Hello, I am Joshua P. Warren, and this is Joshua P. Warren Daily, and I want to tell you about some new lucid dreaming technology that I have obtained. You know, this past month has been just so exhausting. I've been quite sleep deprived. My schedule is always pretty darn erratic. But here in Las Vegas over the past 30 days, there has just been so much UFO action, and everybody's been contacting me all over the world to keep in touch with them. So I've been dealing with media in multiple time zones around the world, whether it's through radio interviews or podcasts or Skyping or showing up for a TV interview or whatever. And so when you look at all these different time zones around the world, there are occasions when I literally will get up and do like a 15-minute spot on some show, and then I'll try to snatch maybe an hour of sleep, and then get up and do two hours, and then maybe I'll snatch a couple of hours of sleep and then get up and do a five-minute spot. I mean, it's like it's that ridiculous. And uh and and I again I'm used to doing this sort of thing, but there are times where it really starts taking a toll on how much overall net rest that you're getting. And of course, I'm about to go into October here, which is always my busiest month of the entire year. So you can imagine yesterday how irritated I was when I got that feeling in the back of my throat, like, uh oh. Feels like you might be about to get a cold. Ah shit. Don't you hate that feeling? It's like your sinuses start to feel like they're getting a little itchy and inflamed, and then your skin has a little bit of a chill to it, and you're like, oh no. Because I meet a lot of people. I, you know, here in Las Vegas, you have people from all over the world, especially if you're out there and you're going to casinos and stuff and you're touching slot machines. Everybody else in the world is touching those machines. You've really got to be on top of your hygiene, and you've got to keep your health and your nutrition high. And I was like, oh God, I do not want a cold right now. And you know, obviously, as soon as that happens, I just start gorging on the vitamin C. And and honestly, uh on many occasions in my life, I find as soon as you start feeling like you're going to get a cold, if you start just gorging on vitamin C, it won't happen. Or if if I get a cold, then uh I get over it more quickly. So there is some real truth to that. You know, the other day I was reading a news story about a woman in England who has had some kind of like food phobia her whole life. And so, and she's in her 30s. I think she's like in her mid to late 30s, a mother. And since she was a child, she claims she has lived off of nothing but cheese sandwiches. And I'm talking about two pieces of bread and a piece of cheese in between, and that's it. Because she has this phobia about the texture and taste of anything else. So she says her whole practically her whole life, I mean, for for breakfast, for lunch, for dinner, for sna all she eats is cheese sandwiches. The idea of eating anything else makes her want to throw up. She said that she realizes this is unnatural that since she has kids, she actually eats in a separate room because she does not want to give this phobia to her kids. And so she says, Look, I can't explain it, but you know, I'm happy. And so, of course, these people who are interviewing her are saying, like, well, how are you surviving? How is that even medically possible for you to live on nothing but cheese sandwiches? And she said, Well, my doctors say it's because that every day I drink a big glass of orange juice. And the doctors are saying that's the only explanation for how this woman can live. It's it's the nutrition that she needs to live is not coming from cheese sandwiches, it's coming from the orange juice. And you know what? Uh I I know a handful of people who just claim they never get sick. I've never seen them with the slightest cold or anything like that. And so I ask every one of them, well, why do you think that is? And at first they don't know. And then it turns out every single one of them gets up in the morning and drinks a big old glass of orange juice, which of course is packed with vitamin C. Every one of them that say I never get sick, do that. So, you know, my problem is I have a pretty uh sensitive stomach when it comes to acidic things. So, I mean, it it would probably bother me to just down a big glass of orange juice every morning just because of the acidity. But if you're the type of person, if you have a strong enough stomach and you can handle that, you should probably do that. It'd probably save you a lot of money and uh and a lot of pain, you know, doctor bill and suffering and all that, if you just drink a big old cold glass of orange juice every single morning. So there's something to this. But anyway, in addition to taking the vitamin C, obviously I am a guy who has quite a few metaphysical tools at my disposal, so I go to them as well. And, you know, people ask me all the time for advice on medical issues, using, you know, whatever wishing machines, you name it. And I have to say, I am not a doctor, I am not a licensed physician, I am it it would be illegal for me to give you any kind of medical or health advice. So I just can't do it. I just can't do it. And it's interesting to note that the wishing machine was invented by a medical doctor named Albert Abrams, and he got in trouble because that he could not scientifically explain how he thought these machines were working, and which you have to understand when I use the word scientifically, don't forget the commercial I played for you a while back, where doctors in the 1940s and 50s were supporting camel cigarettes. The cigarette of choice for most doctors is camel cigarettes. Okay, so that's yeah, science and scientific has quotations when you realize look, we're always learning new things, we're always changing our opinion as time goes on, and we get new data, and you know, it's just like there was some recall the other day of a very popular uh heartburn type medication, and you know, people have gone out and bought big supplies of these things in bulk, and now they're saying, like, oh, might not want to take that, could give you cancer, it turns out, you know. So we're always learning new things. So I do go to my metaphysical tools for all things, all things, whenever I have a challenge. But we are also learning more and more as we we go on here as a civilization about the power of prayer and manifestation. And so I would appreciate it uh as a listener of this podcast, for you to just take a moment right now and sh and just envision me, just visualize me and shoot a healing thought, you know, like a like a protective wellness health vibe, my direction, to help me stave off a potential cold. Because I got to do a lot of traveling in October. I'm gonna be all over the place. Uh some projects I can't really get into right now. You know I'm gonna be at the Chicago Ghost Conference, but I would appreciate it if you'd take two seconds right now and just shoot a thought of wellness in my direction. And uh as a matter of fact, I'm gonna give you, I'm just gonna pause and give you a few few moments of silence to do that. Alright, thank you. I appreciate that immensely. Especially if you want me to be able to keep doing podcasts, I gotta keep my voice up here. And and I don't want to get into the habit of doing that, by the way. Um I I am going to take more vitamin C and all, but uh it's it will be kind of interesting to see what happens now that I've asked you about this. But I started thinking more and more about that role that rest and sleep plays in your overall wellness and and how that connects your body and mind to this thing that gives us life and consciousness. Because that it almost seems like we are linked through our brain uh to this thing that comes in and updates us and upgrades us and heals us. I mean, everybody feels better after a good night's sleep, right? You know, the average adult sleeps seven to nine hours per night, and yet Albert Einstein, he would sleep ten hours every single night, and he would nap during the day. So that makes you think, huh, maybe there really is a relationship between the amount of of of uh of work that's going on in your brain and how that reflects what's happening in the stress in your body, and how much healing time that you need, which comes from this mysterious thing called sleep. On the other hand, I believe I've read on a number of occasions that President Donald Trump gets four or five hours of sleep every night. I don't even see how he is able to do any of the things that he does on that amount of sleep. So it varies a lot from person to person. So let's dig a little bit into sleep because I thought, you know, sleep is so mysterious, we don't even know exactly what it is. What is the definition of sleep? If you just sit down and go to let's go to Wikipedia right now, and let's just see what the definition of sleep is. Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, reduced muscle activity, and inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles during rapid eye movement or rim sleep, and reduced interactions with surroundings. It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, but more reactive than coma or disorders of consciousness, sleep displaying very different and active brain patterns. Okay. So basically what it's saying is, you know, literally the words mind and body are in there. So it's saying this is a state in which your mind and body are less active. Right. That's that's as good as we can get. I mean, that's a that's a pretty vague definition. It's an accurate one, but it's pretty vague. So that shows you how little that we really know. So, okay, well, why do we go into this, this vague state? And uh and what is happening for us. You know, you hear all the time that sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture, uh, especially when it comes to like the CIA and and uh American organizations that are very uh held back in terms of you know what's considered torture, that's one of the things that they can get away with is keeping you awake, you know. And so I I began to wonder, okay, when it comes to this idea of sleep deprivation, who holds the Guinness World Record for going the longest time without sleep? And it turns out it's a man named Randy Gardner. Randy Gardner, he's around 70 years old. Yes, he's alive. He's around 70 years old. How long do you think that Randy Gardner went without sleep? Now just take a minute and think about that. This is the the documented world record. The longest you can go without sleep, apparently. And by the way, this guy, he did this when he was a high school student in San Diego, California. That makes a big difference, I believe, because you know he was a he was a very young person. Okay. I'm just gonna read to you basically what's on this Wikipedia page about this. Randy Gardner set the record for the longest a human has gone without sleep. In 1964, he did this. Gardner, a high school student in San Diego, stayed awake for eleven days and twenty five minutes. Eleven days and twenty-five minutes, which amounts to two hundred and sixty-four point four hours. Says this period of uh sleeplessness broke the previous record of two hundred and sixty hours. Okay, so uh anyway, it says that it was attended by a Stanford sleep researcher who documented the whole thing, doctor William C. Dement. Wonder if he's related to Demented Patty. Patricia Dement. I don't know. Um so anyway, it says here, here are here are the health effects. Okay, it says it is often claimed that Gardner's experiment demonstrated that extreme sleep deprivation has little effect other than the mood changes associated with tiredness. And it says this is primarily due to a report by William DeMant who stated that on the tenth day of the experiment, Gardner had been, among other things, able to beat Dement at pinball. Well, I mean, pinball. I mean if it was tennis or something, that means I could see like this guy beat me at tennis after ten days of that would be something, but pinball, I don't know. So anyway, um they're talking about all these people who who monitored uh his behavior, and they say, well, there were behavioral changes, moodiness, problems with concentration and short-term memory, paranoia, and hallucinations. On the eleventh day, when he was asked to subtract seven repeatedly, starting with one hundred. So you'd be like, okay, one hundred minus seven is ninety-three, ninety-three minus says he stopped at sixty-five. When asked why he had stopped, he replied that he had forgotten what he was doing. That's a pretty good challenge anyway, though, isn't it? I would I don't know if I'd want to sit here and try to do that just from a hundred to zero, subtracting seven. Uh oh shit, maybe that's because I'm sleep deprived too. But anyway, so um but no, he forgot what he was doing. Now I can see that. I can understand that. Says on his final day, Gardner presided over a press conference where he spoke without slurring or stumbling his words, and in general appeared to be in excellent health. So, um it says here that Gardner's sleep recovery was observed by sleep researchers who noted changes in his sleep structure during post-deprivation recovery. So after completing his record, he slept for fourteen hours and forty minutes, awoke naturally around eight forty PM, stayed awake until about seven thirty PM the next day, when he slept an additional ten and a half hours. Gardner appeared to have fully recovered from his loss of sleep, with follow-up sleep recordings taken in various weeks after the fact showing no significant differences, and they say that no long-term psychological or physical effects have been observed. So, see, it's it's weird. It's like, yeah, you you you can go without sleep and you're gonna hallucinate, you're gonna forget things, and you're gonna be in a bad mood. But long term, you know, I guess you can get away with it. Again, this is a high school student in 1964, so uh I it'd be interesting to see that performed on a on a middle-aged person. But uh nonetheless, I have read a number of reports about experiments that have been done with rats, where rats have been sleep-deprived completely. Okay, perfectly healthy rats. They're given the same nutrition, uh everything's the same, but they just don't let 'em sleep, and within a month they're all dead. So what is that? I mean, i I I guess like you can get away with sleep for for a while, but and I mean that's the record that he did eleven days and whatever. But eventually, if you don't sleep, you'll probably die if the rats are an indication of this. And one of the reasons I bring this up is that uh on my Twitter page, I posted a link to a story that was originally on Coast to Coast AM. Of course, my my Twitter page is just at Joshua P. Warren, at Joshua P. Warren. And um there was a story I posted here about a guy who is I think he's a marine biologist. And this biologist has a tank in his house with an octopus in it. Uh let's see. Yeah, he's a marine biologist named David Schill. PBS has has released uh this footage. He has this octopus named Heidi, so you know, it's a female octopus that he keeps alone in this tank in his house. And he said, I think I've documented something that uh has not been documented before. I think I have documented this octopus dreaming on film. So when it and and you know it's funny because we've been around for so long doing research and studies, you'd think that scientists would have done a lot more than they actually have. But the number one department where scientists fail these days is the first step of the scientific method, which is observation. Very few of them have a creative idea about something new to observe, and they take for granted that things have been observed that haven't been observed or not observed in a particular way, right? So this guy has in his house, and I think it's important as a scientist to bring things into your home. Because if you just say, Well, that's the lab over there, and I'm gonna go to the lab, and when I'm there, I'll see what's happening, then I'm gonna come back to my life. Well, you're missing out on a huge chunk of time where you could be observing something. And it's good if you can, as a scientist, to bring things into your home. I know there are a lot of spouses out there of scientists right now who are like, no, no, Josh, don't say that. Don't say that. But I'm just telling you, if you want to observe new things, sometimes you have to bring the subject into your home. And so he has this tank with this octopus named Heidi, and this octopus kind of like curls up into a little ball when it's sleeping. And of course, the amazing thing about an octopus is that it can change its skin. You know, it can it can it's it's like a chameleon, it can change colors and stuff. So you see this octopus sleeping, and as the octopus is sleeping, you see it going through all of these color changes that it would be going through if it were in an active and interactive wakeful scenario. And if you have ever had like a dog, for example, uh, you can you can see that dog dreaming. Like when that dog's lying there and it's sleeping, sometimes that dog will be like you know, and you can you can just look at it and see it all like jerking around and imagine, like, I don't know what's what this dog is experiencing, if it's fighting another dog, if it's chasing a squirrel, uh, maybe it's communing with the divine. I don't know what's happening, but this dog is clearly going through a dream experience. And you wonder, well, does everything do that? Well, apparently an octopus does because you see this octopus going through all these different color changes and kind of jerking and reacting to things, and uh, of course, the the scientist here, he he can't help himself but try to imagine what the octopus might be dreaming about and sort of narrating that and saying, uh, well, maybe at this point um she's scared of something. Oh, looks like maybe she's found a crab or something like that. Now she's she's eating that crab, you know, and and she's getting that camouflage to hide herself while she's eating the crab. And he's kind of like narrating what he thinks this octopus is dreaming about. Now, we all realize that that is kind of a joke, but it i i it's also worthy of pointing out that I recently did a podcast about how there have been some researchers who have claimed they think octopuses might be aliens or of alien origin. And of course, mainstream zoologists and biologists say, well, that that's nonsense. The DNA proves otherwise. But I I hear these kinds of claims made about octopuses and mushrooms. Uh fungi like mushrooms, so that's just something interesting to think about that octopuses are just so bizarre, and mushrooms are so bizarre, some people believe they're not directly from this planet, that they they came here from a speck on a meteorite or whatever. So the point is, maybe everything dreams. Right down to hell, an amoeba, a single-celled organism? I don't know. We don't know. But dreaming and sleeping, it it all seems to play some kind of an important role that we just don't understand. And it has something probably to do with our uplink to whatever it is that gives us consciousness and wherever we come from. And so you've heard me say over the years, uh, and again, if if you haven't seen this footage, go to uh my Twitter page. If you go to joshua p.com, there's no period after the P, you'll find a direct link to my Twitter page, or you can just do a search for Joshua P. Warren Twitter, but I'm at Joshua P. Warren at Joshua P. Warren, and you'll see where you can watch this footage of this octopus um changing colors while it's dreaming. So you've heard me talk about how that I am a vivid dreamer, and I have been my whole life, and how that I um frequently will have what's called a lucid dream. And so obviously, when you're dreaming, uh most of the time you don't even realize that you're dreaming. You think this is reality, and it's not until you wake up that you realize that wasn't reality. A lucid dream is when you're dreaming and you realize that you're dreaming, and then at that point you go, oh, this is like a big kick-ass video game, and now I can have some fun here, and I can control the dream, and I can do whatever I want to because I know this is not real. So I'm not afraid of jumping off a cliff because I know I can fly, because I'm in control of the dream. So that said, um, I for years have been aware of these products out there that say they can help you lucid dream when you want to, because I lucid dream, you know, like I say, occasionally, I don't know when it's gonna happen. But these products, they're all kind of made the same way, and and I finally decided to break down and buy one of these. And the one that I bought, okay, let me explain to you. I have it in my hands right now. So, you know how that uh a lot of people they're about to sleep and they they'll slip on like a little blinder over their eyes to keep out the light, or they'll give you that on an airplane. It's it's one of those things, it looks like a little blinder that you put over your eyes, but it has a circuit inside of it, and that circuit has LEDs. And when you turn this thing on and and then put it on your your face and go to sleep, supposedly, at certain points in the night, this thing is programmed so that the LED will turn on. So even though your eyes are closed, you still perceive some kind of a l a light, and that light reminds the brain somehow that you are asleep. So whatever you're experiencing, like whenever you're having your dream, this comes through and says, Hey, by the way, this is a dream. Do you remember? You put this mask on before you went to bed, and i I'm I'm just letting you know you're having a dream now so you can have some fun. And that's that's the concept. And people say this works. They say that if you get one of these that's in good shape and you know that and you you put this thing on before you go to bed, you can program it in different ways. That this thing will remind you you're dreaming, and so now at when you understand that you're dreaming, that's when you can take over and turn it into a lucid dream. So I have one of these, but I haven't tried it yet. And and one of the reasons is that my schedule's been so erratic, I haven't really had a good opportunity to just lay down and and uh and put this thing on and and or or remember to put it on and give it a run for a solid night's sleep. But I'm gonna be doing this soon. And a part of me feels like, well, maybe that's a bad idea because maybe if you're you're sleeping, uh even if whether or not you're dreaming, well, at least your body's at rest, and the last thing I need is more action. So maybe this will be even more exhausting because now it's like, oh, okay, I I I I was trying to get away from it all, but now I may as well take advantage of this and go off and now I'm back in an active state in a way, you know, controlling this dream. I don't know, but I'm gonna try this thing out. I don't I don't know if I'm gonna do it tonight, but I will be doing it soon. And then I'm gonna tell you how this thing works. And if it works well enough, I might even start selling these. I mean, because I can see this being a really cool product, but what I would do is I would put it as like a package with some other interesting things. So, um, so I don't know. Uh I it's it's a it's an odd thing. I've had this now for almost a month, believe it or not, and I and I still have not tried it. But after watching the octopus video about dreaming, it kind of reminded me like, okay, I need to do this, and now, of course, that as I said, I kind of felt like I might be coming down with a cold, uh, this idea of sleeping and resting and all that stuff is is really at the forefront of my mind. So, anyway, um, I hope all that's of interest to you. I will keep you updated. Thank you again for sending a healing or preventative, you know, cold vibe my way. I appreciate that enormously.
