In Revolution-era Iran, a 38-year-old woman dreams the precise circumstances of her own death. For our season finale, we delve into a family mystery rooted in one of the more surrealist wings of dream science -- where time travel, astral bodies, and love collide.

Special thanks to guests Nahid, Gazelle and Solmaz Emami, and to Dr. Julia Mossbridge, author of The Premonition Code and founder of the TILT Institute. Additional thanks to Dr. Robert Stickgold

Ghost Attack

HiberNation

07/29/21 • 35 min

Sleep paralysis remains one of the world’s most puzzling disorders, known by different names across cultures and eras. Sufferers recount nightly visitations straight out of horror movies, by ghosts and demons who emanate concentrated evil. And scientists can’t deny that something inexplicable seems to happen to those in the throes of an episode. We travel from a bedroom in a small town in India to a luxury hotel to follow one woman’s journey with this baffling disorder.

Special thanks to guest Ranita Roy, and Dr. Baland Jalal.

Third State

HiberNation

play

07/15/21 • 55 min

In the 1950s, Armond Aserinsky became the most famous kid in science. The 9-year-old son of Eugene Aserinksy, a tough, obstinate grad student who discovered REM sleep, Armond saw the pains of discovery up close, as his dad’s first test subject. REM, which some likened to another state of existence, would change science, and the Aserinsky household, for good.

Special thanks to guests Armond Aserinsky and journalist Lynne Lamberg, as well as to Dr. Peter Shiromani.
