      Reading 1 million words per minute in a LD

      I found something interesting that i was wondering about, i havent had a lucid dream yet but when i do i would like to experment with this. Would this really be possible and has anyone tryed it? If so the information you would proccess in the dream would it be very clear when you wake up?


      " To reach speeds as high as 1 million words per minute a computer program that can show 30 frames each second with 550 words must be developed. Such plans are in place, but no programming has been started yet (If anyone wants to assist in this, please let me know). A video camera and a TV might also produce such high speeds. But a computer program might show E-texts and maybe also allow searching for desired information on the web. This technique works by using the power of your subconscious. Your subconscious has the ability to process enormous amount of information. Until the computer program is developed you can use a little variation. And that is using normal books. Since it takes some time turning each page of the book does the speed drop to about 25,000-50,000 wpm. Before sending the pages in the book for processing to your subconscious you should enter a trance state, preferably the theta state. Turning the pages of the book will make it difficult to keep that state. But it can be done with practice. (The computer program will include flashing screen and binaural beats to put you down in the desired state before sending the pages to your subconscious). To send the most of the information in the book to your subconscious you can't have a hard focus on the book or screen. If you are reading a book you should place your focus some place behind the book. This will be a lot easier with a computer program. Because it will include stereograms in the background that you may try to focus on. (Stereograms are pictures where you have to diverge to see the 3D-picture.) Before starting the reading should you give yourself appropriate affirmations. You will have no recall of what you just read once you are finished. At least not at first. This is where Lucid Dreaming comes into the picture. While Lucid Dreaming you have access to all the information that your subconscious has stored throughout history. But the beauty with Lucid Dreaming is that you can let your subconscious process the information for you. You might imagine meeting the author of the book you read around the corner. Once you meet him can you start asking all the questions you were seeking answer for in the book. And your subconscious will provide the right answers. Even where in the book you will find that answer. If you read a novel can you sit down in the most comfortable chair you can think of, imagine a big screen TV with 3D-cinema sound. Then you might start watching the novel while eating popcorn. But this should be done in the weekend when you can sleep for about 12 hours. The 4 last hours will almost be a continual long REM. Great for watching movies. "

      Crazy sh*t always happens in dreams. I'm open to this being possible, although I don't know any second-hand records of it happening. It's similar to the photoreading concept. They have a product, but I'll shut up before I run the risk of looking like I'm advertising their expensive bundles.

      I don't believe that. Subconscious is not that much of a "superpower" as the author might wish. And there's too much other nonsense on the page, just look at "2.21. How can I use Dreams to affect physical matter?" and others...
      That would be too easy.

      Most people have problems reading anything in a Dream. The Words wiggle around and don't stay fixed. Besides, dream recall is typically so hazy that it would be meaningless for somebody to claim to have read 1,000,000 words a minute if he had only the haziest of recollections as to what the book was about.

      I am reminded if those old speed reading courses that used to be so popular, and maybe they still are. They would rig the tests. Going in, the questions would be detailed and intricate, which would provide quite a challenge. But after the completion of the course the questions would be obvious and simple. The intention of the ploy was to provide the illusion of progress and growth.

      besides, much of the enjoyment is wrung out of fine literature if it is read too quickly. One needs to savor the cadence and the quality of the words. One can hardly do that at a glance.

      Yeah, Leo's right. It's usually difficult to read in a dream.
      Strangely, I can do it quite well, but it's still quite slow. Speed reading is certainly not an option.

      Leo: About speed reading, yeah, I agree most of the way. Although it is possible to increase your reading speed substantially without having to cheat, much of it is exagerated.
      One can SCAN a page pretty fast though .. but you dramatically lose out on the fine details, as you say.

      I think what the author was getting at was not reading it, but pulling that information from ur Subconscious to your conscious, In theroy your subconscious has huge amounts of information from our hole lives but we just cant access it. I think hes getting at just unlocking that informtion for our consciousness.

      I also dont think the subconscious is some kind of " Superpower " so i dont really think it would work, but a interesting theroy at lest.
