Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Dear Shannon,

I have been using the new USLM for about 2 months now. So far, I only notice that I have vivid dreams every day, often several times a night. At the beginning I had a few nightmares, but now they are just normal dreams. I also did not have vivid dreams every day in the beginning, now it is every day.

All in all, interesting to notice what the subliminal is doing, but I am not seeing much actual results.

What do you think about resistance in my case? Should I continue as before, or change usage or something like that?

Thanks.

Given the results you see, it seems reasonable to me that you're probably dealing with the FRM working you through some sort of fears that have been slowing things down.  I suggest you keep going for a while longer and see if anything changes.

Now you don't say how you're using it, what format, what player, what volume, etc.  If you get more specific I can be more specific with suggestions.  Unfortunately, I can't remember what everyone's usage patterns are even if you tell me, so if you think that might be a part of the issue, share that with me and I'll see if I can find something further to suggest.

Dear Shannon,

I have been using it according to instructions for the past month. Format: hybrid track on my laptop while I sleep. It's not at a high volume since I need to sleep... but it is loud enough to hear the ocean sound very clearly.

Earlier you suggested taking longer breaks than the one day for every five as prescribed, since I have more dreams during breaks, but I did that a couple of times with no change in results. I switched back to the default instructions and now I have dreams everyday regardless of whether I use USLM that night or not.

I could add that previous subliminal usage (such as previous USLM) also led to vivid dreams but they fade away after a few weeks. For the new USLM it has been like this for 2 months, which I guess is better. But that's all the effects I can see for now.

The only thing I can suggest in that case is to give it more time.
