Hello friends!

A new way is coming. A reaction to a chain reaction. A new model. A New…Release.

Sign up for our mailing list to cut through the fluff. In return you’ll get early access to our new music and experience all the fun of following along, blow-by-blow, as we bravely attempt our first 100% independent album release this summer.

“Recent research on lucid dreams suggests that consciousness exists along a spectrum between sleep and waking, between hallucination and revelation, between dreamworlds and reality.”

Living in a Lucid Dream. By Claire L. Evans.

Guided dreaming beats lucid dreaming because lucidity spoils the experience of dreaming and turns dreaming into a kind of virtual reality game.

Imagine sitting across the kitchen table from your deceased parent. “You don’t know it’s a dream,” [Adam Haar Horowitz, a dream researcher and cognitive scientist], said. “That’s the beautiful thing. You’re sitting with them. Why would I want to be in a dream and know it’s a dream? I want to be in the room and want to have the conversation with the person. I don’t want to poke them and say, ‘Wow, what a good hologram.'”
