It's New Year, and Nick Antosca has some change-your-life tips we should probably all follow! Watch and find out. Nick comes in hot and enthused by his wild, intense nightmares. He talks about how we should all be grateful for the free entertainment of our bad dreams! Or maybe even monetize them, like he does! How journaling his dreams gives him a much better understanding of his own subconscious. Connections of dreams with meditation and ketamine therapy, plus child demons and mothers. Nick’s most horrific nightmare about being brutally executed, and how his family was behind it. We discover Nick’s healthy mental morning routines for creative work, and dealing with phone and email distractions. Plus why a state of hyper-vigilance is really bad for you, and the horror of the infinite scroll. Catherine is horrified by the iconic disgusting Tooth Child from Channel Zero. James talks about star gazing. Oh, and Nick’s cat is a French philosopher (naturellement!). In this week’s Side Barb, Barbara wants to know if Nick’s dreams are actually Lovecraftian, and she plays a new Mad-Lib specially written for a writer!
