Original plan was to start Stage 2 today but I have decided to postpone Stage 2 to tonight.
I started Stage 1 on August 1st. Today was effectively my 32nd day of listening. I was planning to make small shortcut and change program stages with the changing months for the sake of simplifying time management. The original thinking was: What is the difference between 32,31 or 30 days... Pretty much the same...
But then Thor did ask how bad it was to have done only 31 days before jumping to SM stage 2. He sounded really concerned about that... The most strange thing is the timing of his question exactly as I was about to consciously skip 1 day... I took that as a sign and decided to stick to the instructions...
Maybe there are good reasons to be exactly 32 days.... For one, it is harder to keep track and it force you to make some conscious effort to follow the program instruction. Maybe simply this commitment and this small active action contributes to the result...
So yesterday, I did set the various stage transition days in my google calendar. I did set notifications and I'll strictly follow the 32 days per stage instruction... The end result is adding roughly a week overall to the whole program length... It will finish February 9 instead of completing it January 31st as I initially wanted to run it... No big deal to comply...
And I can report that after about a week without dreams. I got an interesting one yesterday, my last stage 1 dream... I was playing in an aquatic park. Some wave pools with extremely powerful waves. The waves were literally throwing me in the air. That was really fun.
Then the dream has moved to Las Vegas. I don't remember exactly why but I was under arrest and I started to negotiate with the cops so that they let me do some errands and fun stuff before bringing me with them. They have accepted to let me go so that I can continue doing my stuff and we agreed that I would come back where we were when I am done and I have left them.
I understand that part of the dream as testing authority and simply ignore it. (or I did watch Deadpool 2 right before going to bed... maybe the movie tainted the dream theme... ;-P)
OTOH, notice that in the context of following the program instruction, I am doing the opposite... that is listening to the program authority instructions... this is weird....
