OSC - Interregnum - ReconGunner - 03-16-2025
It's been two weeks since the "official" end of my first run of OPH v2. Overall, I got mixed results, as documented in my journal.
Now, I have to make the decision I've been putting off. I am committed to a second run of OPH, but I have a recommendation to give OSC a shot before that second run, to see if OSC, especially since it is 6G, can build on the internal work that OPH was doing toward the end of the run and hopefully clear enough things that the second run of OPH can work exclusively on physical healing.
As the title of this journal makes clear, I'm taking that recommendation and acting on it. Tonight will be my first night listening to OSC. Since this one has no ASRB2 instructions, I plan to journal at least once a week to keep myself in that habit. Of course, if there's something noteworthy that I want to make sure I don't forget, I'll journal more often.
Let's give 6G a ride.

Day 1
And here we go...
1. Another "closure" dream. This one was very specific - it was career related. The occasional series of dreams was about me returning to a former employer on a "whenever you're available" basis. In this dream, I let them know I wouldn't be returning.
2. A mild acid reflux incident. Granted, I had a late snack before bed. But that's not a 100% guarantee of an acid event otherwise.
Both of the above took place after the loop had finished.

I'm still wrapping my mind around "Only ONE loop - 20-mins a day"
I'm still wrapping my mind around OSC 6G is FREE!!
It's such a pleasure to get the loop finished/done and get on with your day!!
Welcome to 6G!!

But wait... there's more.
OSC will get even better.

Day 2:
It already has.
Normal dreams. No acid incident. Let's see what's next.
RE: OSC - Interregnum - ReconGunner - 03-23-2025
Week 1
Another mild acid incident overnight, later this week. Other than that, no issues.
Some conscious stuff. This may take some explaining to set the context.
When I went back to work last fall after looking for over half the year, I took a step back in role, a 10% pay cut and gave up PTO to get my current contract. It's 12 months with no "to-hire" stated up front.
Over the last few months, the company I'm placed with has mentioned a couple of times about shifting their workforce from the current mix of contractors and employees to a mix that is more employees and less contractors. Then, just this week, the guy I report up to let the whole team know that they are bringing on managed services at our level of the org to supplement the team and take over the grunt work. At the end of that meeting he specifically called out myself and the other two contractors on our site and said "you guys don't have anything to worry about; you're still going to be on the team."
Also this week, I had a realization that my current position is not asking for my best. Normally that would have been a resentful statement. This time, it's a... wait for it... confident statement. I absolutely have better to offer any employer in my field; I was delivering that in my previous role.
I'm feeling very positive about the above. And even if the current company doesn't decide to offer me a permanent role, and despite my age*, I'll find a place where I can deliver the best I have to offer; with better pay, PTO, etc.
*I'm not too far from retirement age. My retirement financial prep is way behind, so I anticipate working as long as I need to and am able. Of course, an ILM 6G money product will definitely be of benefit on that score.

Week 2
In the books. Noteworthy events:
1. I set my phone to run OSC about an hour or so after I normally go to bed. I found myself not falling asleep completely and deeply until after the time that OSC was scheduled to be finished. So halfway through the week I moved the start time to later in the night. The first night of the new schedule, I had a mild acid event that woke me up about 10 minutes before OSC was scheduled to start. After that night, no such issues.
2. Last night I had a very strange dream. In the middle of all the strangeness was a familiar theme - having to pack my belongings for travel. In this dream, however, I was completely successful in doing so.
No idea how to interpret any of that, other than my subconscious is definitely responding to OSC. And a lot quicker than I recall any response from pervious, lower tech titles.

Week 3
Sleep remains inconsistent. Some nights, deep. Other nights, restless.
Mid week, I had a rough night of sleep and woke up feeling as if I was about to be sick - flu-like symptoms. By the end of the day the symptoms had passed.

Interesting dream last night - a hybrid of themes:
1. Alternate senior year of high school
2. Finding my stuff
Neither of which fit together in the context of the dream. The most interesting part of the dream was that I decide to stand up for myself in response to an unsatisfying set of events in the context of the dream. I've never been that proactive in any of the recurring dreams before.

Are you describing lucid dreaming?
I'm curious how OSC has affected your interactions with people.

From what little I know of lucid dreaming, no. Simply that my behavior within the recurring dreams has never been that proactive.
I've become a little more thoughtfully outspoken in the few social situations I typically experience. And on the thoughtful side, I've found myself not speaking up - not from fear or hesitation, but from "it's OK if I don't jump in here" and letting the people around me have their conversations. An improving sense of balance rather than the extremes of "say nothing" and "dominate the conversation". Still a work in progress, though - building new habits on a stronger foundation, perhaps.

Week 4
Sleep has been better. And today I had another strong feeling of optimism - not situational, but general.
I've known for a while that a key area I need to reconcile is my senior year of high school. Until then, my life was on a good path in the direction I wanted to go. That year, the wheels fell off, and I spent the next dozen years trying and failing to get things back on that track. From the ashes of that, I made a second attempt to set my life in a good, but different, direction. That one was blocked outright; I had to fall back on professional skills I developed along the way to get to where I am today.
My entire purpose in using IMLs products has been to use them to assist myself in finding the best way forward, including making up for some lost opportunities both physically and financially, and to strengthen and improve key personal relationships. I'm still trying to figure out what that that way forward can look like - what will I find satisfying and sufficiently rewarding, financially and otherwise. But I'm still working out fundamentals, and dealing with physical issues along the way.
