Thread: OPEN BETA - Open beta TWOTLD - Day 2

There could be so many other factors that make them so successful, for example:

+ they're naturally light, near-consciousness sleepers that can stay the entire night in that "late morning" near-waking state
+ they have naturally very active neurotransmitters (or a deficit of cholinesterase, thus like being on a permanent galantamine "high") and easier access to memory in the dream state.

There's not much one can do if one lacks those other than supplements, and do tons of WBTBs . And unbending will and motivation perhaps .

And maybe the reason the "permanently aware" naturals (from necessity due to childhood nightmares) who always need to evaluate if they're in a safe place are that way because their nightmares were SO REAL and terrifying to them precisely because of this brain chemistry and naturally aware light sleeping.

I'm of course hoping that getting at least really really close to the outliers is a possible thing for us mere mortals (and aging ones at that).

I doubt that they are "super humans" My guess is that they are ones that believed that there was no difference between them and those that LD all night every night, and did not fear flying close to the sun.

Give me my 10,000,000,000 SPF and I'll be right there with them!
