You know, I mean, the short answer is I don't know. I don't know. I think that, yes, I think sometimes these are things that happen to people in hypnagogic states, in sleeping states, in dreams. I mean, you've had very vivid dreams, right? And I guess we all have. And there are people that are involved in lucid dreaming. And it's just hard to say. It's just hard to say. And that's good.

I don't think there are any definitive answers to any. At least we don't have them yet. Have you ever read Oliver Sacks' book on hallucinations? No, I haven't. That's worth reading. You wouldn't believe what people see.

Yeah, Oliver Sacks. Yeah, it's a short book. There's a whole documented clinical literature about what people see. Check out, I think it's Charles Bennett syndrome is one of these syndromes that's been studied by neurologists. I think it's Charles Bennett syndrome. Named after this guy. Is that what it is?

Right, right. And there's one case study that they talk about, about this guy. Maybe it was Charles Bonnet or someone that had this condition. But every night... he would see a full brass band would march through his room. Wow. With full lights and sound effects and everything. And this was like a nightly occurrence. And it was like he was not upset. He looked forward to it. He enjoyed it.

First week of February. Yeah. Yeah. Much appreciate that. Get people to look at the website. Oh, a couple of things. If anyone wants to connect on the summit or anything else, they can always email Annette at McKenna.academy. She is the conference coordinator, and she basically does everything for us. A lot of other things for the Academy so that I can just come out here and rave.
