Episode Details

In this episode of Sleep Paralysis News, Dr Sheila Pryce Brooks and Cyrus Richardson speak with Mike Rembis about his remarkably vivid and recurring dream experiences. Mike describes returning again and again to the same houses, streets, workplaces and communities, sometimes recognising people and navigating places he already seems to know.

For Mike, these experiences raise an intriguing possibility: could sleep sometimes give us access to what feels like another life or another reality?

The conversation explores recurring dream worlds, lucid awareness, observing oneself within a dream, memory across dreams and Mike's unusual experience of sleep paralysis, which he describes not as frightening but as a deeply calm state of stillness or “oblivion”. The discussion also turns to déjà vu and Mike's own theory that the strange feeling of having lived a moment before could be connected to realities existing alongside our own.

Are these experiences constructions of the dreaming mind, recurring dream environments, or something we do not yet fully understand?

Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about sleep, consciousness, memory and the strange sense that sometimes, when we dream, we may be returning somewhere we have been before.
