The best line was at the end " ... just follow your dream, literally you know" (!!!)

But this is super interesting in terms of the possibilities / potential.
Scifi films like Matrix and Avatar have touched on alternate abstractions of the sleep state.

Astral projection (or astral travel) is a term used in esotericism to describe an intentional out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of a soul or consciousness called an "astral body" that is separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it throughout the universe.

I find it fascinating that our brains create almost Hollywood like movie script in our sleep and we interact with total strangers as if it’s completely natural and normal. Often it seems in that “realm” we are part of that life and nothing is unusual about it. Parallel dimensions? Who knows...

Some folks do take Astral Projection seriously and supposedly can guide themselves to different places and even meet with others from their group sessions.

Interesting... I wonder if through hypnosis he could draw while awake, with the same level of skill.

They don't mention if he is tired during the day, after working through the night.

I have artistic ability in the day, but little talent for sleep. I should be getting more done than I do.

Astral Projection would save a lot on air fare. Also we wouldn't need to have spies in foreign countries!

Remote Viewing... It was a big thing back in the day. Perhaps still is... The Soviets and the CIA were involved with such programs with various degrees of success.

In 1970, United States intelligence sources believed that the Soviet Union was spending 60 million rubles annually on "psychotronic" research. In response to claims that the Soviet program had produced results, the CIA initiated funding for a new program known as SCANATE ("scan by coordinate") in the same year.[13] Remote viewing research began in 1972 at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in Menlo Park, California.[13] Proponents (Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff) of the research said that a minimum accuracy rate of 65% required by the clients was often exceeded in the later experiments

Stargate Project was the 1991 code name for a secret U.S. Army unit established in 1978 at Fort Meade, Maryland, by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and SRI International (a California contractor) to investigate the potential for psychic phenomena in military and domestic intelligence applications. The Project, and its precursors and sister projects, originally went by various code names—GONDOLA WISH, GRILL FLAME, CENTER LANE, SUN STREAK, SCANATE—until 1991 when they were consolidated and rechristened as "Stargate Project".

Stargate Project work primarily involved remote viewing, the purported ability to psychically "see" events, sites, or information from a great distance.[1] The project was overseen until 1987 by Lt. Frederick Holmes "Skip" Atwater, an aide and "psychic headhunter" to Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine, and later president of the Monroe Institute.[2] The unit was small-scale, comprising about 15 to 20 individuals, and was run out of "an old, leaky wooden barracks".[3]

The Stargate Project was terminated and declassified in 1995 after a CIA report concluded that it was never useful in any intelligence operation. Information provided by the program was vague and included irrelevant and erroneous data, and there was reason to suspect that its project managers had changed the reports so they would fit background cues.[4] The program was featured in the 2004 book and 2009 film, both titled The Men Who Stare at Goats,[5][6][7][8] although neither mentions it by name.

For those who may be interested in the topic of remote viewing.

Notice how the "classified" program at "SRI" is still coming up as the "source" of such research.... CIA concluded it was never useful but this video says otherwise...

Dr. Jessica Utts, Professor of Statistics at UC Irvine, provides statistical validation and scientific proof of remote viewing, AKA psychic phenomenon, as a legitimate human capability. https://youtu.be/YrwAiU2g5RU

I used to love listening to Coast to Coast AM on the radio overnight. They would have guests discussing all these topics and talk about some crazy stuff. It was and still is fascinating.

Yes, fascinating stuff. I watch George Noory programs on Gaia’s Beyond Belief.

Some mediums have that ability and have helped police solve crimes and find missing bodies.

It is.
