promenyI finished the book yesterday, at over 48,000 words. I was planning to write about 50,000, but it got to the point where I really couldn't write anything more. Either way, it is a tremendous accomplishment, and it is proof that I can actually do something with my time. I'm not just sitting around, playing video games and getting high; I'm creating works of art.
Last night, I couldn't fall asleep for a while, so I practiced a breathing exercise to help me go back to sleep. As it turned out, I was able to enter into a deeper dimension, and I had closed-eye visuals. I was remotely exploring my surroundings and the dream world while fully aware that I was curled on my bed without moving. I think that the key is to focus on what you are seeing when your eyes are closed, but to try to see the darkness with three dimensional depth, rather than just a flat screen.
This wasn't the first time something like this has happened, but it was the first time that it happened so strongly, and in such a controlled fashion. It always happens when I've been awake for hours and then try to go back to sleep. I really think that I'm doing astral projection or something, and am visiting a different reality. And now I have a method for doing it, meaning that I could practice it while awake, and trying to meditate.
It actually reminded me a bit of the dissociation and deep focus of DXM, except I didn't see any entities this time. To be honest, I'm kind of glad that I can now experience such things without drugs; what I experienced last night was actually in many ways superior to my various drug-induced trips, to be honest.
