Days Two-Three

Mhhhh, tonight happened what I was afraid of.... I was trying to find a possible way to avoid the 10:45 nap, so that I could just stay at school until lunch. I read that if you do a core sleep it's not really useful of effective, because it's the same concept again, you will get used to sleep a lot and stay wake for too long. Instead, the right idea was to transform my 30 minutes nap at night into a complete 90 minutes phase, which is good. The problem I encountered tonight was that I woke up 6 hours later instated of 1 ½.

Damn it.
But I will not let a minor incident like this one to ruin my Uberman schedule, not at least the time has come. I received an LINK email from Steve Pavlina, who was wishing me good luck, telling me that days 2-8 (counting from zero, these are the third and the ninth) would be the most difficult to get through, and after that it should be fine.

I just had an incredible experience. During my 23:00 nap I managed to have my body very relaxed, except for my heart, which was pulsing vehemently as usual. At about ten minutes after I laid down I felt my body very heavy, becoming one with the bed and I had my mind clear and receptive. It was like I had two different entities, my mind and my body, just like Descartes said.

I was having was it's called a lucid dream, your mind has complete control of your body and you can emulate any sensation or situation just by wanting it. I was aware of the fact that I was in my bed, and that I was not moving a single muscle of my body (beside the ones for breathing), and yet I could imagine to move my hand and feel like it was real, wanting to torn my face the other way, and eyes closed completely still feel as I was living it. yet I knew it wasn't. I know I wasn't sleeping because I heard my roommates talking, and what I heard matched what they said.

This was pretty cool also because I was sure since the beginning that I could achieve incredible results if I wanted to, this whole story of polyphasic sleeping is helping me develop inside me that more spiritual part. I am confident that the mind has enormous capabilities, more than we can imagine.

I'm using this experiment also as an excuse in order to explore what I can and cannot do with my mind. The developments can be very interesting, I'm starting to get my head around the subliminal music, anything that will expand my perceptions and mental capabilities, like realing techniques et similia.

Food.
Water Water Water. Drink plenty of water, Normally an adult man should drink 3 liters, possibly not during the meals. I noticed that the majority of people drink about 1 liter or a bit more, particularly during the meals. Just the opposite. I'm trying to drink the right amount diluted in day and night, with the support of juices, as usual.

End results for Days 2-3. (levels from 1 to 10).
Physical vigor: 8
I feeel great. There is just one thing that worries me a bit, it's about my heart. When I go to sleep I feel it pusling strongly, but maybe it's jest my impression, since my body has almost no functions at that moment. Plus, I use LINK diaphragmatic respiration, and also I am healthy, young, slim and I never had any heart-related problem.
