Somniloquism and the Sleeping Dimension

This Saturday, 2.16.2008, our episode will reveal audio clips a startling and boggling somniloquist. Thanks to Collin Pruitt and his blog, INK MATHEMATICS, we can share with you the unbelievable dreams and unilateral dialogue of Dion McGregor.




In conjunction with Dion McGregor's dreamworld, we will explore the dreams of others, and hopefully, dreams of our listeners. In addition, we will draw from the scientific findings and studies of sleeping and its affect on health and vitality. We will also provide an interview with a participant of an intense and somewhat traumatic sleep study. Tune in on Saturday from 2-4pm on WRUV.ORG or 90.1FM in Burlington VT.

As promised on air, I'm posting this very exciting video clip advertising for Kimchi and all its glory. As Adrienne so cleverly points out, please note the "indiscernible pickle/pepper-like action figure, Mr. Kimchi". If you have any thoughts as to what this Mr. Kimchi is supposed to be, whether it's an accurate biological representation or some kind of abstract cartoon imagery, let us know!



In addition, the other videos that we played on Kombucha and Kimchi during our program are linked here...
