  • Is Life a Dream?

    Is Life a Dream?

    Today’s post on my Psychology Today blog, “Mysteries of Consciousness,” explores a question that has bothered skeptical philosophers for centuries, if not millenia: How do we know that life is not just a dream? I argue that this is not just an idle question and that the answer to it stands to have important empirical…

  • My interview on Connecting with Coincidence with Dr. Bernie Beitman

    My interview on Connecting with Coincidence with Dr. Bernie Beitman

    I had a great conversation this morning with Dr. Bernie Beitman on his Connecting with Coincidence radio show. Beitman is one of the few other academics out there who actively research coincidence and synchronicity, and it was delightful talking to him about my book The Source and Significance of Coincidences and exchanging ideas about what…
