I am so glad that Russell continues to work. Imagine being 89 and being so lucid.

The eminent Russell Targ. The speech that was labeled as his banned Ted Talk dramatically changed my life for the better. No exaggeration. I was a staunch materialist over 50 years old going through a health crisis and was worried my life would be much shorter than I had hoped. I
started opening up to ideas that I would have viciously scoffed at before. Russell's speech resonated with me. A credible, highly experienced physicist was testifying that ESP was real. I was inspired by Russell to learn Remote Viewing, and my experience proved to me without a doubt that our consciousness is non-local. That and all the implications of it drastically changed my life for the better. I am much happier. I owe all this to Russell Targ. I can't thank him enough. With every ounce of my being, I give him my thanks. It would be the honor of my life to meet him and thank him in person.

The number of Precog dreams that I have had that actually came to pass is startling to me.

[Shillbilly]

I love you guys. Literally my internet grandparents. I love you Russel. Thank you for everything!

[astravidya]

[martinmasey]

The image of dear Russell, dressed in a black polar necked cat suit, unrecognisable in a black stocking mask and tip-toeing through the shadows, will be with me always. Fascinating conversation, but logical. Thanks, Gents!

[cocobololocoloco]

Russell is another of the shining beacons in this world we are lucky to have.

[ladygreenflame]

So happy to see Russell Targ again. And, as always, he's energetically exploring the Mysteries.

Thank you for continuously uploading content.

I always enjoy listening to you both!! When I was a kid I would dream of flying often as I was a falconer sometimes I would have a close call almost die and start to wake up realized I was dreaming went back to sleep and would do very dangerous stuff knowing that I was dreaming. After I saw my first hang glider I learned and flew quite often for over a decade but the flying dreams stopped.

[aeichelberger]

Hey! Russell is one of my heroes, and It’s so good to see him on this podcast. I believe he’s truly one of the most incredible researchers of our time. Thanks Jeffrey!

[traviswadezinn]

I enjoyed the presentation - in my experience, my precognitive dreams are often related to emotionally charged future events, sometime trivial, such as a movie that would come out in a couple years (a film that had not yet been produced). My viewing engagement was sufficient to ping it back to me; I've learned to hold them lightly, also so as not to be attached to -or further reinforce- a future that may or may not be desirable. Some dreams are important, some are simple entanglements with another person (who I may never meet in person) or even with non-human consciousnesses. Learning to tell the difference is not easy, so I just file them in my pre-consciousness as reference information, (phenomenologically bracketed).

[ThaTurdBurglar]

Great topic! I see lots of overlap of whats being said here, with Eric Wargo's book Precognitive DreamWork (and the Long Self).. which I enjoyed very much. Would love to see Eric Wargo on NTA sometime, thanks Mr Mishlove 👍👁💖

[stevenkampmann]

And the to hear Russell say the future is available is so dead on to my flying dreams as a kid!!

[marzymarrz]

God Bless Russell Targ. Such a generous intellect.

[borderlands]

Dreams aren't a single phenomenon, in my experience. They are downtime in which anything can happen, from mundane mental processing, to the most vivid visionary experiences. The subject of dreams are like fractals, where a symbolic element can come to fruition next week, or in 40 years time.

[TaurusBaileyAttorney]

I am a huge admirer of Dr. Russell Targ

[LilyGazou]

Thanks for this interview.
I read something by Targ and Puthoff at least 30 years ago and I wanted to try it when my sister was backpacking in Europe. We had set times for when she would send impressions and I would try to receive. Interesting results. I had to do this without feedback- no email for us then.
I was a weird kid maybe. I taught myself hypnosis when I was 12 and managed to do well enough that people got frightened.
I spent a lot of time in the library to escape a large family in a small house.
