Berkeley, CA, September 12, 2007 ” Throughout history, an understanding of the nature of consciousness has been sought after through a variety of fields of research – philosophy, psychology, biology, neurology, physics, various spiritual and occult systems, and more. Often a seemingly concrete solution to the “problem” of consciousness in one field can be counter-balanced by an equally concrete and very opposite solution in another field. To fully understand and appreciate the mystery of consciousness, a multi-disciplinary approach is indispensable.
StreamsOfConsciousness.org is the brainchild of consciousness researcher Kevin Kovelant. The plural “streams” was chosen deliberately, as the study of the nature of consciousness requires a multi-faceted approach. The website features an active blog and impressive array of links to consciousness and dream-related resources online.
“I created this site to be a gateway to the exciting research being conducted in consciousness studies and dream studies,” says site founder Kevin Kovelant. “While I don’t necessarily agree with the results or philosophical conclusions being drawn by all of the research being done in these fields, I believe it is important to keep the dialogue open in order to get a comprehensive view of these fascinating avenues of inquiry.”
For further information, please contact kev@streamsofconsciousness.org, or visit http://streamsofconsciousness.org, on the web.
Kevin Kovelant is currently completing his Masters degree in Consciousness Studies and Dream Studies at John F. Kennedy University in Pleasant Hill, California.
This site looks great! Thanks for the link. It has now been ‘stumbled’. 🙂
just heard you on marcel’s podcast. sorry i missed it live as i had a dream “visitation” about 17 years ago.
actually I had a series of three dreams two were called garden dreams which i learned later when i started my research into life after death.
the last dream was the most profound and i remember it like it happened 5 minutes ago. this is the link if you are interested in learning more about this series of dreams. also you may find this person’s website interesting.

to my knowledge this dream had nothing to do with grief but out of frustration of finding religion very illogical with most of its christian beliefs and my success as a consultant did not bring me the peace as i was hoping for.
trust me when i tell you that the compassion this entity showed me was beyond anything i have experienced in this world. i would go so far as to state we in this world really dont show this level of compassion at least not anything i have experienced. and the spiritual hug was beyond words. beautiful beyond words. i have never had such a dream since and i dream every night.
thanks for this story and link, William. however, i think you are mistaking me for Kevin Kovelant (streamsofconsciousness.org) – who was just featured on AfterLife FM: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/afterlifeFM/2007/12/05/Deep-Inside-the-Dream
but i think it’s interesting that your experience fits with Kovelant’s research – which is that many experiences of dream visitations are NOT characterized by grieving, which is apparently commonly reported in the literature.
the compassion you speak of is a wonderful gift – thanks again for sharing.
