguably the most amazing group close encounter ever recorded, titled ‘Ariel Phenomenon’.In this film, he tracks down the original witnesses of the1994 Ariel School UFO sighting to interview them about what they saw then, and how those astonishing events have impacted the way they see the world today, almost 30 years’ on. For the first time, in this documentary, the fact that the Ariel School was in the middle of ancient Zimbabwean sacred sites and burial grounds is also discussed. There is a connection between the phenomenon and the dead, but what is it? Listen as Whitley and Randall explore this and so many other of the burning questions that Ariel Phenomenon raises. In this groundbreaking interview, Whitley takes listeners on an adventure back to the incredible close encounter over 60 students experienced in Zimbabwe in 1994. The message this documentary and the witnesses bring is of overwhelming importance, more so every day. Not only is there the classic visitor warning about how we are treating our environment, but there is another warning, not much noticed in 1994, but that is now becoming crucial.This documentary may reflect on the past, but it holds a precious message about Earth’s future and the fate of mankind that must not be ignored.It is vitally important that Ariel Phenomenon reach the streaming services. Whether or not that happens depends on US. We need to rent it from their website right now to watch it on our computers or ‘cast it from them to our TVs via Chromecast or Apple.

Charles Upton joins Whitley on Dreamland to discuss his latest book, Alien Disclosure Deception: the Metaphysics of Social Engineering. He is a Sufi Muslim, poet and long-term student of metaphysics, who is not afraid to dive deep into an exploration of the origin of the close encounter phenomena, which has left him with a theory which will resonate deeply with some listeners, and horrify others.You might take the tack that if we are going to explore the question of what close encounters are, we need to be open to all ideas. In this show, Whitley opens his mind to the uncomfortable and generally rejected possibility that the close encounter experience might actually be the work of something demonic.There is certainly a dark side to our visitors, so could Charles Upton have the answer as to why this is?

Paul Sinclair is a well-known and well-respected researcher into unexplained phenomena, based in a fishing town on the East Yorkshire coast of England. Paul was inspired by his own inexplicable experiences to investigate further into the meaning behind them and why they seem to be concentrated in certain geographical areas. We welcome him back to Dreamland for another riveting discussion, this time about his newest book ‘Truthproof 4 – Beyond Reasonable Doubt’, and the incredible material Paul came across while conducting his research for it. Among other things, you are going to hear the weirdest and most convincing story of what might have been a werewolf that has perhaps ever been told–let alone experienced by two men trying to enjoy a peaceful camping trip!Paul and Whitley’s discussion will take you on a journey through the world of the unknown, including a werewolf sighting in Broxa Forest, a huge flying pyramid in Wales that resulted in some sort of apparent extensive military action, the possible existence of a seventh sense, sheep mutilations that work just like US cattle mutilations, and a fisherman who had a time slip while fishing for cod.Paul’s recounts may seem like a series of strange campfire horror stories, but they’re completely, terrifyingly and incredibly REAL!Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

Whitley goes it alone on Dreamland this week, and this is just a beautiful, amazing show. He does this so that he can both talk about the May 17 congressional UFO briefing and then the incredible experiences he has had over the past three weeks, which include a bizarre intrusion into his home, a sophisticated attempt to hack Unknowncountry.com, his first UFO sighting in years that took place on the evening of Sunday, May 15, a strange telepathic conversation that took place afterward and a bizarre email that confirms that the conversation really happened.It contains a description of one of the most chilling and yet beautiful dreams of the end-times that has probably ever been described by anybody–short, poetic, chilling and somehow inspiring.This is a really extraordinary show.

Caroline Corey is a talented and respected director and producer, known for her 2019 documentary, Superhuman: The Invisible Made Visible, which she discussed on Dreamland on July 24 2020. She joins Whitley again to talk about her new and award-winning film, A Tear in the Sky, which follows a team of scientists and investigators with almost $650,000 worth of equipment in an effort to capture real-time footage of UFOs and UAPs from three separate locations.In an interview so incredible it leaves Whitley momentarily LOST FOR WORDS, he and Caroline discuss her films, underwater ‘alien’ bases, human consciousness, psychic powers, and a possible communication with whatever it is that is behind this strange phenomenon.Now that this documentary has been made, there will be a paper or papers written by some of the scientists involved, to be published in the peer-reviewed press. This is a step beyond the official revelations that have been made because it will provide scientists with data involving things like the heat signature of the objects recorded, their speed, size, altitude and many other data points. This means that other members of the community can use the same methodologies to see if they can replicate the results. If so, then UFOs will become a legitimate area of scientific study for the first time, offering granting entities a clear avenue to make project funding decisions, which has not existed before.The documentary also marks a step towards a future where close encounters are taken seriously, and where witnesses are no longer dismissed. The reason is simple: if we can prove that these objects are here, then there is a basis for serious study of the claims of contact.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

Sexual encounters with strange entities are often mentioned by experiencers, but most people shy away from the topic. Author, healer and counselor Erin Montgomery joins Whitley on Dreamland to discuss her own intimate close encounter experiences, and her interpretation of the meaning behind them – all captured in her new book – Dirty Little Secret: Confessions of an Alien Contactee.She goes on to talk about her lifetime of experiences with the ‘paranormal’, meeting hybrid children, and the apparent involvement of humans/military figures in abductions.

A historic Dreamland moment: Jim Semivan returns with a recording of the first-ever question and answer between a CIA Officer who is also a close encounter experiencer and members of the public. First recorded as a subscriber Q&A, we feel that this extraordinary event deserves wide public exposure. It is proof that experiencers have sophisticated insight into the real issues and are well capable of participating in a productive dialog about what close encounter means.This unique show is part of Dreamland and Unknowncountry’s ongoing process of going deeper into the close encounter experience. We are committed to exploring all viewpoints without drawing any final conclusions about this very complex, subtle and powerful experience. It is, by far, the most complex thing that has happened in the modern world, and probably in all human experience. The questions you will hear asked in this show are proof that the close encounter community is capable of meeting the challenge, and that we can lead the way toward solid, clear understanding of the experience and how to use it for the benefit of mankind.There are no ads in this show.
