EJ, which cd have you listened to?
Because you have to start from the beginning and so on.
And did you read the manual? I don't think so if it was a mp3.
499$ for 18cd's. That's the exact price per cd here where i live if i go and buy myself the new Green Day cd or whatever.
And i would never try to make my own hemi-sync because experimenting with which frequencies works best would take me years. Oh, how expensive would that get?

And one more thing to make this clear, The Gateway Experience serie isn't about lucid dreaming. It's about entering new states of awareness and getting to know oneself better.
