Caution before starting?
Hi, so I want to listen to the tapes, and I’ve done a bit of reading on it, but I have a history of childhood maladaptive daydreaming, lucid dreams, bad sleep paralysis episodes and the lot. Not sure I’d qualify for a ‘shifting’ experience, but I do often have very vivid dreams. I’m 15 and I’ve got OCD, which seems semi-important to add…because I am terrified to death to actually listen to the tapes. It’s stupid, but I have had my fair share of incredibly vivid experiences of sorts (specifically REALISTIC auditory hallucinations/head about to explode from pressure kinda thing?)…and I’ve read of people ‘just testing’ the audio and immediately falling into a trance. I’m afraid that it might awaken something in me. You may just say: don’t do it then. And, well, yeah. But I know eventually my curiosity will lead me back here. Is anybody else the same as me? Is there any advice or cautionary tales?
