J.A. Bayona recommended E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) in Movies (curated)

"Another film would be E.T. from Spielberg. I think somehow it’s a kind of fantasy film — very grounded in reality, very respectful of childhood. It’s a multi-layer, so the complexity of childhood — the way they portrayed a kid going through a very difficult moment in his life — I think it reminded me a lot of the kinds of movies that I love."

Clea DuVall recommended Pan's Labyrinth (2006) in Movies (curated)

"I hate fantasy movies. I did not want to see this film. I don’t remember why I ended up seeing it, but it immediately drew me in and left me breathless. Guillermo del Toro has the ability to create magical worlds that are emotionally grounded, and he never shies away from the darkness that exists in both fantasy and reality."

Daniel Pinchbeck recommended Tibetan Yogas of Sleep and Dream in Books (curated)

"This book is a practical manual, following esoteric Tibetan practices, to attain lucidity in dream and even dreamless sleep. I followed the instructions for a time, and found they worked. My dreams opened up and I started to gain lucidity. If you follow these techniques out to their furthest extreme, you will realize the dreamlike nature of reality and attain enlightenment."
