A tip from a retired kingpin. Your dreams are important.

Your subconscious talks to you. Listen to it.

You dream. Every night, many times. The human brain is wired in a way that makes you forget your dreams and store them into your subconcious within a few minutes of you waking up. All humans typically wake up between each sleep cycles, for a few minutes, and then you fall asleep again. Normally you shouldn't remember this at all when you wake up in the morning, or you should only have very very vague memory of it. Most of the time you will completely forget you have woke up or dreamt at all. But you did, and your subconscious remembers it. This explains why sometime during the day you may encounter a casual thing, such as a place, a new person you meet and have a "deja-vu" experience or a flashback. I don't know for you guys but personally, but each time I get this deja vu feeling I get a short flashback of a dream I made recently about this thing in particular. Or I will wake up and suddenly display an interest in a subject without knowing why.

As humans, we have a lot of defense mechanism to hide or deny our fears, suspicions, anger, or other emotions that are very important in the way we conduct our everyday life (or business, in my case). The moment where the barrier between your conscious and your subconscious is the weakest is when you dream. Unfortunately, our brain is wired to make us forget about our dreams. This is normal, our brain understands the memories from the dreams are unreal and confusing, and will wipe them out to avoid confusing you between your dream and reality. However, the brain takes a few minutes to do so after you wake up between every cycles. THIS is the moment you can act.

Keep a notepad next to you when you sleep, and the moment you wake up, during the night, when your dream is still fresh, quickly write a few code-words about anything you remember from your dream just before falling into deep sleep again. It takes a little efforts, like waking up when your 6:00 AM clock rings, but is well worth it.

When you wake up in the morning after your night, do not look immediately at what you wrote during the night. Just spend your day like you would and try to remember any of your dreams. Once the day has passed, THEN look at what you wrote. You would be surprised how much one can learn about his inner feelings, apprehensions, instincts just by reading the few codewords you wrote.

I have been doing this for a few weeks now. Sometime my lists are as confusing as

"Dragon, kill, fear / Science classes, bad teacher, experiment, explosion / Prison-break, betrayal, afraid"

Each / depicts a different dream, made during the same night.

It has tremendously affected my way to conduct business. Made me understand my emotions better and the way I use them to conduct my business.

As criminals/drug-dealers, we have a natural tendency to deny authority and many have sociopathic issues (I do not exclude myself). We are more prone to superficiality, violence, power, greed, betrayal and such. In many cases we are distanced from our feelings, more than the general population. Breaking the barrier between your subcouncious and your councious can be a way to understand yourself with a much broader view. Also, analyzing your dreams on an extended time period can make you realize a few things. If your dreams are different every night but they are always related to a specific emotion of subject, it would be time to think about it in more depth; what makes your subcouncious so obsessed about this? Why? The trend of your dreams illustrate your inner feelings. Listen to them, it will definitely help you conduct your business in a safer way.

Also, I am not a fed.

TL:DR: keep a notepad next to your bed and quickly write your dreams everytime you wake up during the night, then take a peak at it. You would be surprised.

Useful and powerful advice. I take notes on the phone next to the bed. a cool technique is to pose a question to your subconscious or contemplate a problem or issue shortly before falling asleep. Your supercomputer of a mind can go to work as you sleep. I have overcome temporary problems or came up with great ideas with that technique.

I had a dream about an awesome fucking movie that would star Tom Hardy. I woke up in the middle of the night and remember thinking how awesome it was and I will write it. Then I passed back out and woke up and didn't remember shit. If your post happened 3 days ago, I'd be a millionaire

I believe deja vu is actually a LONG term memory temporarily stuck in the portion of your brain that deals with SHORT term memory, hence the feeling like it has happened before even though it is actually happening currently.

I'm pretty sure this isn't true. I took a neuropsych class some years ago and remember reading that most parts of most dreams simply aren't encoded into long term memory from working memory.

love you pops. i took some red bali kratom the other night and for some reason beknownst to me, i initiated a lucid dream. for some reason that strain has a lot to do with lucid dreaming. i will take this into mind. i use to keep a notepad but i stopped that a while ago.

you never fail to impress me. Whether it be your bravado, business acumen, or deep thought provoking intellectual statements. I never thought drug dealers were as multifaceted as you seem to be.


[1 Points] Xanzibarr:

This also helps with lucid dreaming if anyone is interested in that type of stuff. And if you smoke weed most likely you won't remember dreams at all. Nice post AK

thank you for this. I had been also reading up on lucid dreaming and was very interested to make a record of my dreams but hadn't yet. Your message made my decision concrete.

My life after doing DMT has had much more prominent, heavy dreams, that come every night. I've been doing this - taking quick notes on my phone when I wake up. I think taking the time to think about these things and your own emotions in a more detached way - as in, analysing dreams - is better for your mental and emotional health than the act of remembering dreams is itself. Just watch your head and love yourself.

Or just do some dmt ;p

Shitpost that has nothing to do with the markets and belongs on /r/darknetfaggots.

It's true though, dreams are very important. 夢は凄く大切ですよ。

Tony Soprano is that you? Sounds like you did a Fusion Dance with that therapist and are now one person.

All jokes aside, I'd advise against this advice. Solely for the reason for those that have pondered on their subconscious for too long have been led into madness. That and incorrect conclusions of which science barely has a pixel understood on the canvas that is the mind. Careful not to misinterpret some things, unless you are gaining some sort of perceived benefit; in which case regardless of the accuracy of the interpretation, go right on ahead. Especially for the mentally unstable, this would be trending quite dangerous waters to say the least.

Human brains are truly extraordinary.

I remember reading few stories of people who went into coma saying that they created a whole new reality in their head while they were unconsciouce. Like they were just living their own lives and not realizing at all that what they were experieincing were just things made up in their head. The crazy part was thought that nothing was out of the ordinary. No monsters, no flying, no supernatural events, just same old boring everyday life. They even made up people that never existed in real life in their coma world whom they interacted with.

I've had experience having a dream while dreaming. I woke up thinking that I just woke up from dreaming only to realize later that I woke up again from that dream. Kind of made me question a lot of things but in the end I just figured that nothing really matters so I just try to enjoy life, appreciate what I have and not take myself too seriously anymore.
