i’ve always needed noise to sleep… never had a tv in my room so the go to was always music.. but at some point in the timeline i noticed.. that while sleeping sometimes whatever was on would creep into dreams… so say i passed out on the couch for a bit and lethal weapon was on… there might be a dream with riggs and murtaugh might pop in a dream…. so i began to wonder about what gets into your subconscious while sleeping … does the brain still process information some how even though i wasn’t awake.. so thanks to this silly thing called the internet and having access to information my first idea was what if I listened to nothing but Italian lessons and italian speaking … would I pick up any of the language… hahahhaha so got my hands on some rosetta stone rips of lessons and shit like that and would just play them while i slept…. but without having some one to practice with I had (and still have) no fuckin clue if anything got in there hahahahaah surprise surprise… but…. that didn’t discourage me for giving it a crack with other shit still…. i made the wonderful discovery of Librivox.org with its free database of audio books so i began by downloading every since Philosophy book that I had wanted to read… and should have read while actually going for my degree.. but thats probably for another day.. … any ways… so what i would do is make 8-10 hour playlists of books and would just let that playlist go for a week or 2 then make a new playlist and so on and so on…. would do this as well with lectures and any audio that i wanted to be immersed in…. i would listen to them awake as well… but i wonder…. if anything got in…. because there is a familiarity with certain ideas depending how much of that topic was repeated …. like a deja vu type of thing…. i still do this from time to time.. .. especially with Manly P. Hall lectures.. there is just so many on so many topics and he possesses an engaging way of speaking….. i still dont know if it works… i dont think i want to know if does hahahahah ….
