I've been having trouble the past 4 days. I will wake in the middle of the night and stay awake for around 30 minutes which really disrupts my REM schedule. Do you have any techniques or suggestions that might remedy this? Getting groggier and groggier every day.

Sleep is a tricky beast with so many variables to keep track of rather it be what you do during the day or how you prepare just before going to bed. 

Was there anything happening that caused you to wake up?  Were you awoken because you had to go to the restroom?  Did you have naps earlier in the day?  Did some noise wake you up or was there someone next to you that caused you to wake?

30 minutes is a long time to break your sleep cycle but the important thing is that you are getting back to sleep at least an hour or so before you wake up for the day because at least then you are getting some of the best quality sleep which is always at the end of your sleep cycle.

Grogginess is why I stopped attempting lucid dreaming.  I may try lucid dreaming again as a novelty but only on days when I don't have to work or do anything important the next day... which isn't very often lately. 

If you want to try a sleep supplement, I highly recommend "liquid melatonin" and just a touch of it.  I buy a nose-spray bottle called "snoot" on amazon and the "sleep soundly" liquid melatonin.  Just one spray into my mouth (NOT the nose.. burns too much lol)  and I'm gently nudged into a long night of sleep with no grogginess in the morning.  Works perfectly for me.

I also use ear plugs because I'm a very light sleeper.  I can totally feel the difference in depth of sleep when I use ear plugs.  Oh, and I keep my room as dark as possible.  I used to be terrified of very dark places but now that I see the difference in sleep... I just have to have a very dark room.  Oh, but I can't stand to have the eye covers on me... and occasionally the feeling of the ear plugs even bother me so sometimes I end up taking them off during the night.

How Ads Help Youtubers and Bloggers

A lot of people know this already, but there are also a lot of people who do not know this. Those ads that pop up in the Youtube videos you watch and on the blogs you read, they are not random. They are there to help the person who made the video or blog. When you make a video or blog, and allow adsense to put ads on it, you earn a few pennies every time someone clicks on the ads.

I think when someone watches an add all the way through you also get a small amount, but the main amount is for clicks I know that.

So if you want to help your favorite youtubers and bloggers, don't ignore those ads all the time. Click one every once in a while.

And if YOU want to start having videos with ads, you just need a Youtube channel with a few hundred views and you can join the partner program.

I tried lucid dreaming with an app on my phone and it worked the very first night I used it.  After that it was a little more difficult and I found myself very tired the next day so I stopped my experiments.  It was fun to see it work and I would still highly recommend looking into it if you're interested.  I may still try it again in the future but for now I'm happy with a good night of sleep.

What app?

I don't even remember now.  Just go to google play and there are numerous lucid dreaming apps.  Also, binaural beats can be pretty interesting.  

After my lucid dream experiments I realized that I actually had real trouble getting good nights of sleep.  It was really random but at least twice a week I'd be a zombie at work because of crap sleep.  Now, I've discovered liquid melatonin and my sleep is much more consistent.  I get the liquid and put it in a nose sprayer but I don't spray it in my nose.  Just one spray in my mouth is enough for me to be nudged into a good sleep.  Two sprays is probably okay but I fear the groggy feeling.  As long as I get in bed at a decent hour and use the liquid melatonin I'm good.  Oh and the sprayer massively cuts the recommended dosage in my case.  The dosage recommended is totallly ridiculous: like 1.5 dropper full?  forget that, I'd be asleep until noon.  The sprayer cuts it down to like 1/10 of a a dropper full.  It's great.

Sorry... Lol went way off topic but maybe someone else has difficulty sleeping too.  Can't say how awesome it has been finally getting good sleep.  

Hey, maybe I'll start posting my dreams here :-)

Joe Rogan just said some quotable shit:

"We do not live in a black and white world where things are easy to solve"- Joe Rogan

life is unfair :-(

But, there are still ancient (from Egypt to George Washington to today) things that are part of the court system and part of what we do. Even if the politicians don't recognize it. For example, the Mayor and Governor in the Ferguson protests actually broke the law and could be sued for their jobs if someone there would do some research. There are supreme court cases that ruled that "No one should make Peace statutes to stop riots, because it will start riots". So really Ferguson happened because no one is looking at old cases and lawyers will only do it for money.

I am only 22, so I didn't know exactly who Joe Perry was, I have heard Aerosmith songs and seen them on the ride at Disney in Florida when I was like 8 or something, but he just made an AWESOME point that hardly anyone makes. Cenk gets really close when he talks about money in politics, but Joe Perry just pointed out that Washington DC was like the Vatican of America.

If people are just going to randomly say what gun violence is caused by, I will show you the link I see.

People NOT getting heard. People that think they are "Libertarian" and "They are the only sober one but no one will let them drive" then there are no debates for these ideas to get heard in. I am not libertarian, but I am from Texas and I can see what is happening.

These people are not being heard, whether it be a Muslim extremist on facebook, or a random kid in New Mexico thinking they are "starting the revolution" by shooting up wal mart. They are people that say "I am the only sober one and no one will let me drive" they want to be in control, not just free, but in control.

How can one person say "the world is not black and white" then 10 minutes later say "Gun violence comes from SSRIs"

I think Joe thinks that laws can only be made by the Government arbitrarily via Bill submission.

We can make laws ourselves.

And just btw. I don't know if Joe knows this, but most of the people you are talking about having guns, are also the people smoking weed. They are the same people.

LOL

Joe Rogan is kinda like a little kid sometimes. He says "I never tried coke because I saw it mess up people's lives" does he not know he is friends with Joey "Coco" Diaz? He still knows and hangs out with people who do it LOL.

When I was in highschool people were selling it to each other, and I saw kids shooting up meth. That is why I stayed away from uppers. It had nothing to do with people ruining their lives, I just would rather smoke weed or eat mushrooms or peyote. I don't want to stick needles in me.

Someone Should Debate Anthony Cumia and Tommy Sotomayor

I don't know if anyone else saw this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh4dK09AWCQ

These just so happen to be 2 people that I think should get in to some debates, and from what they said it sounds like they want to.

Tommy sometimes makes points, how there are people out there who don't think about what they are doing outside of the small bubble they grew up in. But sometimes he does get a little crazy talking about "Black Women" as a whole, but that is just a man sharing his personal experience on the internet in 2014. He should be allowed to say whatever he wants, but someone should debate him. Because there IS middle ground here. Tommy thinks he is right because he has points, so someone should challenge those. I don't mean to get into the business of the Black Community, but I feel like that could be a step towards building something. Marcus Garvey didn't always talk so nicely about his people, and he had love for them. Maybe people should give Tommy a chance to share his ideas with someone elses community. There are always people calling him a "Coon", why not get on a stage with him somewhere and figure some stuff out.

And I have thought it was a complete WASTE since the beginning for Anthony Cumia to not be on a stage debating. If anyone has ever heard of Malcolm X, he was talking about racial inequality and causing problems in public, so they had him debate on race relations. Anthony Cumia did the exact OPPOSITE. He went out in Public and sparked some stuff, then went to his own corner to hide and never came out to finish the actual flames from the sparks, But it is very possibly that Anthony Cumia doesn't have the ability to think past his gun and his wallet when it comes to Human Relations.

Designer Drugs & Designer Smells

Currently, the perfume world is still kind of in the Middle Ages. They make "Concrete" or hash from the plant material, then they make Absolute. And this is a good process, this is how they purify things for medical use as well. If you wanted to make it even purer (like Walter White perfume) you could Isomerize it or do some Chromographic methods to get specific alkaloids or whatever you wanted.

But this is would be arbitrary, and would only bring perfume into the modern medical grade.

The way Perfume can be brought in to the FUTURE would be to make "Designer Smells" and not in the way they make smells today by mixing different absolutes, but to make NEW smells.

Here is how that would work, you could add Amino Acids to the smells, along with Baking Soda or Calcium Hydroxide. And that is just the beginning, there are ALL KINDS of different things that can be done, for example, tons of smells could be "methylated" by using methanol and an activator.

And I invented a new Smell already, but I do not have the materials to make any new smells yet. This molecule opens up the way for TONS of new Molecules. The main molecule that is in the smell of Roses is "b-Damascone", and when I was younger I heard that Anna Nicole Smith died from some drug that was like in between Xanax and Alcohol, a old school "Barbiturate" that bikers and stuff used to take. I have always been in to chemistry so I learned how it was made and it was simple, you just add Acetone and Chloroform together in the presence of Lye, and Chlorobutanol is made. This is what Anna Nicole Smith died from because she was eating it or drinking it.

But anyways. The Damascoen cane replace the Acetone, it is the same class of molecule, and then in the presence of Chloroform and Lye it would become a BRAND NEW MOLECULE with 3 open Chloride structures, which leaves the way for TONS of new things to be added.

This is only one molecule, I could make at least 10-30 new structures with Damascone if not more, and then with all the other smells I could make THOUSANDS of new smells. And so could anyone else.

Also maybe helpful for people too.

There are Synthetic Cannabinoids and people like Sasha Shulgin who invented TONS of Phenethylamines and Tryptamines (read the books Pihkal and Tihkal) that are 100% legal to buy, sell, trade and give away. You just can't sell or give it to someone and say "This can get you high", that is illegal.

There is the Church of Neuroscience in Louisiana and they can ship MXE (ketamine relative) and Etizolam (Xanax relative) around the country to regular people, and The Temple of Light in New York uses DPT which is a relative to DMT. So some of those things are already being used as a spiritual guide legally already.

Just wanted to point this stuff out.

sorry, I am just thinking of all kinds of random stuff now. Please skip if you don't want to read. Dreaming Journal will be back sometime between 2 and 4 weeks.

When I was 16 I got out of Juvy and my probation officer really didn't like me because I told him I was hanging out with people eating skittles, and he seemed to think that that was code for something, but we usually just ate skittles and stuff. Not with like cough syrup, just skittles. And he got the judge to make me go to a psychologist, and the psychologist suggested that I was not being challenged in highschool and that that was why I ran away (but I ran away because I was on probation and wasn't allowed to smoke, and it was my religion, which I told my probation officer all the time and all the way to the cell, but I had some SHIT Public Lawyers).

But anyways, they put me in college at 16, and I found someone else to give me a ride so I could run away again. And they put me in juvy again. This was 1 year before I became a registered minister, so all I had was the Rig Veda to prove my faith then. But the continued to arrest me until I moved to Colorado.

Just thought I would share that semi-funny story. But since this happened I have done tons more legal research as well as medical research based on my religion. So if anyone needs help with their religious defense in America, let us know, I am not suggesting anyone outside of our Ministry do it because I don't know your doctrine or when it started if it is not Kemetic or Hindu or any Ancient to modern Polytheism established before 1975.

And if anyone is wondering why I was in Juvy, I would remind you of my religion and the fact that I grew up in Texas.

Random. I just was talking about juvy in that last post, and it made me think of how I saw Obama get elected the first time while I was in juvy and it was like my 16th birthday or something like that. My birthday just so happens to be the SAME day we get a new president, January 20th. What is everyone else's. Random I know, just wondering.

Another random thing,

She said that there are parents out there that don't hug their kids and stuff and the kids produce less oxytocin. I have posted about this before, NO ON OUT THERE is testing oxytocin levels. EVERYONE should make sure they have Oxytocin on the regular, in case your family has less than regular people. And it's just good to have extra in your brain.
