I Need That Like A Hole In The Head: DIY Trephination
This episode is not for the faint of heart and may contain some graphic language. I explore the realms of trepanation, dreams, and self-exploration through various historical and contemporary stories. It begins by unraveling the ancient practice of trepanation, delving into its medical and mystical aspects. The narrative then shifts to the swinging sixties, where individuals like Amanda Feilding and Joey Mellen championed self-trepanation in pursuit of enlightenment.
Next, the episode introduces Mikhail, a YouTube sensation, and his daring experiment to influence dreams through self-trepanation. His audacious journey into the world of lucid dreaming pushes the boundaries of science and self-discovery.
Finally, the podcast examines the modern resurgence of self-trepanation, driven by a variety of motivations, from altered states of consciousness to the desire for ultimate control. Expert opinions caution against this practice due to its inherent risks and lack of scientific evidence.
In conclusion, the episode takes listeners on a captivating journey through history and the human psyche, shedding light on the fascinating worlds of trepanation, dreams, and the relentless quest for self-exploration.
