So the past, well, not the past few nights, but a few nights over the past like 30 days. I've had a really kind of freaky dream experience and I don't even in the dream part.
2:12I don't know if this makes any sense, but I had a freaky nighttime experience. I don't think it's a dream, but I wake up and I'm convinced someone is standing over the bed looking at me. And it was, it's to the point where like three out of the four times it's happened. I've actually leaned up it or two like and I actually swing my arm trying to find touch whatever it is. It's looking at me like to see if it's Jessica or and you're unclear if you're dreaming this or if your eyes are actually open, I'm 99% sure I'm up. And there's something just hovering over you. There's something looking at me like, isn't Jessica maybe like, no, I can't believe I married this guy. She does that one all the way. It's over him going to stop snore. But like I, it's, I can't recognize what it is. And then, uh, and then couple that, like I had a really freaky night, the night before I told you guys about it was really weird because as I was falling asleep, you know when
3:14you're in that really fun stage where you're half awake and half asleep and you're having all sorts of weird bizarre dreams. Yeah. Like I had a weird little thing that was filled with like demons, who was freaky, but I didn't wake myself up like I was cool with it. There was freaky. Didn't producer Tracy stay at your house one weekend and she swears that your house is haunted. Yeah, but it didn't all happen in my house. Okay. It happened. It's happened at different places. So the ghost is following you. If it's a ghost, I don't know what it is. Did you have this dream as a kid? Think so. So you've had this. I never remember my dreams. That's why I don't think it's a dream ever. Never. If I remember a dream, it's a rare occasion. Does it feel familiar enough that you think that you could have had this dream like more than over the just the last month, or you think it's a new phenomenon? I would have to say it's new only because I, yeah, I don't ever remember remembering my dreams. Why do you ask? I was just talking to a friend yesterday or day before yesterday about recurring childhood
4:15dreams, like in how they're just recurring dreams that you have from the time that you're a little kid. And we were talking about the ones that freak us out and that sort of thing. And then I was telling them about this book, Eat, Pray, Love, you know, the one I've read 400 times. Yeah. And there's this part when she's in Indonesia, you know, the parts of the book where she goes to Italy. Anyway, she goes to Italy just because he walks that travel in pants. Yeah. That's true. Like reading out the checklist. That's right. He's on Twilight right now. So he does. Exactly. He skipped over. He skipped over. Yeah. Well, anyway. So there's three sections of the book. Once she goes to Italy, then she goes to India, then she goes to Indonesia in Indonesia. She seeks out this medicine man. And the medicine man tells her like a sort of a ballonies like tradition about like what those bad dreams are about. Yeah. And she specifically had the same dream as you as somebody looking over her. And in Bali, they would say that it's one of your four brothers that's protecting you. So not to be scared of it. So there you go.
5:16I'll tell you what. I'll go to Bali's search and for that dude for you and bring a vet for you if that's what I got to do. I'll write off the whole trip. For four months. I got to be honest with you. I was so excited when you said it was in a book. I'm like, I can't wait to hear what it is. And now I'm disappointed. There was dumb. Come up and make something else. I was trying to like really paraphrase it. Like I make it small because I know you guys would make fun of me, but it's a much longer like real tradition of these people. So what do you need to hear? She's telling you to go to Bali, man. Yeah. I work for the chick in the book. Yeah. He's an only kid though. He didn't want siblings. Right. His four brothers. I mean, I have to share. I'm not sure. Oh. It's funny that came up. Strickland, you have some advice for Jeff? Hello. Yes, sir. Yes. I've heard that if you acknowledge it and why you're awake there, until it to go away. Are you going to go away? Are you going to use medicine man by any chance? Do it now. Yeah, I'll make fun of you. Nah, good. Just still to go away, sir. Do you want to go away?
6:16Still to go away. I love that phrase. What? Do you want now? Do you want to use medicine man? Do you want now? Actually, go ahead. You're on Q100. Yeah. If I just wanted to tell you that I have the same exact thing and my mother actually has it too. It's a man that stands over and watches us except for I'm awake. But I can't move and I can't scream and it's just the weirdest, most bizarre thing. Do you see something or are you just like feeling and energy? I see something. I see it. It's a black man that has a black trench coat. And it's an old man. Older man. He would be just a neighbor. I don't think so, but no. Jeff, what's your man wearing? Yeah. It's not like, it's just the... Is it a trench coat? Do you sense it? But you don't say anything. It's shadows and it's red and black. Really? Like it's... I can see colors. It's a Georgia face... Georgia face paint on. Yeah. It's filled the red. Yeah. It's filled the red.
7:17It's filled the red. Hey, Kim, you're part of the Birch Hill. Good morning. Hi. Good morning, you all. Hi. Jeff, I know exactly what you're talking about. Okay. I live in Virginia. No matter where I was at, I've had that... No matter where I lived at, I've had that same exact feeling that there's a presence there. And a lot of times, it feels like it's a bad presence. I don't know if you've... Do you feel like it's a bad... Like a bad sign that that person should not be there? No, it just feels like creepy. Like... They really just... They don't feel scared, really. Like they're on punches out of that, didn't you say? No, I'm just reaching for it to find out if it's... Like there's really a person there. Mm-hmm. Well, one of my classmates actually told me she was an older lady. She was like, you know, whenever that happens, Kim, just think about... Just think about good things. Think that people leave in Jesus or, you know, or whatever religion you believe and think about positive things with that things will not hurt you. And eventually, like, after a while, they would just kind of... I would just focus my mind on good things so it would kind of go away. Do you think that you feel like it's a bad thing only because it's like... Something I guess you're trying to think if somebody's in my bedroom is a bad thing?
8:19Right. You know what I'm saying? I never thought that one. Yeah, I don't feel like any panic or fear of it. I think if somebody's in your bedroom is... It's a good thing. Someone who's signing up to be there is a good thing. Even if he's a man in a black trench coat. It breaks it. You think? And to what that lady said, I only like to call on God or Jesus if I need money or help. I don't like to. Or if my team's about to kick a field goal with a second left. Yeah. I don't... I'm going to have to say the Oscar. Yeah. I think about it. Huh? It's virtue. Warning. The following Zippercruder radio spot you are about to hear is going to be filled with F words.
