UNPLUGGED DOG DREAMS?

hat if there was a simple phrase that explained why we, people are the way
we are and then further explained what each of us can do about it?

Unplugged Dog Dreams is such a phrase! Each word in the phrase represents
one of three unrelated psychological experiments whose findings (when strung together in a particular sequence) create an undeniable, irrefutable, possible way to
view the human condition and why we are the way we are.

Introduction

Welcome to my book. It's funny calling it my book because most everything in here I
learned from other people.

As I look at my life and myself I find that I have the interesting ability to assimilate vast
amounts of information. For one reason or another, my brain seems to automatically and
effortlessly search for the commonality between everything it encounters. The result of this
skill is the ensuing book.

I have had a very full life. In my 43 years I have crossed paths with many great minds
each of which have shared a bit of wisdom, a piece of the puzzle.

As for the actuality of this book and its contents, I act as a reporter in that I'm just
putting the pieces together to tell the story. Every now and then I will interject an idea in order
to facilitate a transition or two, yet for the most part, the only thing that is new is how the
information is compiled and presented.

Many years ago in a workshop facilitated by Ram Dass, we were asked a question which at
this time seems quite apropos. He asked us to imagine going to a violin recital where the
music leads us to have a very deep and moving experience. Now... if after this concert... after
this extraordinary musical experience... we find ourselves wanting to thank someone... do you
suppose we would walk up to the stage and thank the violin? No... I didn't think so... not
usually anyway. So... from this moment forward, consider me the violin.

This book ultimately came about as a result of a near-death experience I had at the age of
thirteen. In a quest to understand that experience, I have spent my life exposing myself to as
many spiritual, psychological and self-help systems as I could find. Each one seemed to think
that it had some exclusive rights to a one-way ticket to heaven or something... and that
somehow its way... was the only way.

I personally have difficulty with things like this the our way is the only way business...

Chapter 1

so I made it my mission to find out what all these Ways had in common. And now... after
30 years of research, I think I have found an answer to this.

I hope the things I've written will help us thats all of us to sort some of this stuff
out and stimulate a common understanding to generate a way of thinking and
communicating that will bring us all together... and bring us all to a more peaceful way of
co-existing on this planet.

This whole thing is really an experiment. Its ability to find its way to you is proof that the
ideas, concepts and practices introduced within, do in fact work. There were many voices in
my head in my self-talk that wanted to prove that I could not and would not succeed in
writing a book. Actually, right now as I write this, as you will soon read, there are many parts
of me that really do not believe that I can do this. So, I'm pulling up my boot straps and
steppin out.

I sincerely hope you have a wonderful experience reading this book. I hope it helps in
expanding your understanding of yourself. I hope you find this approach to looking at life
self-comforting and self-compassionate. I hope you find the information and the perspective
it offers as a filtering or sorting system through which to view your life.

By no means do I think I have or claim to have found The Truth or The Way. I simply
have found a perspective, a Possible Way to view the universe... and in so doing share it
with you so that maybe you can find a little breathing room, a little peace of mind in this very
intense experience called life.

Thank you for spending this time with me. Enjoy... enjoy!

Dedication

I dedicate this book to my children, Shanti, Ramana and Namaste. Not only did they
provide a reason to better myself as a human being, they also provided a testing ground as
subjects for most of what I believe in today. Thank you my beautiful friends and teachers.

I also dedicate this book to Pam, my former wife and beautiful parenting partner who bore,
nursed and raised these angels.

Thank you to all four of you for always loving and supporting me.

I thank and dedicate this book to Ram Dass and Maharaj-ji for being the examples of
surrender and love which have guided me thus far in my journey.

I also wish to dedicate this book to me. I dedicate it to me for putting up with myself all
these years and giving myself the love and support I needed to get through all this. I sincerely
thank me. (You'll understand in a few chapters.)

Chapter One - Unplugged Dog Dreams

Okay then... here we go... where to start? How about the premise? Sounds good to me...
so...

This entire book is based on three main concepts. These three concepts lets call them
The Big Three for short are, for all practical purposes, the basis for our psychological
reality well, actually our perceived reality on any level. It's quite limiting to say it's only
our psychological reality because I believe everything is related. One can not separate the
physical from the non-physical nor the psychological from the spiritual. It would be like trying
to flip only one side of a coin. If you're going to flip one, then both sides must go for the ride.
I believe there is no separation between all our realities distinct differences, but no
separation. So although much of this book will relate to scientific and/or psychological data, I
believe one will easily find the underlying spiritual current. At other times, I believe the
spiritual content will be quite evident.

So It is in this chapter that one possible explanation as to why we are the way we are
shall be revealed. The information I share will stay with you for life. Once it is revealed, I
believe it will assist you in remembering everything you will need to remember in order to
re-member or pull the parts of yourself together in order to affect your life in the way that
you deem necessary. This way you may fulfill yourself and your dreams to any degree that
you wish.

After you read this chapter, you'll have one of the secrets to creating an amazing life and
after that, you'll have a foundation on which to build. It's kind of like I'll supply the sample
blueprints (the model), you provide the materials (your life experiences). Together we will
build an amazing place for you to live and grow. You'll have all the skills and training
necessary to do any remodeling or maybe add an addition or two at a later date if youd like.

So, what's this Unplugged Dog Dreams all about? I'm glad you asked. It, my friends, is the
basis for our perceived and experienced reality. Each word stands for one of The Big Three
concepts I mentioned earlier. This simple phrase Unplugged Dog Dreams, can be used by

Repeatlessness - A life of living each moment as new.

Chapter 1

each of us to remind ourselves of the things that keep us from getting what we want out of
life. Once we remember those things, we can change some habits and do some activities
which will bring to us whatever it is that we want. In order to understand what I mean, I'll
have to tell you three short stories. All three stories are based on three separate and unrelated
research projects that took place in three separate decades. When the findings of these projects
are strung together in a particular sequence, they create a picture and possible explanation as
to why things are the way they are here on earth. Ultimately they point to an undeniable,
irrefutable possible way to look at life and the universe.

As stated in the introduction, I do not claim to have The truth or The way I simply
provide a Possible way to view this thing we call life. It can be used as a filtering system to
gain a new perspective on life. So here it goes.

Unplugged Dog Dreams

The first word in our phrase is Unplugged. The following paragraph will describe the first
set of scientific findings that the word Unplugged will represent. To understand these
findings we must first talk about something called self-talk.

Each one of us has a voice inside our head that speaks to us all day everyday. I can just
imagine someone who is reading this say to themselves, What's he talking about? It is that
voice, that just asked that question, that I am specifically talking about. That voice speaks to
us all the time. This inner dialog goes on and on all day and all night making comments,
storing information, doing what it does. That voice, or that inner dialog, is referred to in the
scientific community as sub-vocalization or self-talk. These sub-vocalizations, self-talks or
thought forms are happening quite rapidly; in fact, so rapidly that we actually don't hear most
of them. If I were to speak to you as fast as I could, let's say, like a very fast auctioneer, your
mind can think at least four times faster.

That means that as each of us are listening to someone talk, we are actually talking and
listening to ourselves form opinions and responses about four times faster than they are
speaking. Apparently research indicates that during a conversation we actually listen to
7

Repeatlessness - A life of living each moment as new.

By Joe Marshalla

www.repeatlessness.com

Chapter 1

ourselves more than we actually listen to the person who is talking to us.

Whether we are in conversation with someone or not, the rapidity of our self-talk is
astounding. My understanding is that each of us have billions of neural impulses each moment
and amongst those billions of impulses there are a certain amount of a particular type of
impulse that must be happening in order to determine that our brains are alive.

My understanding is that one must have a minimum of about 90 of these particular brain
impulses per minute, or their brain is considered dead. And you know what happens when the
doctors determine you are brain dead: they unplug you. What happens after that is a subject
for another book.

So 90 brain impulses per minute; that's about one-and-a-half impulses per second. Now,
apparently these continue on and on throughout the day and by the time 24 hours has elapsed,
somewhere around a minimum of 130,000 brain impulses have occurred.

Now among these brain impulses we have self-talk. Current research indicates that we have
around 35 thought forms per minute. When extrapolated out to a 24-hour period it is
estimated that we have around 50,000 self-talk thought forms everyday. What the heck are we
talking to ourselves about?

This next part may blow your mind. Science has shown that of these 50,000 thought forms,
roughly 80 percent, or 40,000 of them, are negative or limiting in some way. Ill repeat that...
of the 50,000 thought forms that we have each day, 80 percent, or 40,000 are negative or
limiting in some way.

But wait, that's not all. Of these 50,000 thousand thought forms that automatically happen
all the time every day, the average human being, who is attending to his or her sub-vocalized
self-talk this average being, who is just like you and me, who listens and interacts with him
or her self is only aware of around five percent of this dialog. That's point-zero-five. Did
you get that? The average person only interacts with around five percent of his or her
thoughts. The other 95 percent just occur without our attention or direction. They just happen!
8

Repeatlessness - A life of living each moment as new.

By Joe Marshalla

www.repeatlessness.com

Chapter 1

That means that of the 50,000 sub-vocalization self-talks that occur throughout the day, we
bring conscious attention to and interact with approximately 2500. I repeat: out of 50,000
thought forms we only actually listen to, and consciously interact with, around 2500 of them.

But wait, once again, that's still not all. Of these 2500 thought forms that we interact with,
80 percent, or 2000 of them, are negative or limiting in some way. So each day we have
approximately 2000 negative thoughts for every 500 positive ones. That's roughly a four-toone ratio. If you look at it in terms of a tug of war within oneself, is it any surprise who's
winning?
For example, I may say to myself:
I'm gonna write a book.
And my own mind responds with:
You can't do that. Are you crazy? Why do you think you can do
that? If it were that easy, everyone would do it.
Your own mind is probably wrestling with these statistics right now. Part of your thoughts
want to hear this yet a much larger contingency is attempting to persuade you differently. All
day long we experience this internal tug of war. What really gets me is that we are only aware
of and interact with approximately five percent of it.

So in summary, 50,000 thought forms a day, 80 percent or 40,000 are negative or limiting
is some way. Of these 50,000, we are aware of around five percent, or 2500, of which 80
percent, or 2000 are negative or limiting in some way. So for every 500 positive thoughts we
have, 2000 negative ones are mixed in before, during and after them.

How do we stop this thing? How do we turn it off? Where's the switch? Can't we just
unplug it?

Unfortunately the answer is no. We can not unplug it. One can unplug from it, but one can
not unplug it. Once again, one can unplug from it, but one can not unplug it. If you did unplug
9

Chapter 1

it, they would unplug you which is the subject for a whole other book and besidesthen
you wouldnt be able to learn how to ultimately use this information to your advantage.
Which, if I'm not mistaken, is the whole purpose of you reading this book.

So in review we think and speak to ourselves through self-talk all day, every day and
our negative thoughts outweigh our positive thoughts by four to one.

Thats it thats the first part of The Big Three. The word Unplugged represents all that
information. Now let's continue with the next piece of the puzzle.

Unplugged Dog Dreams

The next bit of information will be associated with the word Dog and represents the second
piece of our Big Three puzzle.

Experimental psychologists are a wonderful breed (pun intended). It is through their

laborious efforts that we can learn quite a bit. You may or may not agree with their methods,
and most animal lovers wont, but at least we can take advantage of their findings. In the
following example, we uncover a very important part of The Big Three.

Some years ago a research team built a large dog size maze. A metal screen was attached to
the floor so that an electric current could be sent as a shock throughout the surface of the floor.
The next ingredient for this experiment was a dog. The researchers placed a dog at the
beginning of the maze and proceeded to give it an electric shock through its paws. Needless to
say, in response to this jolt, the pooch high tailed it through the maze running away from the
area where it was shocked. Over and over the scientists proved to themselves that when a dog
is placed at one end of a maze and given an electric shock, it will, in fact, run through the
maze to get the heck away from the shock.

Seems reasonable on the canine's part. I mean Id do the same thing, too. What had been
established though was that when a dog is made uncomfortable by shocking its paws with
electricity, it will run away from the place it was shocked in order to find a safer place where
10

Chapter 1

it wont get shocked anymore. Pretty basic, huh? Ya know stimuli/response.

The next part of the experiment is really quite awful and I must share it with you in order
to make a very important point. Please forgive me for the ensuing imagery, yet I hope it sticks
in your mind forever and provides you with an understanding of one of our predicaments as
humans.

What the scientist did next was pretty gross. They took our little doggy and put him in a
harness. Essentially the harness was like a straight jacket and made it impossible for the dog to
move. After our doggy was rendered immobile, part two of our experiment began.

They placed the dog back in the maze and proceeded to shock its little paws. Over and over,
again and again, they repeated the shock treatment. Each time the dog attempted to run. No
matter how hard it tried to escape, the harness held it to its fate. After some time, the dog
finally gave up. It just stood there passively receiving the shocks. No matter how many times
they shocked the pooch, it no longer tried to do anything.

The crucial findings associated with this cruelty came in the next phase of the experiment.
The scientist removed the harness from the dog and once again placed it in the maze.
Following the usual procedures, they pushed the button, shocked the dog, and to their
amazement, it just stood there. It didn't move. They repeated the program, shock after shock
and the dog just stood there passively receiving the brutal treatment. Although it was
completely unbound, free to run and escape, it just stood there, attempting nothing.

This experiment and the dogs reaction to it came to be known as the Learned
Helplessness Phenomenon. Although the dog previously had learned to run from the shock,
after being harnessed and repeatedly failing to escape, it finally just gave up. Even after being
removed from the restraint, the dog was resigned to its previous harnessed reality. It was
completely free to run, yet it didn't.

So thats it. Thats the second part of The Big Three. The word Dog represents all that
information. The word Dog represents the learned helplessness phenomenon.

Chapter 1

Now let's continue on to the last piece of the puzzle.

Unplugged Dog Dreams

Although the first two pieces of research and the images and knowledge they convey stand
alone and are significant in and of themselves, the next bit of research and the sequence of
thoughts thereafter complete the entire picture of the perspective of Unplugged Dog Dreams.

In the early 70s, researchers decided they wanted to study dreams, or more specifically
what effect dreams and their associated brain wave activities had on our every day lives.

Earlier experiments in this field had proven that we (humans) dream every night. Although
we may not remember them, our minds dream each and every night. Whether we liked it or
not, it, the mind, just does this thing.

So scientists now wanted to know why. Why do we dream? What purpose do dreams
serve? How do dreams affect us? What happens if we don't dream? Blah blah blah, the
question really was, What the heck's goin on in there and how the heck do we do this? You
see, at that time in history scientists did not have all the modern sophisticated equipment
that they have today.

To better understand the purpose of dreaming and what effect it has on our daily lives, the
researchers decided they would study the dreamless mind. In order to do this they had to
design an experiment which would deprive humans of their dream state. By observing these
dreamless minds, researchers hoped to find some difference in the waking mind so they could
determine what role dreams played in the construction and development of our day-to-day
lives. In short, how dreams affect our awake human life.

Previously science had determined that as we begin to dream, our eyes dart side to side
very rapidly. This is known as Rapid Eye Movement (REM). With this information the
researchers and their graduate students would attempt to monitor sleeping people and wake
them when their eyes began to move.
12

Repeatlessness - A life of living each moment as new.

By Joe Marshalla

www.repeatlessness.com

Chapter 1

The experiment began. Our human subjects agreed to sleep in a lab and be awakened each
and every time their REMs began. So there they were, sleeping away and soon after the
researchers determined that the dream state had begun, they woke up the subjects, depriving
them of their dream states. All night long, for many days, the sequence went like this: sleep,
REM, wake up. . . sleep, REM, wake up. . .sleep, REM, wake up.

Soon after this experiment was started, it was terminated. The findings were alarming. In
fact, the test was considered so dangerous and unethical that apparently no test like it has been
conducted since.

What did they find? They found that people people just like you and me who are
deprived of dreaming in their sleep, become very disturbed. In fact, dream deprivation caused
anxiety, irritability and frustration in the subjects who experienced it. All the subjects became
very uncomfortable with life. Some were contemplating suicide to end their despair, others
became outwardly violent. All in all, when these people were not allowed to dream in their
sleep, they became very unpleasant to be around.

Since that time, science has advanced and our understanding of the mind has increased. We
now can read brain-wave activity and measure the precise wave length of brain states. In fact,
I heard of one article in a science magazine where researchers were actually weighing a
thought. Imagine that weighing a thought like a physical object. Who'd of thought you
could weigh your thinking? The thought of it gives a whole new meaning to the word diet. I
can see it now . . . Over-Thinkers Anonymous! I could really go off on this one but I'm
going to choose to get back to the point. The point is, we scientifically know more about the
human mind today than any other time in the recorded history of man.

One of the things we know now is that there is no difference between the brain activity of a
dreaming mind while were asleep and the brain activity of day dreaming mind while we're
awake. They are basically identical. Dreaming has the same effect on you whether you are
asleep or awake.

So what? you say. So . . . I mean soooooooo . . . think about it. If you basically go nuts
13

Repeatlessness - A life of living each moment as new.

By Joe Marshalla

www.repeatlessness.com

Chapter 1

when you don't dream at night, wouldn't the same be true if you are not allowed your dreams
and aspirations during the day? Is there anything we've already spoken about that would be
depriving us of our dreams?

The secret is now upon us the meaning and significance of The Big Three. Unplugged
Dog Dreams represents the culmination of a half century of research.

Now the question I submit is this: since we know and have established that there is no
difference between dreaming while we're asleep or awake, what effect does this have on our
day-to-day reality concerning our choices, decisions and actions?

The effect that is happening to us right now, even as you read this, is this: we attempt to
dream a better life, a better job, a better world and simultaneously we are instantly stopped,
woken up, shaken from our dreams by the automatic negative thoughts that bombard us
throughout each moment causing us to resign ourselves to a state of learned helplessness.

Once again, . . . we attempt to dream a better life, a better job, a better world and
simultaneously we are instantly stopped, woken up, shaken from our dreams by the automatic
negative thoughts that bombard us throughout each moment causing us to resign ourselves to
a state of learned helplessness.

Whew . . . pretty heavy, isnt it? Well please allow me to repeat this point in a different
way. It seems to me that our day to day awake life experience is identical to that of the dream
research lab. We want to change. We want to grow. We want to dream. Yet we've given up
before we've even allowed ourselves to consider our options. We disregard the limitless
possibilities in and for our lives and resign ourselves to a state of learned helplessness because
80 percent of our thought forms, most of which we're not even aware of, tell us that it's useless
to even ponder the possibilities.

Just like in the lab when the researchers were waking up their subjects to deprive them of
their dreams, so too our own thoughts keep waking us up from our dreams and desires for a
better life for ourselves. Our minds extinguish any positive thoughts or dreams we may have
14

Repeatlessness - A life of living each moment as new.

By Joe Marshalla

Chapter 1

with a 400 percent greater negative effort. It thoughtlessly and unconsciously defeats itself

Realizing this really bothered me. The idea that I have been unconsciously and to an
extent consciously sabotaging myself because I have a mind that automatically thinks
more negative thoughts than positive ones and that the positive thoughts I have get diluted
and canceled out which leaves me thinking and feeling that it's useless to attempt to change
my life and my surroundings just flat out bothers me.

To consider that I am bound by an invisible set of thoughts, or even worse, thoughts about
those thoughts, really troubles me. According to the dog research, I will act as though I am
bound even if I am not, just because at some point I was. Any way you look at it, its not
good.

To take this point further, look around this world. Just look at most of the people living in
this world. What do you see? I see that a large percentage of this world is filled with human
beings who are just like the human subjects in the dream research lab: anxious, irritable and
frustrated people who exhibit suicidal tendencies, violence toward themselves, violence
towards others, the environment and basically an entire species who is very uncomfortable
with its existence.

I hate looking at the world this way and at the same time this is what I see. We all see it
everyday, just watch the news. With TV and movies we actually entertain ourselves with it.
Billions of dollars are spent reinforcing and driving the message home that we are victims to
this and that's just the way it is.

Some may see this as a very bleak situation. Take a moment and examine your own
thinking right now. What's your self-talk doing? What's it saying? Is it denying or agreeing? Is
it explaining or justifying? Is it frustrated or irritable? Mine is. Mine is doing all of the abov
and more. Positive, negative, positive, negative, on and on all day long this thing just happens.
Every time I think of the world like this, it bothers me. It does.

Yet I feel this is good for me. Why? Well because for so many years I have been numb. I
15

Chapter 1

just turned off my feelings. And as soon as I would feel uncomfortable, I'd push that feeling
away and pretend I was okay. My whole life I've been pretending that I was okay. I'm strong
and I can deal with it.

When I was a kid my dad would frequently say to me, That's just the way it is. So deal
with it! The funny thing isno-one ever taught me how to deal with it, I just kind of made it
up. My way was to stuff it and pretend. The more I talk about it in public, the more I find
thousands of people who say that that's what they do, too. My whole life has been this internal
tug-of-war of pretending everything is okay, when deep inside I know it isn't. Now when I feel
it, I use that feeling to trigger my mind to pay attention and have a good look to understand
that there is a system supporting this behavior and that maybe I can do something about it.

When I stumbled upon Unplugged Dog Dreams (UDD), when I realized the implication of
the research, when I saw what was happening in my own mind, a light went on: the Ah
Hah! phenomenon. I saw that this was a key. This was one of the missing links that this
information could lead me to understand and unlock my potential.

Swami Vivikananda once said, Once we begin to know a thing, we then may have power
over it. So information is power. And this information afforded me a moments rest, a lull in
the storm. This information allowed me to understand that when I'm upset or uncomfortable,
I'm just stuck in a loop! And that that loop is not who I am, rather it's just what my mind is
thinking. That in fact, I'm not in a harness. I'm free. I'm free, free, free! All these years, unable
to move, all because of an imagined harness that's been gone for years and years. And now no
matter what anyone says, I know what's up. I'm free.

It's like being in a totally unfamiliar and foreign room with all the lights off. It's completely
dark and you can't see anything except this tiny circle of light from a pen light flashlight about
an inch from the ground. This information has allowed me to take a hold of this flashlight and
slowly raise it higher and higher which slowly illuminates and reveals more and more of the
room. Suddenly I can see more of my surroundings and begin to navigate and explore.
Looking for a candle, a lamp and ultimately the light switch so that I may save the batteries in
the flashlight. you know, in case there's another dark room some day. So onto the light
switch!
