Somnambulism, lucid dreaming, astral projection, out of body experience and transferred consciousness.

Netflix mini series, ''Behind her eyes'', did take it to even spookier height now, didn't they? With the whole consciousness switch. Somnambulism (Sleep walking and the effect it might have on both the patient and the immediate environment). The psychological effect of recurring lucid dream. Lets not  even start to talk about the repercussion of ever gaining the ability to intentionally transfer and/or separate human consciousness from its physical body. Astral Projection and Out-of-body Experience 

The way each sleep disorder was slipped into the plot, as tension builds.  Couple of episodes into it, you might put the series down as one of the typical "Cheating husband hooking up with his secretary, obsession type of movie.  Then it dawns on you as you dive deeper into it.  

For someone who has experienced the lucid dreaming phenomenon, it is even more surreal. Tip toeing around the movie to avoid spoilers and sticking to the lucid dream, astral projection(out of body experience) somnambulism and transferred consciousness. Lucid dreaming and somnambulism are confirmed to be as real as it get, as various studies and reports have been made around the subjects. Astral projection and transferred consciousness however still border around the metaphysical, with no concrete proof in science as of yet. But then you want to consider the possibility of this ever being a reality. It is scary enough with all the cameras, radars and being monitored. you cant even think out your thought in peace without the fear of being target marketed.   

For those who have had the lucid dream experience, you would agree that it is really scary.  That feeling of helplessness  as your mind fights your body in futile attempt for control. When going to sleep becomes a dread.

IS SOCIAL MEDIA COMEDY/SKIT THE DEATH OF ACTUAL STAND-UP? ...as we tend toward the ridiculous.

Basketmouth  (Bright Okpocha) 2013 ''there are two things involved'' comedy schtick was both revolutionary and entertaining for its time. It was funny without being out rightly vulgar and informative at the same time. That particular act could have been performed at the Def Comedy Jam and it would have gotten the same reaction from the audience. Well thought out and hilariously thought provoking. But then maybe I was late to catch up with the scene.  Acts like Alibaba (GDFR) commonly credited as the grandfather of modern Nigerian standup comedy, pioneer/revolutionary in his own right.  In comes social media and a influx of would be comedians, talented and non-talented alike.  All it takes now is a smart phone, a few apps like Snapchat and Tiktok for effect and you are good to go.  Throw in maybe a ridiculous dress (say a man dressed as a woman, but not as a drag art) and a wig and you sure are going viral. The whole COVID-19 situation, the ...

afìlù - Chapter 1

The talking drum sounds the very familiar beat, as the frantic dancers echo the tune in tandem to corresponding steps. Short and precise, the kongo struck. Each strike, a different tone. The stretch the contrast, each stroke, a different moan.  " àseese tún se. àseese tún se. T'áabá sè yí tán, ká tún sè'mîì si.  àseese tún se. àseese tún se".  '' We shall celebrate again. We shall celebrate again. As soon as we  finish this celebration, we will have another.''.  Serving as both interlude and chorus.

Coming 2 America- the sequel ~ A Costuming Finesse

A Costuming Finesse. Coming2America premiered on Amazon Prime on March 5th and it was a total statement made, mic drop in the costuming and wardrobe department. If you thought topping the costuming finesse that was Marvel's ''Black Panther'' movie, for which the ''Best costume design  Academy award'' was won, then you are very mistaken. Coming2America was a jaw dropping visual experience from start to finish.         Costume Designer Ruth E. Carter on Creating Coming 2 America's Royal Look  in her interview for Town & Country Magazine describes the experience ''as the perfect example of the mixture of high fashion, historical references and big screen razzle-dazzle''  .  ''a chance to build on the visual story of the original and update it with modern sensibility''                            - Ruth E. Carter for Town & Country Magazine.   And it sure lived up t...
