The Tailor

Below is a dream that I had in October 2020, while on vacation in Morro Bay, CA. It was completely unexpected, as there were no recent waking events that would create these dream images.

It was also unique in that it was a complete story. When I awoke at 6:00 am, I was so excited that I immediately recorded the dream. I was not lucid in the dream, only an observer.

Like all dreams, one should try to bring the dream or at least a part of it into the waking world. I sent this dream to actor Will Smith (one of my favorites). After all, he is The Tailor in the dream. I doubt that I’ll ever hear back from him, but it would make a great story or movie!

If any readers out there would like to develop the story, please contact me. Use the Contact selection in the header bar.

I hope that you enjoy the The Tailor:

“My friend Raj and I were way behind on our senior high school English project.  We had no idea of what to do.  We were beginning to get nervous – if we did not complete the project we would not graduate.

Then Raj said, “I’ve heard about a young black child that has very poor vision, maybe we could do a story about him.”

In the next dream scene, a black male adult hand with pinking shears, cutting gold lame fabric is seen.  As the perspective pulls back, you see the man’s arm, his shoulder and the back of his head and then finally the entire room.  The room is actually a set from a movie and the man is a very successful costume designer  in Hollywood.

The next moment, I see a plantation  around the mid 1840’s.  I notice a small, male enslaved child (about 3 years old) who only has close up vision.  The adult females decide that the young child will stay with the women and learn to sew.  This particular plantation not only grew and harvested cotton, but also spun it and made cloth.

As the young child ages, he becomes very adept at spinning cotton and also begins working with needlepoint designs on the cloth.  His designs and close up needlepoint work details were so incredibly amazing, that his work gathered the attention of many other local plantations and stores.  This gave him some extra privileges, in that he got to go to town.  Many of the white female locals wanted to meet the young child who could produce such beautiful cloth.

The local militia had also asked the plantation owner to begin making special cloth for the soldier’s uniforms.  Then the Civil War broke out.

The child, now about 12 years old, began to see the carnage of the war as wounded Confederate soldiers are brought back to the plantation, which now serves as a battlefield hospital.

The child sees many men bleed to death and spins a special cotton fabric, and creates a compression  bandage that can quickly stop bleeding.  In addition to the compression bandage, the cotton that it was woven from had special properties. It was grown in a soil that contained higher concentrations of silicates, which trigger coagulation, speeding up the clotting process. His bandage saves hundreds of lives at the hospital, and is used on the battlefield as well.

The war ends, and the child now about 16 is free.  He wanders the South until he meets up with an ex-Confederate soldier, who runs a mercantile.  It so happens that this ex-soldier was saved by one of the young man’s  compression bandages.  He hires the young man to work in his store, specifically designing fabrics and tailoring clothes.

Again, the young man’s skills become renowned in the area.  During this time, he marries and has two sons.  He is asked to travel to Britain to make costumes for the stage.  He is incredibly successful and years later returns to work in Vaudeville costuming, where he is very respected and quite wealthy.

One of his sons also has the gift of being a remarkable tailor.  He follows in his father’s footsteps and begins working in the New York City theater.  Around this time, 1920, he is asked to move to Hollywood.  His costume design skills are also highly sought after.

He in turn has a son and the Hollywood costume design and tailoring legacy continues to this day.”

Are we talking a great movie or what?

Alpha Brainwave Generation Glasses

In my post AlphaWAVE Relaxation / Performance Improvement Disk, I discussed the benefits of producing alpha brainwaves. I primarily focused on relaxation and performance improvement from continued use of the disk.

However, there are many other benefits: Reducing Heart rate and Blood pressure; Improving mood; Stress reduction; Treating depression; Pain control; Sleep and dream improvement; Libido treatment; and Anxiety control.

With so much to gain in one’s health from alpha brainwave production, and knowing that people want immediate and impressive results, I decided to see if there was a quicker method than using the disk to attain the alpha state.

After experimentation, I developed a pair of Alpha Brainwave Generation Glasses. These glasses flood the retina with violet light at a specific optical frequency, and cause the two brain hemispheres to rapidly synchronize in alpha. I call them Alpha Gen Glasses.

Note: Exposure to the lower end of the visual spectrum can accelerate cataract development. I checked with several optometrists who indicated short-term indoor use was not detrimental to the user.

Here is the first pair that I made.

The glasses utilize optical filtration. The user wears these indoors only for about 5 minutes, then sits back, closes their eyes, and sees a beautiful violet light. After about 3 to 5 minutes, the effect begins. A warming in the upper legs moving to the base of the spine, to the chest, and into the brain. Synchronization of the brain’s hemispheres is attained. Amazing body relaxation and “orgasmic” pleasure is felt!

Here is the setup that I used to measure my brainwaves. It uses a dry electrode and an accompanying software application, which I ran on my iTouch.

I thought that these glasses would be an excellent tool for use by a clinical psychologist in treating patients with PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I can also see them being used in all kinds of traumatic situations, reducing anxiety / pain and the need for meds or additional meds:

  • Dental Procedures
  • Hospital Emergency Rooms
  • Fire / Rescue Emergencies
  • Police Interventions
  • Sports Injuries (Professional, College, High School)
  • Psychiatric Interventions
  • Therapy Sessions
  • Trauma At Home

Additionally, they could be used for ‘recreational pleasure. Nothing wrong with putting a pair of these glasses on and feeling intense pleasure. No partner or drugs involved. Just a pair of amazing glasses! Like the ‘Orb’ in the movie Sleeper.

I tried to generate some interest with the US Navy. At least they sent me a nice letter in return.

I also did a study for SPY Optical, which includes optical measurement data (if someone wants to develop these further). If you have interest, please use the Contact form on the blog’s menu bar to email me.

After determining the filter to use, here is how I made the glasses. This is a new pair that I just finished.

I chose a pair of sunglasses that did not have much lens curvature and provided some side screening as well.

I marked the center of my two pupils while staring straight ahead. You need a friend to help you with this step.

I used a Dremel tool to drill out the centers to nearly the size of the filters.

Next I painted the front of the glasses. I only want the light to pass through the optical filters. It’s the only color I had – black is best.

I secured the filters in place with silicon. These are the completed glasses. They work very fast and very well. I use them often.

I am very hopeful that one day these glasses will help thousands of people around the world.

I believe that your EYES are the window to your soul and consciousness!
