A Personal Dive
Some topics feel more like campfire stories than hard science—this is one of them. I’m not offering answers here, just following a thread that’s been tugging at my mind for a while.
The human subconscious has always been a puzzle. There’s the clinical stuff—Freud, Jung, all those iceberg diagrams—but also the weird stories, the moments that don’t fit: dreams that feel like messages, flashes of insight that seem to come from nowhere, uncanny “nudges” when you’re alone in the dark. Sometimes I wonder: what if we’re not the only ones inside our own minds?
A Little Physics Detour
Here’s where it gets tricky. Physics gives us a limit called the Planck length—the supposed “pixel size” of our reality, smaller than atoms, protons, quarks, you name it. The “sub-Planck dimension” is, by definition, even smaller: a realm so tiny, no tool (or theory) can actually probe it. Officially, it’s a hypothetical zone, but some thinkers wonder if it could be where reality itself gets weird enough for things like consciousness, memory, or—yes—contact with “the other” to take place.
The Theory: Entities at the Threshold
Now, let’s suspend disbelief for a second. Some researchers and a lot of speculative thinkers have floated the idea that interdimensional entities—whatever they are—might interact with us by dipping into this sub-Planck realm. The argument goes:
- The subconscious isn’t just neurons firing randomly; it might be some kind of receiver, a quantum antenna picking up signals from realities outside our own.
- These signals could be subtle: odd dreams, sudden fears, flashes of genius, or even what some people call “visitations” or “downloads.”
- Reports of paranormal experiences, alien abductions, and even certain types of deep meditation or shamanic journeys might fit into this framework—not as pure fantasy, but as distorted perceptions of something real, but largely invisible to ordinary senses.
I’m not saying I buy it all, but the idea sticks. I’ve had experiences I can’t chalk up to “random brain static”—maybe you have too.
What’s at Stake?
If any of this holds water, it pokes holes in the neat, mechanical view of consciousness as just a byproduct of the brain. It opens up the possibility that “mind” is porous, multi-layered, and sometimes open to the wider universe—or universes. Maybe what we call the subconscious is a bridge, and what crosses it isn’t always ours.
This isn’t about hunting for little green men or shadowy “spirits” hiding under the bed. It’s about holding space for the unknown, and questioning whether some of the boundaries we treat as solid are actually porous, or even illusory.
Final Thoughts
I’m not wrapping this up with a grand conclusion—honestly, I don’t think there is one, at least not yet. For now, I’m content to keep exploring, collecting stories, reading the fringe, and comparing notes with anyone else curious enough to look under the rug of reality.
If this stuff intrigues you, here are a few books that sparked my own questions:
- Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku
- The Conscious Universe by Dean Radin
- The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot
- The Reality of ESP by Russell Targ and Jane Katra
- The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
