Dreams and death: Do dreams show us what it’ll be like to be dead? Our guest this week is Jenna Farr Ludwig. Jenna starts by describing two death dreams from childhood in one of which she dreamed of her mom falling off a cliff shortly before her mom died in a waking-life car wreck. We talk about pre-diagnosis dreams, dreams before death, visitation dreams, and about how to distinguish death dreams that are related to physical death vs death dreams that signal transformation and growth. We also talk about what dreams may have to say about what it will be like to be dead. After the break we hear from four listeners. First Lenore from Oakland gives examples of some dreams that have made her less frightened of dying. Then David Jenkins (episode link is below) from Berkeley talks about sequences of visitation dreams and about how they can evolve. Rick Kleffel, DJ radio engineer and music creator, comments that dreams may be a foretaste of death in that they are experiences we have in which the physical body plays little or no role. Third, Dylan calls from Florida to share some of his profound reincarnation dreams. Finally, Ray from Santa Cruz calls to ask about how to talk to loved ones who have passed away. Authors we talked about included Christopher Kerr, Robert Monroe, Edward Cayce, Carl Jung (Memories, Dreams, and Reflections), and Marie Louise von Franz. BIO: Jenna Farr Ludwig is a certified dream guide and spiritual mentor with a Master's of Arts in Transpersonal Studies and over 40 years of experience.

In this classic episode I am talking to Dr Christopher Kerr about Death Bed Visions and his book 'Death is But a Dream: Hope and Meaning at Life's End'.In recent weeks, I've been thinking about a few standout episodes from the early days of the podcast. They are full of great information and I thought it would be a good idea to share them again for listeners who may have missed them the first time around. Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet he has cared for thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love and grace. Beyond the physical realities of dying are unseen processes that are remarkably life-affirming. These include dreams that are unlike any regular dream. Described as "more real than real," these end-of-life experiences resurrect past relationships, meaningful events and themes of love and forgiveness; they restore life's meaning and mark the transition from distress to comfort and acceptance.Drawing on interviews with over 1,400 patients and more than a decade of quantified data, Dr. Kerr reveals that pre-death dreams and visions are extraordinary occurrences that humanize the dying process. He shares how his patients' stories point to death as not solely about the end of life, but as the final chapter of humanity's transcendence. Kerr's book also illuminates the benefits of these phenomena for the bereaved, who find solace in seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure.Beautifully written, with astonishing real-life characters and stories, this book is at its heart a celebration of our power to reclaim the dying process as a deeply meaningful one. Death Is But a Dream is an important contribution to our understanding of medicine's and humanity's greatest mystery.BioChristopher Kerr, MD, PhD, is the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer forHospice & Palliative Care Buffalo. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Chris earned his MDas well as a PhD in Neurobiology. Dr. Kerr received numerous awards throughouttraining that recognized his clinical performance, as well as his success as an educator andscientist. Chris's background in research has evolved from bench science toward the humanexperience of illness as witnessed from the bedside, specifically patients' dreams and visionsat the end of life. Although medically ignored, these near-universal experiences often providecomfort and meaning, as well as insight into the life led and the death anticipated. To date,the research team at Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo has published multiple studies on thistopic and documented over 1,500 end-of-life events, many of which are videotaped.This work was the subject of Chris's TEDx Buffalo Talk, which has been viewedapproximately 3 million times and has been the subject of reports on BBC and in The NewYork Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Scientific American Mind, HuffingtonPost and Psychology Today. It will also be featured in an upcoming Netflix production and apublic television documentary film to be released nationally in early 2021. Dr. Kerr's workwas also published by Penguin Random House earlier this year in a book called Death Is Buta Dream, which is now being released in multiple languages.https://www.amazon.com/Death-But-Dream-Finding-Meaning-ebook/dp/B07SRQC373/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1613916946&sr=8-1https://www.drchristopherkerr.com/https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death--5220623/support.

Dr. Christopher Kerr is the chief executive officer and chief medical officer at the Centre for Hospice and Palliative Care in Buffalo. For 14 years, Kerr and his team of researchers have been studying end-of-life dreams and visions.

Dr. Christopher Kerr has spent years interviewing dying patients about the dreams they have as the end of life gets closer. He tells Matt Galloway those dreams and visions can be profound for both the patient and their loved ones.

Christopher Kerr es un médico y neurocientífico que afirma que al final de sus vidas, las personas tienen visiones sobre sus seres amados que les hacen sentir reconfortadas ante la muerte.

George Noory and neurobiologist Dr. Christopher Kerr explore his research into the dying process, how patients are comforted by visions and dreams of deceased loved ones preparing to welcome them to the other side, and how dying can be a way of honoring the life that you lived.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who will you see as you approach the final exit? Dreams and visions at the end of life are significant and unique, according to research done at Hospice and Palliative Care Buffalo, USA. These end-of-life experiences (ELE'S) include images and experiences of those we loved who have died before us, be they parents, partners or pets. They may also be opportunities to confront and release old trauma. Dave had the opportunity for a short interview with Dr Christopher Kerr, CEO and Chief Medical Officer at the Hospice, physician, researcher and author of Death is But a Dream, the book based on his and his team's research on end-of-life dreams and visions. This episode includes the interview, and Laura and Dave's discussion of the interview and the implications of the research. -- Your dreams are significant and unique, too!

Dr. Christopher Kerr is an end life researcher, a hospice physician, CEO and Chief Medical Officer for Hospice and Palliative Care in Buffalo, NY, and the acclaimed author of Death is But a Dream. He provided hospice care for Matt Moran and his family in August, 2023. His extraordinary care and guidance was impactful and comforting for the family in the moment and in the grieving process that followed. As Matt would certainly would have wished and how he so often did with this podcast, we are passing along the lessons and spreading the good word about Dr. Kerr.Dr. Kerr's work, his research, book, and films are based on his experience and research working with hospice patients and seeing the extraordinary way the mind connects reality to the thoughts, visions and dreams of the dying. His work validates these powerful moments and brings comfort to family and to the emotions that come at the end of life. Dr Kerr defines End of Life Experiences or ELEs as significant, subjective experiences within the dying process that occur while asleep or awake. They can happen hours, weeks or even months before a person passes and may increase in frequency as patients approach death. These experiences are indeed gifts and impact the bereaved because “how people leave us matters,” says Dr. Kerr. His website provides many resources for learning more about his work, including:·     View the award winning TED talk from 2015 titled  ‘I See Dead People, Dreams and Visions of the Dying” to learn more about Dr. Kerr's perspective on End of Life Experiences.·       Order the book, Death is But a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning in the End of Life, by Dr. Christopher Kerr, available from numerous book outlets. ·      His film, also titled Death is but a Dream, shares many patient stories. This is available for viewing on YouTube  or you can watch a short preview here.·       End-of-Life Experience Research In this podcast, Bill Moran and Dr. Kerr talk though many of these topics and how Dr. Kerr helps brings perspective, purpose and meaning to the final days of a life. You will also hear how Bill was able to piece together what he was feeling as his brother was saying goodbye, the love and connection that was present, and the awareness of the power and incredible gift that came from this time that will last forever for him and the family. While the emotions don't necessarily become less painful, talking through what is happening and what it all means shines light on the process. With that perspective comes much more joy, much more impact, and less focus on the loss and declining health of the individual.

It is such a whole person experience. We really are making sure that not only the patient is taken care of, their mind/body/spirit, but their family as well. And I was not taught that in nursing school.” 8:31 “If you have religious trauma, maybe you don't want to read some of these things. But I've been really shocked about the amount of people who say that this helped them with religious trauma. And they loved reading a book that says, ‘yes I was raised in the church, but I have now taken care of people from all backgrounds, all denominations, and I see that it can be beautiful and peaceful no matter what', and they said that it has helped them.” 10:25 Hallucination vs. truly seeing dead loved ones. 11:58 Who are we to correct a dying loved one by telling them that they're hallucinating and no one is in the room?! 14:40 Hadley hasn't witnessed a patient who has had a bad experience when it comes to seeing dead loved ones at the end of life. 16:41 Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Christopher Kerr, and seeing a mist at the time of death. 17:49 Hospice isn't in the business of speeding up death.

This is the second episode with ⁠Simon Bown. Simon Bown is the host of The Past Lives Podcast and The Alien UFO Podcast. He has a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and is certified in Past Life Regression Therapy. He specialises in taking people through past life regressions and has conducted a large number of sessions. He has had many paranormal experiences including psychic flashes, UFO sightings and a number of strange events not easily explained. These have proved to me that there is something more to us than flesh and blood and that we are energetic beings working through a cycle of reincarnation with the aim of experiencing everything there is to be experienced as a human being. He has had three remarkable incidences of feathers showing up in an unexpected and profound way while discussing angels with mediums. He took part in his first past life regression in 1987 at the College of Psychic Studies in London. The thoughts and feelings he experienced have stayed with him to this day. Since then he has viewed several other past lives through hypnotic regression. They have never failed to provoke intense feelings and give him great insight into his life today. He has produced over 250 podcast episodes. Each one is an hour long interview with a researcher or someone who has had an amazing experience. Almost all of the guests have written a book and in preparation for each episode Simon reads the guest's book to give him the knowledge to ask in depth questions.

Simon Bown is the host of The Past Lives Podcast. He has a diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and is certified in Past Life Regression Therapy. He specialises in taking people through past life regressions and has conducted a large number of sessions. He has had many paranormal experiences including psychic flashes, UFO sightings and a number of strange events not easily explained. These have proved to me that there is something more to us than flesh and blood and that we are energetic beings working through a cycle of reincarnation with the aim of experiencing everything there is to be experienced as a human being. He has had three remarkable incidences of feathers showing up in an unexpected and profound way while discussing angels with mediums. He took part in his first past life regression in 1987 at the College of Psychic Studies in London. The thoughts and feelings he experienced have stayed with him to this day. Since then he has viewed several other past lives through hypnotic regression. They have never failed to provoke intense feelings and give him great insight into his life today. He has produced over 250 podcast episodes. Each one is an hour long interview with a researcher or someone who has had an amazing experience. Almost all of the guests have written a book and in preparation for each episode Simon reads the guest's book to give him the knowledge to ask in depth questions.

Join host Eli Nash on this episode of In Search of More as he engages in a profound conversation with Dr. Christopher Kerr, a renowned hospice and palliative care physician. Together, they dive into the captivating realm of end-of-life experiences and the intricate process of dying. Dr. Kerr sheds light on the remarkable phenomenon of comforting dreams and visions that accompany patients as they journey inward. As death draws near, these dreams evolve, drawing upon profound loving relationships, often involving those who have departed before the patient. With utmost reverence and respect, Dr. Kerr emphasizes the significance of embracing and acknowledging these experiences. Surprisingly, he reveals that patients continue to grow and learn during their decline, defying the constraints of physical deterioration. Furthermore, the conversation explores how end-of-life experiences can serve as transformative catalysts for individuals burdened by traumatic pasts, enabling them to rediscover connections and find meaning amidst their lives and beliefs. In a critical reflection on the flaws of the medical system, the speakers highlight the imperative to prioritize patient comfort and presence, rather than solely focusing on curing the disease—a timeless reminder of the oath taken by doctors.

Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, is the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer for Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo. Alongside direct patient care, Dr. Kerr's focus is in the areas of leadership and patient advocacy. He has overseen the integration and expansion of palliative care into hospitals and developed a large home-based program for both adults and children and has published on innovative program models that are designed to better align patient/family services to the complexity of needs inherent to advanced illness.Dr. Kerr's background in research has evolved from bench science toward the human experience of illness as witnessed from the bedside, specifically patients' dreams and visions at the end of life. Although medically ignored, these near-universal experiences often provide comfort and meaning, as well as insight into the life led and the death anticipated. To date, the research team at Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo has published multiple studies on this topic and documented over 1,500 end-of-life events, many of which are videotaped.Dr. Kerr's work was published in a recent book called Death Is but a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning at Life's End.Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet, he has cared for thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love and grace. Beyond the physical realities of dying are unseen processes that are remarkably life-affirming. These include dreams that are unlike any regular dream. Described as "more real than real", these end-of-life experiences resurrect past relationships, meaningful events, and themes of love and forgiveness; they restore life's meaning and mark the transition from distress to comfort and acceptance. Drawing on interviews with over 1,400 patients and more than a decade of quantified data, Dr. Kerr reveals that pre-death dreams and visions are extraordinary occurrences that humanize the dying process. He shares how his patients' stories point to death as not solely about the end of life, but as the final chapter of humanity's transcendence. Kerr's audiobook also illuminates the benefits of these phenomena for the bereaved, who find solace in seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure. Beautifully written, with astonishing real-life characters and stories, this audiobook is at its heart a celebration of our power to reclaim the dying process as a deeply meaningful one.

The majority of these cases come from fully conscious recall rather than memories retrieved through hypnosis. Face-to-face confrontations, missing-time, onboard UFO experiences -- these accounts show what it's like to have direct contact with beings from beyond Earth.Chapter One: Four teenagers are confronted with a UFO and experience missing time, each of them recalling different portions of what actually happened.Chapter Two: A young girl has a very close encounter with a UFO, and years later, both she and her son are visited by an entity her son calls “The Bony Crab Monster.”Chapter Three: When a local farmer reports UFOs over his farm, two friends go to check it out and end up being followed home by UFOs. One of them is struck by a beam of light, beginning an ordeal that haunts him for the rest of his life.Chapter Four: After visiting a person who “channels” ETs, a young woman asks to go onboard the ETs spaceship. In a classic case of “Be Careful What You Ask For,” the woman discovers that she has invited the aliens into her life.Chapter Five: A married couple who both have a history of encounters visit Sedona, Arizona and come upon a UFO landed alongside the road. Both are taken onboard and experience an adventure that will leave them forever changed.Chapter Six: A psychologist crashes her motorcycle on a remote highway late at night. Stranded and alone, her ETs show up again and rescue her in a very unusual way.Chapter Seven: A mother and two sons experience six hours of missing time after a UFO encounter late at night. Years later, as an adult, one of her sons suddenly recalls everything that happened on that fateful night.Chapter Eight: A woman is enjoying a quiet night at home when she is visited by a gray-type extraterrestrial who communicates with her through automatic writing, relaying profound messages both personal and for all of humankind.Chapter Nine: Two young boys experience missing time on Catalina Island. Later one of them recalls what happened: he was taken to what appears to be an underground alien base.Chapter Ten: An office-worker and her friends take a spontaneous trip to Area 51 in the Nevada Desert and see UFOs for the first time. She is later taken onboard a craft and undergoes one of the most bizarre contacts on record.Ten cases, each told in the witnesses' own words, each providing fascinating insights into the nature and origin of these strange visitors to our planet. Fully illustrated by award-winning artist, Kesara, this book will change the way you view extraterrestrials and the UFO phenomenon.Preston's BiographyPreston Dennett began investigating UFOs and the paranormal in 1986 when he discovered that his family, friends and co-workers were having dramatic unexplained encounters. Since then, he has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated a wide variety of paranormal phenomena. He is a field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a ghost hunter, a paranormal researcher, and the author of 29 books and more than 100 articles on UFOs and the paranormal.

https://youtu.be/nus96DqC1Rw The International Day of Hope and Healing After Loss Conference, brought you you by the Open to Hope Foundation, helping people find hope after loss.

Could it be that the universal realization of our spirituality will serve as the catalyst for a new era for the evolution of humanity? Might this be the key that unlocks the door to that “era of well-being” which Ervin and Fred have been heralding through their work? And more to the point of today's program, how can Near Death Experiences (NDEs) and paranormal activity provide us with information about the spiritual realm? In today's podcast we are joined by Eben Alexander and Karen Newell, best-selling authors and co-authors of several books, including Proof of Heaven, Living in a Mindful Universe, and The Map of Heaven. Karen is also founder of Sacred Acoustics, a therapeutic program utilizing audio signals embedded in recordings to help calm the mind to reduce anxiety and stress and improve sleep and focus. Dr. Alexander is a well-known neurosurgeon and the survivor of his own NDE from 2008. In this, so to speak, report from the afterlife, Eben and Karen speak eloquently about how NDEs and paranormal experiences provide us with valuable information regarding spirituality and the relation of the spiritual to our physical lives here on planet earth. From this information, we are also provided with information about the meaning life, and of death. It also raises questions concerning the maintenance of our spiritual health? And what does it mean to live forever?Sacred Acoustics:https://www.sacredacoustics.com/Dr. Eben Alexander's website:www.ebenalexander.com Click on titles for links to books:Living in a Mindful UniverseThe Map of HeavenProof of HeavenDR EBEN ALEXANDER: After decades as a physician and teacher at Harvard Medical School and elsewhere, renowned academic neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander thought he knew how the brain, mind, and consciousness worked. A transcendental Near-Death Experience (NDE) during a week-long coma from an inexplicable brain infection changed all of that – completely. Memories of his life had been completely deleted, yet he awoke with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm –more real than this earthly one!Since his 2008 NDE he has been reconciling his rich spiritual experience with contemporary physics and cosmology. We are conscious in spite of our brain. By probing deeply into our own consciousness, we transcend the limits of the human brain, and of the physical-material realm. His story offers a crucial key to the understanding of reality and human consciousness. A pioneering scientist and thought leader in consciousness studies, Dr. Alexander has been a guest on Dr. Oz, Oprah, and many other media programs. His most recent book, Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Heart of Consciousness (co-authored with Karen Newell), has garnered accolades from many scientists around the world who study the mind-body question and the nature of consciousness. His earlier books, Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife and The Map of Heaven: How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the Afterlife, have collectively spent more than two years atop the New York Times and international bestseller lists. KAREN NEWELL: As an innovator in the emerging field of brainwave entrainment audio meditation, Karen Newell, co-founder of Sacred Acoustics, empowers others in their journeys of self-discovery. Using Sacred Acoustics recordings, she teaches how to connect to inner guidance, achieve inspiration, improve wellness and develop intuition. In her search for answers to fundamental questions, it became clear that direct experience is crucial to full understanding. To bolster her strong sense of inner knowing and alignment with her higher nature, she enrolled in a series of hands-on experiential courses to investigate and develop such skills as lucid dreaming, astral travel, telepathy, remote viewing, self-hypnosis, and different forms of energy healing.She developed a facile expertise in living through daily connection with universal consciousness using heart awareness as a central element. At international workshops presented with best-selling author Dr. Eben Alexander, Karen demonstrates key practices of consciousness exploration: heart awareness, intention, maintaining neutrality, emotional management and cultivating internal knowing. She is co-author with Dr. Alexander of their latest book, Living in a Mindful Universe: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Heart of Consciousness.

In Part II of this conversation with Dr Christopher Kerr, he and I get into some nitty-gritty about what it would take to have more of us choose hospice sooner – thereby improving patient satisfaction, extending lives, lowering costs, and for sure increasing the quality of our final days. What gets in the way of doing what would make such a difference?

Dr. Christopher Kerr – of Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo – studies and works daily with people who are at the end of their lives. After realizing that many of his patients had extraordinary experiences as death approached, he decided to design studies that would tabulate these experiences in a meaningful way. Dr. Kerr sees that these visions and healing experiences are “enormous gifts” to the dying and also to those left behind. They impact the bereaved because “how people leave us matters” – how we grieve is impacted by how we experienced the death. Listen in as Dr. Kerr and I discuss all of this and so much more in Part I of our conversation!

Big Ideas: 1.What is a Shared Death Experience [6:56] – A shared death experience occurs when somebody is dying and a caregiver, loved one, or a bystander feels like they shared in that person's transition. In some cases, this person will observe the initial stages of the afterlife – where they see the dying person there or sense that it is where they are going. It is sharing the journey of the experience with the dying person. It is the movement from this human experience through the portal of death to another realm of existence and the observer feels like they shared in that journey.   2.There are 4 Types of Shared Death Experiences [8:49] – These are “modes of participation” for the experiencer. There are four ways a person can feel themselves in the shared death experience. The first and most common type is sensing. Sensing that a loved one or some person is transitioning. It can be bedside but is most commonly remote. You can be halfway around the world and have a sense that someone you love is dying. It is usually highly energetic and intuitive – a knowing that you feel in your gut. The second type is witnessing phenomena related to death or death itself. Witnessing the dying person in this stage of transition or elevated beings/heavenly realms in the form of luminous light, etc. The third mode of participation is accompanying. You can accompany or move along with the dying person on the pathway to the afterlife. The last and final mode is guiding. The experiencer reports that they were brought into the experience to guide the dying along their pathway.   3. Pre-Death Dreams, Visions, and Visitations [14:44] – Research provided by Dr. Christopher Kerr from the Buffalo inpatient Hospice says that 80% of his patients have a pre-death dream or vision. The term “dream” is used loosely – these usually come in the form of visitations from deceased loved ones that is observed by the caregiver (the patient is telling them they see the person or is having a conversation with them). At some point, the death of the person begins and the journey to transition starts. Often the messaging from these visitations to the dying person is to “get ready.” The shared death experience begins when that journey begins. The science of physics supports the fact that energy cannot be destroyed – it can only change forms.   4. The Benefits to the World of Bringing Back the Sacredness of End-of-Life Experiences [20:00] – Acknowledging death as a natural part of life can bring us closer together as communities and families. The awareness of death can allow us to communicate, connect, and express ourselves more effectively. It allows us to love each other with death as part of life instead of something we ignore. To gain the perspective of life being a gift, we must hold death in our minds. Death is as integral to life as birth is and we need to honor it is a society. The approach to death in modern society is not natural. It is a protracted, inefficient, and unhealthy response to the fear of death. Anything we can do to bring death and all its grandeur back into the fold of our conversations and everyday life, the better the benefits could be for all of us.   5. Death Changes Our Lives [24:30] – When I got into nursing, I realized how end of life was not going well for people. I transitioned into hospice care thinking it would be better – but it wasn't. I thought to myself, “How in the world did something that is 100% guaranteed in our journey become so far removed and so feared?” It took a year and a half of my nursing career before I saw a beautiful death and I realized that if people knew how beautiful it could be that they would never be afraid – and that started my journey. We are all so much more similar than we think. It doesn't matter where you live in the world, how much money you have, what color you are, or what religion you practice – we all die the same way. We all have the same humanity within us. If we just absorbed the fact that we are so much more similar than different and brought that awareness into the world today it would be a game changer. Death has taught me that time is our most valuable commodity, and that life is about connection, not the goals we pursue. Death is not a medical experience, it's a human one. If we bring that perspective back into our society and take a holistic approach to it, we can really change the way end of life goes for everyone in the world.   Resources: – Get the FREE DEATH DOULA GUIDE HERE: https://www.doulagivers.com/death-dou...   Join the FREE MEMBERSHIP SITE HERE: https://www.facebook.com/groups/44916...

Avanlee Care for the Elder Born and raised in Montana, Avanlee developed the nationally available Avanlee Care app to fill a void that once existed in her life. When Avanlee turned 10, her grandfather fell ill. For the next eight years, she watched as her grandmother, her parents, and her aunts and uncles all helped care for him. In 2008, her grandfather passed away. Avanlee decided that there had to be a better way to care for someone like this but the technology was not yet in place. And so Avanlee the app was born. Today she continues to use the app to stay closer and support her Grandmother, Barb. The Avanlee app exists for families struggling to care for a family member in need while juggling their own family, career, and time. This all-in-one solution aids the children of aging adults by offering a comprehensive set of tools to help provide better community and care for families. https://avanleecare.com Christopher Kerr, MD, Ph.D., is the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer for Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo.

It's not easy to talk about death. We associate dying with so much suffering and loss. But for many people, the end of life is full of peaceful remembrance of the moments and relationships that have meant the most. For the leading man in Puccini's Tosca, that's the sweetness and beauty of his beloved.  Caught up in the messy politics of his time, Mario Cavaradossi has been arrested, interrogated, and tortured. And then, he's sentenced to death. “E lucevan le stelle” finds Cavaradossi in his prison cell one hour before his execution. He knows his life is over, and what does he do? He gets lost in a daydream about a passionate night spent with Tosca. Host Rhiannon Giddens and her guests explore the memories and dreams that give us meaning at the end of our lives. Joseph Calleja, A.K.A. The Maltese Tenor, sees a lot of himself in Cavaradossi - they're both men of intensity and passion. He says that if the spectrum of human emotion were a harp, Puccini knew exactly the right string to pluck at just the right moment to convey the emotion the character is feeling. Carolyn Abbate teaches music at Harvard University and writes about opera, including the book A History of Opera. One of the memories that she holds most dear is of an afternoon spent in a meadow with her son when he was young. Dr. Christopher Kerr is the CEO and Chief Medical Officer at Buffalo Hospice and Palliative Care. Chris recently wrote a book called Death is But a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning at LIfe's End, about the dreams and visions that many people experience at the end of their lives. This work was later turned into a film, which became the basis of a Netflix production and a PBS World documentary.

— “End-of-life experiences are proof of humanity's built-in, natural, and profoundly spiritual capacity for self-sustenance and self-healing, grace and hope.” Valeria Teles interviews Dr. Christopher Kerr — the author of “Death Is But a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning in End of Life Dreams.” Christopher Kerr is the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer for The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care in Buffalo, New York. Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Chris earned his MD as well as a PhD in Neurobiology. Outside of direct patient care, Chris' focus is in the area of patient advocacy. His passion is palliative care and a belief that such care should be throughout the continuum of illness. Under Dr. Kerr's medical leadership, Hospice Buffalo now serves 1,000 patients a day, half of whom receive services prior to hospice. Dr. Kerr's background in research has evolved from bench science towards the human experience of illness as witnessed from the bedside, specifically patient's dreams and visions at the end of life. Although medically ignored, these near-universal experiences often provide comfort and meaning, as well as insight into the life led and the death anticipated. To date, the research team at Hospice Buffalo has published multiple studies on this topic and documented over 1,500 end-of-life events, many of which are videotaped.

The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well. 

In North America, few people embrace death as a rich, transformative experience. For most, death is viewed as a physical or medical failure even when scientific research shows dying people feel comforted by pre-death dreams of loved ones, both living and deceased. Why is it so hard for some to believe that there is life after life? Or, that communication exists between terrestrial beings and spiritual beings? To discover more about the joyful process of moving through one's life to the exit door, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors who have written about life after life. Dr. Christopher Kerr, Ph.D., discusses his book and documentary film, Death is But a Dream. And, Mike Anthony shares inspirational stories from his book, Love, Dad about communicating with loved ones who have moved on to a different life experience

Dr. Christopher Kerr, Chief Medical Officer and CEO of The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care in Buffalo, NY, shares what we need to know, separating fact from fiction in the death process. He also talks about the spiritual and uplifting experience that humans have towards the end of life.

In this episode of the Hospice News "Elevate" podcast, Christopher Kerr, M.D., CEO and chief medical officer of Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo, talks about research that examines the death experience from the perspective of the patient, as well as sharing points on financially sustainable palliative care.

I speak with Dr. Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, who is a hospice physician and end of life researcher, about end of life experiences. He wrote “Death Is But a Dream,” which is based on Dr. Kerr's extensive research with hospice patients and their families - which highlights and validates the powerful dreams and visions often experienced at the end of life, that bring comfort and meaning to people who are dying. His Ted talk has over 3 million views, his work is featured in the Netflix docuseries “Surviving Death”, and most recently Dr. Kerr and his research team are featured in a public television documentary, “Death is but a dream”, which premiered on WNED PBS which serves Western New York, and is set to air nationally in April 2021.

This week I am talking to Dr Christopher Kerr about Death Bed Visions and his book 'Death is But a Dream: Hope and Meaning at Life's End'. Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet he has cared for thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love and grace. Beyond the physical realities of dying are unseen processes that are remarkably life-affirming. These include dreams that are unlike any regular dream. Described as "more real than real," these end-of-life experiences resurrect past relationships, meaningful events and themes of love and forgiveness; they restore life's meaning and mark the transition from distress to comfort and acceptance. Drawing on interviews with over 1,400 patients and more than a decade of quantified data, Dr. Kerr reveals that pre-death dreams and visions are extraordinary occurrences that humanize the dying process. He shares how his patients' stories point to death as not solely about the end of life, but as the final chapter of humanity's transcendence. Kerr's book also illuminates the benefits of these phenomena for the bereaved, who find solace in seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure. Beautifully written, with astonishing real-life characters and stories, this book is at its heart a celebration of our power to reclaim the dying process as a deeply meaningful one. Death Is But a Dream is an important contribution to our understanding of medicine's and humanity's greatest mystery.

In his new book - DEATH IS BUT A DREAM - Dr. Kerr writes about how we can overcome our collective aversion to death. Beautifully written, the book celebrates our power to reclaim dying as a deeply meaningful and soothing process for both patients and their loved ones, and, more often than not, as spiritually healing.What makes Death is but a Dream so intimate and powerful is the range and depth of the stories of the patients in Dr. Kerr's care. It's through their eyes that we see how an experience typically wrought with fear and sorrow can be filled with tranquility and peace.

The patient he thinks of the most is named Patty, doesn't play board games and like Canadian Beer, author of the book "Death is But a Dream," Dr. Christopher Kerr goes Beyond the Mic with Sean Dillon I've had great interview opportunities over my 25+ year radio history that never made it to air. Some were due to length others were because of topic. I decided to flip the table on the rules. Any topic / guest is welcome, but you need to tell a story & must go “Beyond the Mic.”

In his new book - DEATH IS BUT A DREAM - Dr. Kerr writes about how we can overcome our collective aversion to death. Beautifully written, the book celebrates our power to reclaim dying as a deeply meaningful and soothing process for both patients and their loved ones, and, more often than not, as spiritually healing.What makes Death is but a Dream so intimate and powerful is the range and depth of the stories of the patients in Dr. Kerr's care. It's through their eyes that we see how an experience typically wrought with fear and sorrow can be filled with tranquility and peace.

In his new book DEATH IS BUT A DREAM: FINDING HOPE AND MEANING AT LIFE'S END, Dr. Christopher Kerr, CEO and chief medical officer at Hospice Buffalo, writes about how we can overcome our collective aversion to death, and reclaim dying as a meaningful and soothing process for both patients and their loved ones.

Today's special guest, Dr.Christopher Kerr has cared for thousands of patients who, in the face of death, experience end-of-life dreams and visions that are unlike any other. Described as "more real than real," these end-of-life experiences resurrect past relationships, meaningful events and themes of love and forgiveness, restore life's meaning and mark the transition from distress to comfort and acceptance.  Drawing on interviews with over 1,400 patients and more than a decade of quantified data for an evidence-based and peer-reviewed published study, Dr. Kerr reveals that pre-death dreams and visions are extraordinary occurrences that humanize the dying process. He shares how his patients' stories point to death as not solely about the end of life, but as the final chapter of humanity's transcendence.  Dr. Kerr's book, Death Is But a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning at Life's End  also illuminates the benefits of these phenomena for the bereaved, who find solace in seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure. Beautifully written, with astonishing real-life characters and stories, this book is an important contribution to our understanding of medicine's and humanity's greatest mystery. Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, is the CEO and chief medical officer at Hospice Buffalo. Born and raised in Toronto, Kerr earned his MD as well as a PhD in neurobiology and completed his residency in internal medicine at the University of Rochester. His research has received international attention and has been featured in The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, and the BBC. He lives on a horse farm in the small town of East Aurora, New York.

As with yoga nidra, liminal dreaming requires us to surrender. To let go and drop into a space of deep relaxation. To have a conversation with the unconscious. So, what, exactly is liminal dreaming and when does it occur? And how can we develop a dream practice around it that supports creativity and problem-solving—and improves our overall wellbeing? Jennifer Dumpert is writer, speaker and consciousness hacker who teaches the practice of liminal dreaming. She is also the founder of Oneironauticum, a global organization that explores the phenomenological experience of dreams as a means of self-actualization and consciousness expansion. Jennifer's new book, Liminal Dreaming: Exploring Consciousness at the Edges of Sleep, offers readers a step-by-step process for creating their own meaningful dream practice. Today, Jennifer joins me to define liminal dreaming and discuss its characteristic irregular brainwaves. She explores the yoga nidra + liminal dream connection, speaking to the restorative quality of the practice and the best way to facilitate liminal dreaming via slow and deep nidras. Jennifer also explains why scents and smells make excellent oneirogens and shares some of the most common olfactory and auricular allies for liminal dreaming.
