Kevin Day was U.S. Navy Operations Specialist and Topgun air intercept controller, and was the radar operator who initially detected and eventually intercepted the Nimitz Tic-Tac UAPs in 2004. He retired in 2008, but the Tic-Tac incident is not where his story ends, it’s where it BEGINS. Kevin is now part of the experiencer community and he has a tremendously important story to tell. Something is happening to the people of Planet Earth. So far, this is confined to the experiencer community, but that is likely to change.What will it be like? Listen to Kevin’s powerful and unforgettable story of how his life unfolded since the Tic-Tac incident, and why he believes something similar is going to happen to every single person on Earth.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

You’ve probably never heard of Leigh McCloskey. He is a close friend of Stash Klossowski de Rola, the alchemist who so fascinated us on Dreamland a few weeks ago. He is an artist, the creator of one of the most extraordinary artworks in the world, the Heiroglyph of the Human Soul, which is located in his home studio in his native town of Malibu, California–and, in fact, IS the studio, as the art has extended throughout the room to form one of the most powerful stories in imagery created in our era.Leigh is also the author of the Tar0t Re-Visioned, an epic retelling of the myths hidden in the Tarot, an effort 18 years in the creation. He and Whitley have been close friends for many years, joined with Stash on a profound inner and outer journey toward greater consciousness, and in this wondrous show, Leigh tells us of his life’s work, both as a spiritual searcher and as the protector of his home, Olandar, which is a place of spiritual exploration and retreat for many people.Listen as he tells of what it was like as the massive Woolsey Fire of 2018 bore down on Olandar, and Whitley and many others, lacking any physical means to save the house, used special energies even as Leigh and his wife Carla fought the flames that were roaring down their street in the form of a fire tornado.This is a deep and powerful show about a man all but unknown to the public, but who has achieved great mastery. Anne Strieber, who knew a lot about what a true master is, said after meeting him, “Leigh is a hidden master.”Meet this hidden master in this week’s Dreamland.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

On August 17, 2021, there was an improbable press conference held on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Anjali Schultz, a retired intelligence officer with a distinguished career, announced that she had met aliens in a cave in the Mojave Desert and was going to lead a group of scientists into the cave on December 21 in order for them to experience a face-to-face meeting with aliens.There was an immediate explosion of interest–and skepticism. While some lobbied to be in that group, others scoffed. Talk show hosts lined up for interviews. People tried to find the cave. But then December 21 came and went, and it didn’t happen.Anjali was dismissed as just another contactee with a wild story, one of a long line that starts with George Adamski and goes right up through Betty Hill and Betty Andreasson Luca and Whitley Strieber and all the rest. How did Anjali end up in that cave–and was there even a cave? What really happened? Was she drugged? Crazy? Part of some esoteric intelligence operation? Was this a mistake or even a hoax that contained an element of truth? Or was there something deeper going on, and if so, how should we take it?The UFO and close encounter phenomenon is notoriously ambiguous, and in this interview, Whitley concentrates on hidden meanings that nobody else has discussed, without ignoring the deep contradictions in the story.Listen as Whitey gently and persistently explores the depths of the mystery with Anjali. This is, and will remain, the only interview of its kind with this enigmatic individual. Nobody in the world but Whitley can ask the questions he asks.Just as there is more to many contact stories, there is more to the Anjali Schultz story. This show is about that “more.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

Mark Stavish knows his Masonic history, and in this searching interview, he takes us deep into some of its most hidden recesses. There is a resurgence of Masonry as a spiritual practice and a quest for self-realization, and in this interview Whitley’s own profound esoteric understanding intersects with Mark’s deep knowledge in what turns into a enlightening, and finally riveting, exploration of lost secrets and how they are finally re-emerging into the modern Masonic movement.What is Masonry? Why, as it is devoted to doing good, is it looked upon with such suspicion by so many? Where did it come from and, more importantly, where is it going right now? Is there a place in it for the spiritual searcher, or is it primarily a social and charitable organization?All of these questions and more are covered here. Some of the deeper ones: What is the significance of the three gifts of the Magi, and who was Hermes Trismigistus? What is the connection between Masonry and the Knights Templar, and what was the real secret that they brought out of the Islamic world to Christendom?Get set for a wonderful adventure of soul and mind.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

On July 15, Whitley was meditating at about 4AM when two loud booms detonated in quick succession outside of his house. He assumed that they were firecrackers and thought nothing of it. But then, at 3:56 AM on July 23,the same thing happened. This time he was not in the house and his surveillance system recorded the sounds and the flash that went with them. A video expert observed that the flash appeared to come from above the house. Although he couldn’t definitively identify the cause of the sounds, it later developed that numerous people in the area heard it and saw the flashes and reported this on the Neighbors neighborhood events app. Reports came from about a square mile area.While these could have been fireworks or gunshots, there are interesting reasons discussed in the show that suggest that this may not be the case.This week, Linda Moulton Howe joins Whitley to discuss the event and compare some similar videos that she has collected over the years. Whitley’s friends don’t call his condo “the unquiet flat” for nothing! THEN we move on to a powerful discussion with Mia Feroleto about her final Consciousness and Contact Conference, held two weeks ago in South Dakota. Whitley once again had a look into what appears to be another world while at the conference. You can read about that here. Mia tells us of the many high-intensity events that transpired at this remarkable conference.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

This week’s Dreamland: We don’t normally bring a guest back after just a month, but this interview is brain-bending. Melinda Leslie of UFOSightingTours joined us on August 6 to talk about her UFO sightings tours and much besides. However, we did not get to the subjects of military abductions and hybrids. Now we have. And it is astonishing material, and a powerful reminder of how radically different the lives of close encounter witnesses are from ordinary lives.Very frankly, this has to be one of the most powerful, ultra-high strangeness interviews ever to appear on Dreamland. Listen and Melinda tells her completely remarkable story–and reflect, as you listen, that this is a person who regularly, reliably, night after night, can cause UFOs to appear in the sky, virtually at will.This remarkable individual will now tell us some of the most incredible and strangest stories we–even Whitley–has ever heard. We live surrounded by ultra high strangeness. Don’t dismiss it. Don’t ignore it. Open your mind to the wonder, the strangeness and the burning questions that this interview brings to mind.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

Dr. John Alexander is one of the great adventurers. Not only has he been to a hundred countries, he has traveled extensively in the undiscovered country of the mind and the paranormal. Whitley says, “John is one of the most intrepid adventurers I have ever known. He has had every kind of extraordinary experience there is to have, and studied them all! He’s also been just about everywhere, including some of the wildest and most dangerous–and powerful–places on Earth. Most of them, actually.” So come with John on a journey of high adventure, starting with the UFO/UAP enigma and going via the Skinwalker Ranch to the land of the shaman in Brazil, and from there to some extremely unusual martial arts masters and their amazing abilities!One of our all time great adventure episodes!

With 25 years of experience as an intelligence officer, John Ramirez has extensive knowledge about how the US intelligence community collects information, which agencies collect which kind, and how to use FOIA requests effectively to gain access to information that has never been requested in the right way before. For example, agencies probably have electronic and other information related to the Tic-Tac and Gimbal videos released by the Navy Department that would be made available if the right requests were made to the right places. Here, John tells us how each agency collects information and what each would be likely to possess. He was in Technical Electronic Intelligence, and also served in the Directorate of Intelligence, and in the National Counter Proliferation Center.THEN, in the third half hour, there develops one of the most profound conversations in the long history of Dreamland when Whitley asks John about his own experiences. As an intelligence officer who has also had extraordinary experiences, John is very definitely not alone, but his eloquence and candor are unique. This beautiful and enlightening conversation between him and Whitley is unforgettable.Visit Whitley Strieber's site, and consider becoming a subscriber! https://www.unknowncountry.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dreamland-with-whitley-strieber--5209196/support.

UFO researcher Kathleen Marden is the niece of Betty and Barney Hill, who were the subjects in 1961 of one of the best documented of all abduction experiences. Not only were physical traces left behind, Barney remembered much of what happened to them from the beginning. Here, Kathleen describes the moment the phone rang when she was a 13 year old girl, and it was her Aunt Betty on the phone telling her mother one of the most remarkable stories in history. It later became the book Incident and Exeter, and there is now a memorial plaque along the New Hampshire highway where it happened.But Kathleen and Whitley go FAR BEYOND the Hill story, exploring the close encounter experience and what is unfolding now among close encounter witnesses since abductions have become rare.Don’t miss a single word of this great interview, especially as they get into the richness of the current close encounter experience and compare it, as really nobody else can, to what has come before. We are waking up, and Kathleen’s work reflects that.
