| 0:00.0 | Greetings to you, oh beautiful friends. It is I, D. True Cell, and you have tuned in to the |
| 0:06.7 | Duncan Trustle Family Hour Podcast, a podcast emanating from deep within the dream that you call |
| 0:15.0 | your own existence. Well, in dream, seriously. Well, I don't know. But I have been reading this book |
| 0:24.8 | that is blowing my mind. It's called the Tibetan yoga of dream, dreaming, and sleep. And it's |
| 0:34.4 | so psychedelic and it sneaks up on you. It kind of pounces on you, but I haven't got, I'm scared |
| 0:40.8 | to keep reading it actually because it produces such a, I don't know how to describe it, |
| 0:46.2 | it kind of psychedelic effect. Gary, can you keep it down please? I'm recording. Jesus. |
| 0:51.8 | Like you know, reading Terrence McKenna, if you haven't read Terrence McKenna, you should sometimes |
| 0:57.4 | and some of his best essays, you just start feeling like you're tripping. Just because he's so good at |

| 1:29.0 | similar to a concept I heard once about lucid dreaming. You set your alarm for every hour. |
| 1:36.3 | And anytime your alarm goes off, you think to yourself, I'm not dreaming. I'm not dreaming. |
| 1:42.4 | And then when you're in a dream, because you've sort of trained yourself to on the hour, every hour, |
| 1:51.5 | remind yourself you're not dreaming. And the dream of like, holy shit, I'm in a dream. And then |
| 1:56.2 | you can do whatever. Fly, fuck a thousand movie stars, turn into an octopus, suck your own |
| 2:02.2 | nipples, drink milk from your toes, whatever it is you're into. That's what you could do. |
| 2:08.4 | And now here's Gary, my time doctor, Pearman, with his song about dreams. |
| 2:38.6 | Oh, what a ring of honor. |
| 2:48.5 | All right. All right. Thanks, Gary. That's enough. Thank you. |
