The Lucid Dreaming “Hack” That Led to a Terrifying Out-of-Body Experience With Michael Monk (06E4)
What happens when lucid dreaming becomes something far more real and far more dangerous?
Michael Monk claims that nicotine patches can dramatically intensify dreams and increase the chances of becoming lucid. But his most terrifying out-of-body experience began when he tried something even stronger and found himself travelling beyond Earth with no apparent connection to his physical body.
In this episode, Michael describes being pulled toward a mysterious golden light, entering what appeared to be a shrine to Christ, watching the figure on the throne transform into a skeleton, and becoming trapped by a dragon-like entity at the edge of the universe.
