dreamworld

The subliminal CDs said not to listen for more than 30-60 mins to some of them, or you would feel lightheaded since your brain waves are altered. Since I thought it might be a bunch of baloney that didn't work, I listened for hours while doing homework. It's easier to listen to than regular music since there are no words, just ocean waves or weird New Age-y floaty music. So after hours of that, I started to feel extremely disassociated, like I was aware that I was not only my body. It really freaked me out. Maybe it was my ego that was freaked out, I don't know. But I need to heed the warnings! I still feel a bit of that disassociation today, but am listening in lowered, reasonable amounts today. Slow progress is important so you don't go backwards--I felt for a bit, when I was almost panicking, that I should abandon everything I'm doing to grow and go back to normal life, preferable as a atheist, so everything would seem controlled and manageable. But that life is miserable, so I didn't :)

There is also one I listen to when I am falling asleep (that is okay to listen to all night) and it gives me beautiful dreams where I am gliding, and who knows what else. Maybe go into other dimensions? I can't remember. All these years I have had such stressful dreams, they were more like real life, except with ridiculous problems that don't make sense in the real world. I am so grateful that this is finally changing, I sleep so much better now.

You don't like those feelings of dissociation? I get them on occassion, but I find comfort in them. They remind me that I am a soul existing apart from my body and ego.

What are those CDs you are listening to? I would love to try them. I need something to relax me more on those weekday nights.

The dissociation is probably a good thing, but it makes my rational mind feel like it's not in control, so it's kinda scary. But I agree that it is probably a good thing...I'm sure in time I will be more open to letting go and experiencing it.

The CDs Brain Sync, with Kelly Howell--there are tons of different ones. Esctacy, releasing guilt, relaxation, sacred ground, etc. If you google or search bittorrent sites, it should be pretty easy to find. There are other creators of subliminal CDs, too.

And on amazon you can see some reviews. I didn't buy from there though, because I wanted mp3s, not CDs.
