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. Diana Walsh Pasulka can be found at DianaWalshPasulka. Learn more about John Phillip Santos on his University of Texas at San Antonio profile.To get Jeff's book Superhumanities, click here.

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?

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 show

Mona Sobhani is a neuroscientist, researcher and author with a powerful story to share. We welcome her to Dreamland to discuss her journey as a scientist from a member of the materialistic establishment to an unusual and remarkable explorer of the unknown, which is set out in her new book, Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe. Mona discusses her struggle as a scientist on a spiritual journey, the problem with placing the Western worldview on a pedestal, and her mother's terrible prediction that led to her “dark night of the soul” and the emergence of a new vision of reality.Don't miss this uncanny and powerful edition of Dreamland–uncanny even for this show!

Dr Garry Nolan is an immunologist, researcher and inventor, and a professor at Stanford University of Medicine. He is best known within the close encounter community for his work researching the brain structure of experiencers.In this breakthrough interview, he talks in depth for the first time about his own close encounter experiences and his startling discovery when he first saw the cover of Communion. Garry and Whitley discuss the reality of the UAP phenomenon, what our visitors may be, and above all, what we are learning about the eerie similarities Garry has found in the brains of close encounter witnesses, remote viewers, psychics, mediums and other people with unexplained or so-called ‘paranormal' experiences.

If you haven't listened to this show yet, DON'T MISS IT, it is INCREDIBLE! Paul Eno is the popular co-host of the talk show “Behind the Paranormal”, where he examines multiple extraordinary cases of supernatural phenomena. This week on Dreamland, Paul joins us to talk about poltergeists, levitations and a unique take on what possession is – giving us a theory that goes far beyond the old religious belief in demons. Paul describes his own personal experiences with such strange apparitions (with multiple other witnesses), including witnessing and working with people who have levitated while being observed by him and by medical personnel.Join Whitley and Paul as they travel through the multiverse, discussing the relationship between DNA and the paranormal, what ghosts think about God, and the ultimate source of “paranormal” effects. Do not miss this incredible presentation of a whole new vision of the nature of evil!

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.

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. What secret did the past know about human consciousness?Who really created us, and what is our destiny?Listen to Whitley and Andrew tackle those enormous questions in this remarkable interview!

Tobe Johnson and Brett Eichenberger who have created the incredible new documentary “A Flash of Beauty: Bigfoot Revealed.” join Whitley on Dreamland for what is probably the best ever Bigfoot show the site has seen. This show explores the amazing encounters people (including Tobe himself) have had with Bigfoot and other strange creatures, and includes an in-depth exploration of the ‘paranormal' events that often take place in conjunction with these appearances. 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.

Dr. Megan Rose is a transformational psychologist, eco-spiritual priestess and erotic mystic. Part of her work is focused on normalizing the “paranormal” and helping individuals discover a deeper connection with themselves and others, both human and otherwise.Whitley and Dr. Rose discuss spirit marriage, which is both a marriage with a nonphysical entity and a sacred acknowledgement of the reality of one's own higher self. The cover sexuality and sensuality in a spirit marriage, and how this has been experienced by Megan and others.Whitley's own knowledge of his relationship with Anne and how it developed after she left her physical body puts him in a unique position as an interviewer and allows them to truly dive deep into an exploration of relationships, love and marriage that is not bound by physical limitations.

Anne Tyler was drawn by Anne Strieber into her new engagement with the experiencer community, and this discussion explores how someone on the nonphysical side of human life might affect and change lives on this side.Anne is a psychotherapist who runs the Tyler Institute, a private practice which specializes in gifted and talented children and adults. She met – or was drawn to – Whitley at the Archives of Impossible conference at Rice university under incredibly strange circumstances. She now also specializes in working with experiencers, using her psychological expertise to help them come to terms with their strange encounters.Listen as Anne and Whitley discuss their strange meeting, Anne Strieber's role in their friendship, and the importance of the Communion letters now and in the future. In this joyous discussion, Anne reflects on her past and recent experiences, her journey to date, working with Yvonne Smith, reflections on where she is now, and where we may be headed.For more information about Anne Tyler and her work, go to TylerInstitute.com

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. So go to ArielPhenomenon.com right now and rent the film!

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?

Elizabeth Krohn, an old friend of Whitley's and popular Dreamland guest, is the primary author of the book Changed in a Flash: One Woman's Near-Death Experience and Why a Scholar Thinks It Empowers Us All, which she wrote with Jeffrey Kripal. Her book reflects on the experience she had when she was fatally struck by lightning in 1988, and the influence it has had on the way she lives life now. She is also one of the recent winners of the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies essay contest, and the only winner who drew on their own personal near-death experience in their essay.Elizabeth begins the show with what may be best description of an NDE in the history of Dreamland. This deep and searching interview mines Elizabeth's wisdom on topics such as why we must return to the physical world after we die and how we might finally break free of the cycle of reincarnation.Whitley's careful questioning and Elizabeth's insightful answers offer a window into an experience we will all eventually know, which is what makes this such an important conversation. This brilliant discussion will change the way you think about death – and perhaps life too!Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.com

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.com

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. Just flat-out INCREDIBLE!Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.com

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.com

We begin a periodic series of shows with the winners of the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies afterlife essay contest with this discussion with Thinking Allowed host Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove. Jeff is a licensed clinical psychologist and accomplished radio and television interviewer. He is also the recent winner of the first prize in the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies essay competition, where entrants were asked to write essays presenting the evidence for survival of human consciousness after bodily death.Jeffrey's investigation into what he calls “human deviancy” progressed from a more conventional study of psychopathology to parapsychology, the study of psychic phenomena. He holds the only doctoral diploma in parapsychology to be awarded by an accredited American university (University of California, Berkeley).Jeffrey speaks with a valuable clarity about his own understanding of the afterlife and why he believes that it is real.In this episode, he and Whitley journey into a rich discussion on topics such as what happens when we die, prophetic dreams, and the connection between the dreamworld and high strangeness.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.com

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. In the third half hour of the show, Erin and Whitley discuss Stockholm syndrome, which causes victims to bond with their oppressors. and dealing with the trauma associated with abduction experiences. Erin passes on advice on how she managed to heal and move forward, and Whitley closes the show by reflecting on a powerful and shattering recent experience he had that seemed to hint at some sort of invasion.What on EARTH – if this is even happening on Earth – is really going on here? Listen to Whitley and Erin tackle that question and many others in this remarkable interview!

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. It is presented in full for both subscribers and non-subscribers. We urge subscribers to tell your friends about this unique site and its importance. And if you're not a subscriber, please join us!

Dolly Safran has been having close encounters throughout her entire lifetime. She is a rare example of a close encounter witness with vivid conscious memories of her contact, who never needed regression hypnosis to recall the details of her encounter and never experienced fear of the strange beings she met.Dolly joins us on Dreamland with Preston Dennett – one of the great UFO researchers of our era – to discuss Dolly's incredible sightings and experiences, which are recorded in Preston's book Symmetry: A True UFO Adventure. She talks about her extraordinary awakening at age 14 and her father's admission that he, too, was a close encounter witness. Dolly then goes on to describe her experience being taught how to fly a UFO.Described by Preston as the “single most extensive account of ET contact” he has ever investigated, Dolly's story is well worth listening to.Get Preston Dennett's book on the Dolly Safran case. Click here.This episode of Dreamland offers listeners a deep dive into the asymmetric world of conscious close encounters and what we can learn from them. If you are an audio listener and would like to view the video mentioned in the show, please click here. (This video has been vetted by one of our experts and found to be unidentifiable as an ordinary object. He has also provided us with a set of instructions about how to take better video, and some inexpensive equipment you can get to help stabilize your phone while making videos.

Peter Levenda has been a guest on Dreamland for many wonderful interviews in the past – and this one is no exception!Here, he joins Whitley in a discussion about the content of his new book in the Sekret Machines series written by him and Tom DeLonge, Sekret Machines: Gods, Man and War. He takes us with him on his journey, both as an author and a seeker of truth and understanding. A lifelong student of mysticism, Peter goes deep into the connection between the occult and the forces that surround us, both dark and light.Do not miss Peter and Whitley's amazing discussion of the ominous Maury Island incident of 1947, the Kennedy assassination, the UFO/UAP phenomenon, bizarre materials, hidden knowledge, the deep state, their connection to each other… and MORE!

Jim Semivan, who is an Unknowncountry subscriber, was a CIA officer for 25 years, and is a founding member of To The Stars Academy of Arts & Sciences (TTSA), which recently rebranded as ‘To The Stars, Inc.'. Now retired from the CIA, Jim still serves as a consultant to the Intelligence Community.He joins us on Dreamland to offer a valuable insight into the role of government and independent organizations in investigating the close encounter experience.In this rich discussion, Whitley and Jim cover a wide range of highly relevant and fascinating topics, from Jim's work in To The Stars, Inc. and the CIA, to Whitley's stunning description of the mysterious bodies recovered from the Roswell crash of 1947.Then, they go even deeper into a conversation about Jim's own experiences with the close encounter phenomenon and spirituality, and the importance of maintaining a balance between our inner and outer lives.

John Martin is a close encounter witness, experiencer, and talented classical guitarist with the astonishing ability to consistently summon strange lights in the sky, which he films and posts on his Youtube channel (John Martin UFO and ET Intelligence) and Tiktok account (@johnmartin1779). He has developed a deep relationship – perhaps even a friendship – with those mysterious lights, using music as a medium to offer his gratitude and love to the cosmos – and he almost always receives a response.In a rare interview, two individuals with incredible histories of deep and meaningful contact come together to discuss UFOs and UAPS, the role of music in the contact experience, John's surprising friendship with Jimmy Carter and their discussions of UFOs, and much more. What John is doing is an example of how contact can transform into something beautiful, and here, he tells us exactly how he does it.John uses a SIONYX Aurora 1 Night Vision Camera to make his videos. To learn more about this camera, click here.This show is part of our ongoing series about personal contact. We all have the potential to do just what people like John and Peter Maxwell Slattery are doing. Plus Melinda Leslie leads nightly tours and can give you the experience. BUT, once you are seeing verifiable UFOs, what do you do? That's going to be an ongoing topic in the future on Dreamland.

Kathleen Marden, the niece of Betty and Barney Hill, is one of the world's leading UFO/close encounter experience researchers, as well as being an experiencer herself. We welcome her back to Dreamland to discuss her new book: Forbidden Knowledge, a Powerful Journey from Alien Abduction to Spiritual Transformation.Whitley and Kathleen go deep into a dialogue about Kathleen's lifetime of bizarre experiences, from the moment she learned about her aunt Betty Hill's abduction and her own close encounters, to the profound spiritual journey she is on now – and where the future might lead her…and us. Around 12 minutes into the interview, something incredibly STRANGE happens involving Whitley's radios. (These are the radios tuned to the little used 144.1 MhZ frequency that never stop receiving an unknown signal–but only in Whitley's apartment.)

Marco Vigato appears on Dreamland for the first time with a new look at Atlantis. Instead of assuming that a seafaring civilization now called Atlantis perished during the upheavals of the Younger Dryas 12,000 years ago, Marco looks at much broader cycles, suggesting that more than one great human civilization has risen and fallen over a much, much longer period of time. He has personally visited ruins all over the world and his book is filled with often startling photographs of the spectacular engineering left behind by our lost past.Dreamland guests Andrew Collins, Cliff Dunning, Laird Scranton, Rand Flem-Ath, Frank Joseph and Doug Kenyon all gave “the Empires of Atlantis” ringing endorsements, and when you dig into this eye-opening adventure, you will too!In the third half hour of the show, Whitley surprises us with some gorgeous short sayings that he received from Anne on October 28 of last year. It has taken him this long to understand how he wants to present them and what he wants to say. Some samples: “Your body is your time machine.” “From outside of time, everything that has ever happened appears as a little flicker.”Don't miss this warm, rich and love-filled talk. One of the greatest things about our website is its documentation of the continuing relationship between Anne and Whitley, and this is a very special example of it.

This profound discussion is rich with meaning–so rich, that you can feel it in all sorts of ways as you listen. We are much more than our usual, everyday selves, and it's the experience of this reviewer that there are energies in this deep and searching discussion that feed the parts of us that want to see beyond the cares of ordinary experience, and go higher.Although they don't speak about the Gurdjieff Work in detail, both Fran Shaw and Whitley are engaged in it, and the power of their inner work is communicated here with often startling clarity.They discuss a book that Fran has written, “I Am Stories” that concerns experiences at a very special retreat in Switzerland. The master of the retreat, called in the book, “LeClair,” is no longer alive, but what Fran has done in memorializing the power of his work is a real blessing. Each of the stories approaches the journey toward real awakening in a different way, and Whitley explores them with Fran with his usual detailed attention to the contents of the book and what the author is trying to say. Expect moving, expect funny, expect joyous, and above all, expect enlightening.This is truly a work of high attention and great love, and I am so grateful that they did it.

Keith Thompson is the author of one of the great classics of UFO studies, Angels and Aliens. He joins us on Dreamland for the first time in a rich and exceptional show, a vision of the UFO phenomenon that is light-years beyond the usual idea of aliens speeding around in flying saucers–but DOES respect that as one probable part of a mystery that, when it is finally understood, is going to change the world and change mankind forever.Here, Whitley takes Keith deep into areas that are rarely visited on most shows and podcasts, and we sit back and learn a whole new way of thinking about this amazing subject.Keith's book, Angels and Aliens is now out of print, but copies can be found at Powells, Alibris, Amazon, Ebay and other locations. His NEW book, Cosmos Calling, is still in preparation, and Keith will be back to talk about it as soon as it's available. Before that, he and Whitley will revisit to discuss his near death experience and his extensive knowledge of NDEs.Keith will be back with us when his new book, Cosmos Calling, is published. In the meantime, the San Francisco Chronicle called Angels and Aliens “magnificent.”

Debra Jordan Kauble (Kathie Davis of Budd Hopkins' Intruders) goes deeply into the question of how mankind is going to face the fact that somebody is here. As former Undersecretary of Defense Chris Mellon has recently offered the opinion that the most probable explanation is “aliens,” more official acknowledgement might not be far off.Back when Deb was with us in July, nobody in the official world had suggested any such thing. But Chris is a bellweather and we can expect more such statements later.So how does the average person, totally unprepared and unconcerned, face this and deal with it? A big part of the answer is going to come from the close encounter community, and as Deb is among the most articulate and thoughtful witnesses in that community, she has a lot to offer.Deb's life experience has been a long trajectory from pain, fear and confusion to deeper understanding of what happened to her and her family, what has happened since, and what it means to live with this strange new reality that, as she says in the show, may go far beyond the typical assumptions about what aliens are and what contact means.

John Ramirez is a 25-year CIA officer now retired. On October 1 of last year, he gave Dreamlanders detailed information about how to file Freedom of Information Act requests that actually work, and talked about how the intelligence community handles UFO information (or doesn't.) Since that first appearance, he has given many interviews, so what does he have left to say?When Whitley asks the questions, A LOT!John begins with an amazing report on Russian efforts to draw a UFO into landing, and exactly what they accomplished in this process, and the technology that they used to do it. Then he explains how the Airborne Object Identification Management Synchronizing Group will work and whether or not it will provide new public information.And then there follows an INCREDIBLE discussion between John and Whitley about things like UFO propulsion and what appear to be speculations not only about how they are powered but how they are controlled. Or are they “speculations” very much in quotes? Neither man says.And if that wasn't enough, THEN we go on into John's own close encounter experiences.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comClick the free link below and get the show On Demand and listen to any of Whitley Strieber 's programs whenever you like 'On Demand' here: https://www.spreaker.com/.../dreamland-with-whitley...Tune in to all of our LIVE Programs, FREE! https://paranormal.radio/program/the_un_x_networkhttp://UnXnetwork.com

Kevin Day was U.S. Navy Operations Specialist and Topgun air intercept controller, and was the radar operator who initially detected and eventually intercepted the Nimitz Tic-Tac UAPs in 2004. He retired in 2008, but the Tic-Tac incident is not where his story ends, it's where it BEGINS. Kevin is now part of the experiencer community and he has a tremendously important story to tell. Something is happening to the people of Planet Earth. So far, this is confined to the experiencer community, but that is likely to change.What will it be like? Listen to Kevin's powerful and unforgettable story of how his life unfolded since the Tic-Tac incident, and why he believes something similar is going to happen to every single person on Earth.

You've probably never heard of Leigh McCloskey. He is a close friend of Stash Klossowski de Rola, the alchemist who so fascinated us on Dreamland a few weeks ago. He is an artist, the creator of one of the most extraordinary artworks in the world, the Heiroglyph of the Human Soul, which is located in his home studio in his native town of Malibu, California–and, in fact, IS the studio, as the art has extended throughout the room to form one of the most powerful stories in imagery created in our era.Leigh is also the author of the Tar0t Re-Visioned, an epic retelling of the myths hidden in the Tarot, an effort 18 years in the creation. He and Whitley have been close friends for many years, joined with Stash on a profound inner and outer journey toward greater consciousness, and in this wondrous show, Leigh tells us of his life's work, both as a spiritual searcher and as the protector of his home, Olandar, which is a place of spiritual exploration and retreat for many people.Listen as he tells of what it was like as the massive Woolsey Fire of 2018 bore down on Olandar, and Whitley and many others, lacking any physical means to save the house, used special energies even as Leigh and his wife Carla fought the flames that were roaring down their street in the form of a fire tornado.This is a deep and powerful show about a man all but unknown to the public, but who has achieved great mastery. Anne Strieber, who knew a lot about what a true master is, said after meeting him, “Leigh is a hidden master.”Meet this hidden master in this week's Dreamland.

On August 17, 2021, there was an improbable press conference held on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Anjali Schultz, a retired intelligence officer with a distinguished career, announced that she had met aliens in a cave in the Mojave Desert and was going to lead a group of scientists into the cave on December 21 in order for them to experience a face-to-face meeting with aliens.There was an immediate explosion of interest–and skepticism. While some lobbied to be in that group, others scoffed. Talk show hosts lined up for interviews. People tried to find the cave. But then December 21 came and went, and it didn't happen.Anjali was dismissed as just another contactee with a wild story, one of a long line that starts with George Adamski and goes right up through Betty Hill and Betty Andreasson Luca and Whitley Strieber and all the rest. How did Anjali end up in that cave–and was there even a cave? What really happened? Was she drugged? Crazy? Part of some esoteric intelligence operation? Was this a mistake or even a hoax that contained an element of truth? Or was there something deeper going on, and if so, how should we take it?The UFO and close encounter phenomenon is notoriously ambiguous, and in this interview, Whitley concentrates on hidden meanings that nobody else has discussed, without ignoring the deep contradictions in the story.Listen as Whitey gently and persistently explores the depths of the mystery with Anjali. This is, and will remain, the only interview of its kind with this enigmatic individual. Nobody in the world but Whitley can ask the questions he asks.Just as there is more to many contact stories, there is more to the Anjali Schultz story. This show is about that “more.”

Mark Stavish knows his Masonic history, and in this searching interview, he takes us deep into some of its most hidden recesses. There is a resurgence of Masonry as a spiritual practice and a quest for self-realization, and in this interview Whitley's own profound esoteric understanding intersects with Mark's deep knowledge in what turns into a enlightening, and finally riveting, exploration of lost secrets and how they are finally re-emerging into the modern Masonic movement.What is Masonry? Why, as it is devoted to doing good, is it looked upon with such suspicion by so many? Where did it come from and, more importantly, where is it going right now? Is there a place in it for the spiritual searcher, or is it primarily a social and charitable organization?All of these questions and more are covered here. Some of the deeper ones: What is the significance of the three gifts of the Magi, and who was Hermes Trismigistus? What is the connection between Masonry and the Knights Templar, and what was the real secret that they brought out of the Islamic world to Christendom?Get set for a wonderful adventure of soul and mind.

On July 15, Whitley was meditating at about 4AM when two loud booms detonated in quick succession outside of his house. He assumed that they were firecrackers and thought nothing of it. But then, at 3:56 AM on July 23,the same thing happened. This time he was not in the house and his surveillance system recorded the sounds and the flash that went with them. A video expert observed that the flash appeared to come from above the house. Although he couldn't definitively identify the cause of the sounds, it later developed that numerous people in the area heard it and saw the flashes and reported this on the Neighbors neighborhood events app. Reports came from about a square mile area.While these could have been fireworks or gunshots, there are interesting reasons discussed in the show that suggest that this may not be the case.This week, Linda Moulton Howe joins Whitley to discuss the event and compare some similar videos that she has collected over the years. Whitley's friends don't call his condo “the unquiet flat” for nothing! THEN we move on to a powerful discussion with Mia Feroleto about her final Consciousness and Contact Conference, held two weeks ago in South Dakota. Whitley once again had a look into what appears to be another world while at the conference. You can read about that here. Mia tells us of the many high-intensity events that transpired at this remarkable conference.

This week's Dreamland: We don't normally bring a guest back after just a month, but this interview is brain-bending. Melinda Leslie of UFOSightingTours joined us on August 6 to talk about her UFO sightings tours and much besides. However, we did not get to the subjects of military abductions and hybrids. Now we have. And it is astonishing material, and a powerful reminder of how radically different the lives of close encounter witnesses are from ordinary lives.Very frankly, this has to be one of the most powerful, ultra-high strangeness interviews ever to appear on Dreamland. Listen and Melinda tells her completely remarkable story–and reflect, as you listen, that this is a person who regularly, reliably, night after night, can cause UFOs to appear in the sky, virtually at will.This remarkable individual will now tell us some of the most incredible and strangest stories we–even Whitley–has ever heard. We live surrounded by ultra high strangeness. Don't dismiss it. Don't ignore it. Open your mind to the wonder, the strangeness and the burning questions that this interview brings to mind.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.com

With 25 years of experience as an intelligence officer, John Ramirez has extensive knowledge about how the US intelligence community collects information, which agencies collect which kind, and how to use FOIA requests effectively to gain access to information that has never been requested in the right way before. For example, agencies probably have electronic and other information related to the Tic-Tac and Gimbal videos released by the Navy Department that would be made available if the right requests were made to the right places. Here, John tells us how each agency collects information and what each would be likely to possess. He was in Technical Electronic Intelligence, and also served in the Directorate of Intelligence, and in the National Counter Proliferation Center.THEN, in the third half hour, there develops one of the most profound conversations in the long history of Dreamland when Whitley asks John about his own experiences. As an intelligence officer who has also had extraordinary experiences, John is very definitely not alone, but his eloquence and candor are unique. This beautiful and enlightening conversation between him and Whitley is unforgettable.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.com

You will not forget that moment, or, for that matter, anything about this rich and insightful discussion.

UFO researcher Kathleen Marden is the niece of Betty and Barney Hill, who were the subjects in 1961 of one of the best documented of all abduction experiences. Not only were physical traces left behind, Barney remembered much of what happened to them from the beginning. Here, Kathleen describes the moment the phone rang when she was a 13 year old girl, and it was her Aunt Betty on the phone telling her mother one of the most remarkable stories in history. It later became the book Incident and Exeter, and there is now a memorial plaque along the New Hampshire highway where it happened.But Kathleen and Whitley go FAR BEYOND the Hill story, exploring the close encounter experience and what is unfolding now among close encounter witnesses since abductions have become rare.Don't miss a single word of this great interview, especially as they get into the richness of the current close encounter experience and compare it, as really nobody else can, to what has come before.

Is our world a simulation? If so, then what are WE? MIT computer scientist Riz Virk explores these amazing questions with Whitley this week. Why are they amazing? Because they need to be asked–and can be asked–at all. Advances in physics and computer science have opened some very serious questions about whether or not reality as we know it is–well–real. And if it isn't, what does that mean to us chess pieces? Can we do anything about how we're moved about on the board? If so, that would look like magic. So, is that the destiny of science, to become what we now think of as magic?Are the chess pieces about to take over the game? Or are we going to be swept off the board forever?Find out the latest theories in this intense and provocative conversation! AND, if you are a subscriber listen-watch as Whitley asks Riz about the nature of the grays and why they might be called watchers, and who the watchers of the bible may be. This amazing show comes close to getting a glimpse BEYOND the walls of our reality. Plus, there's a great discussion of what UFOs are and how they may represent penetrations into our universe of a very unexpected kind. This Dreamland will set your mind on fire! (Listen closely in the last half hour for some eerie speculations about who the grays may actually be…looking in from the outside.)

Now that there has been an official admission that UFOs/UAPs are real objects and a genuine unknown, what about the close encounter experience? New York Times reporter Ralph Blumenthal has published an important article in the Debrief discussing this very question. Why can't at least the media be more open, or is that happening? And what do we actually know? Do we have any hard evidence of a relationship between UFOs and abductions, or not? And what about the trajectory of the experience that many of us are noticing, from a shocking initial abduction to a life in contact that becomes richer and richer over time? As one of America's most distinguished reporters, Ralph brings a thoughtful and professional approach to this interview. WE will certainly learn a lot from it, but will the media, science, and those in government who conceal the truth? Let's hope some of them listen!

n this amazing episode of Dreamland, Robert W. Sullivan IV returns to talk about movie symbolism–and it turns out to be one of the most powerful and provocative shows we have ever done! Robert not only clues us in to the hidden symbolism that exists in the movies, he and Whitley go deeper in the third half hour, describing how to turn your enjoyment of great movies like the Star Wars Trilogy and Christopher Nolan's Batman movies into a transformative part of your own inner journey!Nobody–but nobody–has ever talked about these subjects in this way before. Nobody has any real idea that there is a profound spiritual journey on offer in the movies, but it is there.For example, did you know that Gnosticism and Alchemy play a huge role in the movies, and that Jacob's Ladder is really the Ladder of Osiris, that is to say, the spine, and that the creators of the film clearly understood this?

Skinwalkers at the Pentagon - Is the book a UFO Study? Is it threat related? Whitley gives a full 90 minutes with George Knapp, James Lacatski, Colm Kelleher and the authors of the book. A brilliant conversation for the listener to hear and study the book and its claims.

Famed UFO analyst and researcher Richard Dolan joins Whitley for this searching exploration of just what our visitors may want. You'll learn about the mysterious microcephalin gene that is what caused the human brain to grow larger when it appeared about 40,000 years ago. But where did it come from?
