Thank you, Angela! *Grin*

We may already be feeling the effects of Steve's recoding - today a repairman came out to check my brother's minifridge out, which had been throwing the earth leakage. While he was here he spotted our old fridge, which had stopped working several months ago, and offered to check it out for us for free. We've been using a smaller fridge ever since for food and it's very cramped, because we haven't been able to afford a new one.

But good news! The repairman said that if the fridge stays turned on for a couple of days without breaking (just to ensure that the several months of being off hasn't made it deteriorate), he could put in a new part for $150AUD and get it fixed - which saves us over a thousand dollars of the price of getting a new fridge of the same size!

This post and challenge are truly amazing ~~

And on another note.... I'm elated that my novel has been published and I've received a huge advance on a second manuscript. I'm free to embrace my wanderlust and travel the world with the people I love. I'm seeing everything I always wanted, spending freely since I'm so financially abundant, and in turn giving even more freely, and am so filled to the brim with love and joy that its almost unbelievable. My happiness and energy are palpable, and they bring more happiness and more energy to the surface in others. I have all the time in the world and and open mind and the ability to spend my days doing exactly as I please. ahhhh bliss =)

Default Dream Come True

4 Years ago, broke and lost, I stumbled upon a dream character named Steve while searching for "lemon detox diet". Not only did i find the recipe for that diet but i also found a recipe for life. The ingredients? Podcast # 16, the True Nature of Reality! I'm computer science major and don't usually go for belief systems that are illogical... I got arrested for stealing... I was broke... I was lost... And then.... I realized that I am you. After 26 years of painfully searching, I have found myself by finding you in me! Now? I own my own business, I drive a nice car, I never think about bills and can afford anything I want. I have an abundance of love and compassion. I teach and care for those who are next to me and never hesitate to sacrifice for you. I truly do live in a dream and its all because of you. Thanks!

Your first novel was AMAZING! The way that you wove things together, I very literally couldn't put it down for 2 days! Sleep seemed as unimportant as eating when it came to figuring out what would happen next. To hear that you're going to be writing a second . . . Sign me up! I'll probably have to camp out in front of my bookstore for a couple days to make sure I get my copy, but it'll be worth it!

Funny everyone mentioning The Matrix being on TV lately... cause, guess what was on the TV when I walked through the living room yesterday!

And funny side note... a while back me and some classmates had to do a 'scene recreation' from a film. We did the scene from The Matrix where Neo first meets Morpheus, and that's where I'm standing in my current profile picture.

SQUEE, you mean there's more coming? That's fantastic! I loved your book to pieces - it's really hard for me to be absorbed in a book, but I couldn't put yours down at all. I'm really excited that there's going to be a second!

hello,
I'm ok with the experiment of the dream world. I'm going right now to consider myself and others "dream caracters" as if they had already achieved their objectives and projects.
we're going to see what happened

It's great to read about the successes enjoyed by others on this thread. I feel that I am at the beginning of the process to make profound changes in my life situation. Steve's blogs of late provide insight as to how the process works, for him. At this point I am like a surfer looking for the wave to paddle out to catch. Perhaps I am being too picky about the wave and should just take the next one and see what happens.

An alternative the the Truth-Love-Power paradigm? I'll definitely do it 'til September. I'll be making so much money by October that there's no doubt I'm coming to the CGW. In fact I haven't even bothered paying attention to the registration deadlines because I don't care if the ticket costs an extra one or two hundred dollars, or whatever the increase is.

Party in the Bellagio!

The plane trip to San Fran was smooth! I slept like a baby on the way over.

My host and I get along so well we're extending my visit! We get on like a house on fire - I'm really grateful I am capable of opening up to people, being my true self and feeling at ease about it. People have been loving it! I'll be coming back to stay at my host's again for a few days in November, too!

Right now I'm just tapping away at my laptop. My writing has really been flowing lately - it's never been so fun in my life!

Default Wow Steve ...

Wow Steve your looking incredible that invigorating new exercising is really paying dividends man you look amazing, who’d have though so much advancement could happen so fast, your virtually beaming with an abundant healthy energy, I’m inspired, oh boy I’m upping my training again, just got to get me even more great energy choo choo!

And to think I could hear so many snoring just recently, its like a massive alarm clock just sounded and lots of freshly awakened eyes have opened.

What I delight to be amongst so many successfully succeeding characters, happy and abundant in such varying ways.

With all this abundant success its like when Neo of the Matrix crouches just before going ‘superman’ and boom out goes a huge energy wave across the landscape…well the energy wave of positivity emanating out from this forum is shaking up so many of the dream world characters, well I mean how good is it going to get!

Delightful how one can be joyous and so happy in ones life and yet continually finding even more that makes us even happier in so many ways.

Whoa. Something just happened that got me a little trancey in my dream: someone to whom I'd sent a pm two years ago when I was a moderator replied to that pm "today", seemingly as though no time had passed. What a funny dream!

I had another lucid dream this morning. It started as a non-lucid one. I was in a hotel, and I noticed the bathrooms were in a different location than they normally were, which seemed suspicious. Then I realized, "Hey... this is a dream."

I became lucid and recalled that I wanted to keep attempting telekinesis, so I tried moving a pen. This time I was able to make it wobble side to side a little, but I couldn't slide or lift it.

At least I'm making some progress in the lucid dream realm.

So I have the best ideas when I'm laying in bed half asleep and last night I was trying to figure out how to be more positive and something said to me just act Like u are already positive. I feel like that is kinda like what u said Steve about acting like we already have the life we want. I then spent the day thinking about subjective reality and noticed that I was alot nicer to people when I pictured them as figments in a dream world, although I did get a dream speeding ticket which wasn't very fun. them I went to a friends and borrowed a movie which typically the only movies this friend usually has is chick flicks and she hands me a movie she bought randomly for 3$ and lo and behold it's about a man trying to make his passion filled dreams his reality and he dives into some lucid dreaming techniques...how exciting and odd, anyway typing this all on my I phone hope to post more later!

By the way, the dream I described in my previous post in this thread happened in "this" level of dreaming (rather than the level that happens when "Angela" is "asleep."

@Steve, maybe it would be helpful to distinguish a name for "this" level of dreaming, for the purpose of having your us Dreamers feel somewhat grounded, whaddya think?

Then again, it is pretty trancey and fun, although a little .... unsettling ... The Wondering.

It might be helpful for CGW playing.

I have so much money I don't know what to do with it. I think I'll follow up that investment suggestion Steve. I'm just so happy that I have sent of that money to build a school in Mozambique. I'm going to visit it soon.

It's brilliant that I have the financial abundance to buy whatever i want whenever I want it.

My life just rocks.

Woah, you mean it?! I mean, I have no problems camping out to get your book (it's totally worth it) but if you don't mind/if you insist then my domestic address would be better, as I'll only be in Amsterdam for a week or so (depending on how much I feel like sight seeing after Nationals).

I would introduce myself by telling you about the first three novels I had published, and the movie deal currently in progress, but I don't need to because everyone's already heard of me, right?

The Universe has decided that I've generated enough positivity to deserve to be given some winning lottery numbers while I sleep tonight. The prize will be a modest amount, under $5,000. My understanding is that the money is to be used solely for personal growth or to help others. I am also not to tell anyone whether I really do have the ability to dream winning lottery numbers. People who are looking for quick fixes will get the wrong idea.
