The mystery surrounding the murder of Claire D’Ebano further complicates when anatomopathologist Virgilio Silesio confirms that not only Renveino did not technically kill the psychiatrist, but that he instead introduced a small object in her slit throat. A little vial designed to release a powerful endotoxin. In the meanwhile Kane D’Ebano decides to return on the place of the murder, his wife’s office. He now knows Claire D’Ebano was involved in a far more obscure professional practice than he had ever imagined.

What is synchronicity? Beginning with Jung’s theory of the acausal connecting principle through to its application to the case of Claire D’Ebano, Prof. Premuda explores the fascinating theory behind this particular kind of “asynchronous” coincidence.

Upon his release, Renveino initially rejected any request to be interviewed, including Steve’s. This week’s footage shows Steve’s attempt to get him to talk about the facts surround his arrest and release.

A tape that everyone thought was lost suddenly reappears, and reality is no longer what it seemed. In this episode of “The Sleep of Reason” Steve reports about the terrifying consequences drawn from newly restored footage which was taken the night of the murder as Renveino got into Claire’s room. A camera was silently filming a terrifying new side to what happened.

Her name is Margherita Del Lago. Now retired, she has been one of the most powerful mediums in history and a mentor to psychics and researchers. In this exclusive interview with Steve Bell, Mrs. Del Lago discusses about her gift and about her attempt to help Kane D’Ebano in making contact with his wife.

Margherita Del Lago is 96 years old. And she is known as one of the most powerful living mediums in the world. Retired in Rome, Mrs. Del Lago met Kane D’Ebano by chance before his wife’s murder. But a few weeks after Claire D’Ebano’s death, she was also the the first person to be contacted by Kane. He knew she could be his last chance to make contact with the woman he so much loved. In this chapter of “The Sleep of Reason” Steve Bell analyzes the facts surrounding Kane’s extreme attempt to speak to his wife again.

Prof. Premuda examines the strange case of Sara Martinez and of her dream both from a neurological and psychological perspective. How can we dream someone real without having ever met that person? And if it happens, where did that information come from? Premuda attempts to explain the phenomenon and in particular the dangers that it could bring to the sanity of the dreamer, with hints on the methods utilized to approach this kind of sleep disturbance.

Sara Martinez talks about her terrifying dream and about her attempts to convince Kane D’Ebano to help her. Steve Bell also interviews Kane D’Ebano, who talks about the conflict between his decision not to resume private practice and the awareness that he may be the key to resolving Sara’s sleep disturbance.

Who is Sara Martinez? And why is she suddenly stalking Kane D’Ebano? Approximately four weeks after the murder of Claire D’Ebano, a young woman attempts to make contact with Kane claiming he is the only person who can help her resolve a major sleep disturbance: a recurring nightmare where a mysterious man pursues her and kills her every night. In the third chapter of “The Sleep of Reason” Steve Bell examines the strange correlation between the dreams of an apparent stranger and the murder of Claire D’Ebano.

Kane D’Ebano explains nature and goals of The Claire D’Ebano Foundation, created by some of Claire’s former friends and colleagues and aimed at continuing her advanced research in the field of regressive hypnosis. Her husband seems convinced that Claire was at the eve of some major discovery in her field and dismisses recent rumors that the Foundation may be supporting more extreme research which is well beyond the intention of its founders.

Although whoever met them at the time of their University studies almost describes them as the “perfect couple”, Kane and Claire D’Ebano were virtual strangers insofar as their professional goals were concerned. While Kane looked at Jung and Freud as his inspiration, Claire was instead fascinated by lateral, sometimes extreme methodologies. Yet the diverging path taken by their studies did not prevent them from getting married and even starting their professional practice together. The question is: how much did Kane know of what his wife was doing and about the danger she was exposing herself to?

How far did Claire D’Ebano go in her alternative, sometimes extreme application of regressive hypnosis? Why was she utilizing psychoactive drugs to induce the hypnotic state and did this cause irreparable damage to her patients? Prof. Premuda comments on D’Ebano’s controversial methods and he attempts to analyze the implications that her obsession with regressive hypnosis may have had on the lives of Goran Renveino and her husband Kane.

Steve Bell continues his investigation on the mysterious murder of psychiatrist Claire D’Ebano and on the events following Renveino’s revelation, under hypnosis, that he will kill his own family. While Claire minimizes the impact of the patient’s statements, her husband Kane is increasingly concerned that on the date of the announced murder something terrible may happen.

Using the theme in Episode Zero as a starting point, Kane D’Ebano discussed recurring nightmares with Steve Bell and their impact on the waking state. D’Ebano also discussed the reasons underlying his decision to participate in Steve Bell’s documentary on his wife Claire’s murder.

Italian neurologist Prof. Vittorio Premuda discusses regressive hypnosis and its relationship with memory, time and even reincarnation. Premuda also addresses the dangers on the perception of reality which may arise from an incorrect use of this technique and how this affects the facts surrounding the case of Dr. Claire D’Ebano.

The first episode of British journalist Steve Bell’s intricate investigation in the mysterious murder of American psychiatrist Claire D’Ebano, occurred in Rome on November 16, 2006. From the very beginning of his inquiry, Mr. Bell immediately unveils some of the controversial evidence underlying what many consider to be an extreme case of criminal psychopathology. In pursuing the challenge of exposing the truth behind the crime, Mr. Bell enlists the help of neurologists, psychiatrists, forensic analysts, but also of experts in various branches of the occult.

Italian neurologist Prof. Vittorio Premuda explains to Steve Bell how the Altman Institute for sleep research was created, as well as its functions in the analysis of dreams and of sleeping states in general. The Altman Institute’s site can be reached at www.altmaninstitute.com.

Italian neurologist Prof. Vittorio Premuda discusses Episode Zero (The Nature of Nightmares) with Steve Bell from a medical perspective and he analyzes the technique described and employed by Kane D’Ebano in this episode and its potential application to defeating certain types of sleep disturbances. Premuda also attempts an interpretation of D’Ebano’s nightmare and he discusses sleeping disorders both in their physical and metaphysical significance.

This preview was aired in the event of the television premiere of “The Sleep of Reason” on Studio Universal, that aired season one in its entirety on Halloween night 2007. Only a few days earlier, “The Sleep of Reason” had premiered theatrically as a special event at the Ravenna Nightmare Film Festival, on October 30 2007.

Professor Emeritus in Neurophysiology James H. Thornton discusses his friendship with Kane and Claire D’Ebano, around whose strange emotional and professional relationship revolve the facts in “The Sleep of Reason”. Prof. Thornton had known Claire since her University years and witnessed her initial attempts at regressive hypnosis. He was also the first one to encourage her to use the utmost caution in employing such an innovative, yet inherently dangerous psychoanalytical technique. Most of Prof. Thornton’s calls to caution remained largely unattended to.

A graduate in physiology from the University of Leeds, Steve Bell is a scientific journalist whose interest in alternative medicine and hypnotic regression has recently brought him in contact with the facts surrounding the unorthodox medical practice of Dr. Claire D’Ebano. Steve introduces himself and explains how he has been trying to make sense of certain strange occurrences by collecting them in the form of video diaries.

A long interview with Dr. Kane D’Ebano, months before his wife’s murder. What are dreams? Are they hallucinations induced by neurological operation inside our mind with the goal of processing certain emotional states? Or are they a completely parallel layer of existence whose only difference from the waking state is that their source of audio-visual information resides inside us? Only one thing is certain: some dreams are so vivid, articulate and violent that we often find it hard to believe that such powerful, often disorienting visions could come from a mind we believed to be our own.
