thanks guys! i will check out those tutorials! sounds great. i love my kindle, it will hold over 3000 mb of books and/or mp3s. i don't do well with audio books so i figure i could use it for some brainwave and meditative stuff. Speaking of recall, which is difficult for me but getting better.....a long time ago i took some lucid dream 'course' on the internet. I got daily emails full of techniques and stuff. One of the techniques for recall was upon awakening and you realize you've just had a dream and it's slipping away fast to lay there completely still, don't do anything physical, including speaking and inside your mind only say some words over and over. I can't remember what the words were though It was something in the OHM or AHM family....like RO Ahm, Go Ahm. it was incredibly effective, my mind would flood with memory and recall of my dream and you'd think that i would remember what it is. but alas, real life things that are good for you and you 'ought' to be doing slip out of consciousness just like a dream too.
Thanks again for the nice welcomes! hope to post some successes soon!
