Sometimes I have weird dreams.<\/p>\n
Not nightmares, necessarily.<\/p>\n
But bizarre and vivid dreams that have me thinking about them days later. And usually, after I think about them a while, an interpretation that makes sense emerges.<\/p>\n
Except this last one kinda baffles me.<\/p>\n
Just too weird.<\/p>\n
But… maybe useful<\/em> to you as a marketer.<\/p>\n Want to hear about it?<\/p>\n OK, well, the dream was about the infamous “Bohemian Grove.”<\/p>\n What’s the Bohemian Grove?<\/p>\n It’s a big campground in the northern California woods.<\/p>\n And, depending on who you ask, it’s also the playground (complete with a giant owl statue) for a bored fraternity of ex-presidents, corporate leaders, media celebrities and bankers… or a nefarious council of the world’s richest and most powerful men, plotting world domination while engaging in satanic and occult rituals, rites, prostitution and even human sacrifice!<\/p>\n Is any of this true?<\/p>\n I have no idea.<\/p>\n Never been there.<\/p>\n Except… in my dream the other night.<\/p>\n But here’s the thing.<\/p>\n Instead of seeing high falutin’ power brokers… I saw goo-roos<\/em>.<\/p>\n Lots and lots of goo-roos.<\/p>\n And they were dressed in hooded robes (masking their faces), petting the owls and dancing around a bon fire while plotting their next product launch.<\/p>\n Weird, eh?<\/p>\n Yeah, can’t argue with you there.<\/p>\n So why do I bring this up?<\/p>\n Well, I think it’s a perfect example of the attention-getting (and memory-jolting) power of the ultra weird and bizarre<\/strong>. Because of the weirdness of the images, I have not easily forgotten the dream. And, since you’ve read this far, there’s a good chance it “hooked” you in, too.<\/p>\n Frankly, it’s almost impossible<\/em> to ignore weird stuff.<\/p>\n Why?<\/p>\n Because things out of place stick out.<\/strong><\/p>\n Kinda like the woman in the red dress scene in “The Matrix.”<\/p>\n And guess what?<\/p>\n I talk more about this in the subject lines section of “The Email\u00a0Players Playbook” — which is free to “Email Players” subscribers\u00a0(and teaches my email methodology in detail).<\/p>\n Anyway, that’s that for today.<\/p>\n Subscribe to “Email Players” here:<\/p>\n
