Lesson from last night. Use the old school corded earbuds with my IPOD to run this. Stick it in your pocket, stick the buds in your ears, and don’t mess with it. I was using the air buds, and they worked fine until they died about five hours into my run. I also disrupted it when I tried to pair it with another device with Bluetooth. That’s two disruptions. Tonight, none so far.
I am able to use the hybrid trickling stream track, and still be aware enough of my surroundings to do my job well. In fact, it seems to keep me more alert and less distractable than usual. I am not spending so much time dinking around on YouTube and whatnot to kill boredom.
Today I felt pretty calm and mellow. Nothing major happened, and there was no repeat of the half awake dreaming from yesterday. I am peripherialy aware that there is kind of something running in the background of my mind, but I’m not sure exactly what it is.
I was thinking about my waking dream from yesterday. I am going to attribute it to the new sub even though it happened a few hours before I started it. (What do you guys call that effect again?) If that can happen, I can indeed mess with my past on some level and have some kind of effect on my present and future. I don’t know how that works, but I do know that time isn’t quite as linear as it seems, and the past isn’t as immutable as most people think. Now, do I think that this is going to literally change what physically happened back then, and I’m going to wake up tomorrow as a millionaire Harvord educated attorney? No. But I do think that I can change some aspect of my life by eh, call it reliving certain key moments in my past and making better choices. I think that moment I went back to was the one where I really said “Screw this school nonesense”. And it really seemed like I was there, while simultaneously being well aware that I was somewhere else. Weird. There are many more moments I will have to visit if this thing is doing what I siluspect that it is. Don’t know if I will be aware of it. I very rarely remember a dream, but I think I have some insight into what’s running in the background now.
One piece of luck today. I was thinking that I needed some of the old corded earbuds, knew that I had had several pairs at some point, but no idea where they’d have gotten to. Right after I asked my wife, I looked down and there one of them was. Small thing, but right there when I wanted it.
