Using Dreams to Trick me back to sleep

For a long time i have been working on getting up when the alarm clock sounds and starting my day straight away. And this was going really well my trick was to set the alarm an hour or two before i wanted to wake up, so i wake up when the alarm goes off and i can get a drink and remind myself that i will be waking up in an hours time, so i still got to enjoy an hour of snoozing but still getting up on time. But recently my mind has figured out a new trick for me turning off my alarm and going back to sleep for another 2-3 hours .

What will happen around the time i will be needing to wake up i will have an extremely vivid dream almost lucid, and in the dream a huge event or story will begin to unfold, one where there is a epic battle or situation that i am in, then i will wake up. At which point my self talk and sleepiness will beg me to go back to sleep to find out what happened next in the dream. I am creating dreams that need an ending so when i wake up i need to go back to sleep to try and find out what happens next. The funny thing is the next dream is never the same as the previous one, as i try to will the dream to continue by remembering and replaying parts of the dream i just can not get the story to take off from where i left. So i fall asleep and keep willing myself to fall asleep so that i can finish the dream and see the ending or consequence.

 This is the trick because the ending doesn’t really matter i could always think of what happened next when i am awake as its my own story telling imagination that has made this tale so far. 

 I really enjoy dreams even the ones where i feel pain or fear , these little moments of life are as real as to the extent you can perceive them. As they are my own personal unique experience that only i can see and feel each night i am always surprised at the detail and complexity of the dreams. I always remember a dream where i was sitting in a car while two other people freestyle and rhymed lyrics together, i always remember that i was truly amazed at the skill and use of language. But at the same time, as this was my dream it would have been myself creating those two characters and putting the words in their mouths. So it was a part of my self and my own intelligence that was freestyling, which means i must have the skill inside on a deep level in some part of my mind that i don’t always access during conscious thought.

 I am always trying to learn and see more what visions i have during sleep as i cannot ignore these hours of my life just because i am asleep.

Here is a link to some instrumentals if you ever want to just try and freestyle some ideas out , here is some instrumental tunes for you to use as a tool , will be practicing daily to for a while to get some rhythm and flow in to my thoughts and ideas. Being able to have flow is also good for when talking.

Just spent the weekend away at my parents home, where they dont have the internet. The idea was to be to spend some time away from the net and the site and blogging ect. Some time just to step back from my life, refresh then come back stronger, clear headed, refreshed with some new inspiration. That was the idea to spend quality time with my family, but my mind was stuck in web devlopement mode and article mode the entire time.

Being goal orianted can take your mind off the current situation, i am very goal orianted at the moment about my site, that i seem to think and notice nothing outside of this frame of thoughts. I eat, sleep and breath this!!!

 I know this state has allowed me to get some good ideas for the site but at the same time i didn’t enjoy my time away as i was so deeply preocupied in my head about the site and getting back so i could get on the net and check the site stats.

I think it is  a good thing  when you have a dream or a vision you want to achieve, let it be with you all day long. Think and talk about your goals, you would be supprised when you talk to some people about your goals the support you get or usally your ideas go straight over thier heads. Which is one of the reasons i think you have to allow yourself to ponder and self talk your goals personally. My family and freinds know nothing about wordpress, blogger, affiliate marketing , paypal….ect.  so discussing my goals and plans with them will not really get me anyware and thier feed back is usally one of confusion/negativity.

Which is a shame some goals and plans you cant share with people because they dont know anything about them, you have to hold your goals to yourself and self nurture them.  Self talking your goals you will give yourself a more open and positive understanding as you will know how to question your own thinking, but could be bad as you are blinded by your own percepition or level of understanding.

But goals can mess with your head especially when you are some place that has  games, conversation, technology and people that don’t have anything to do with the goal , people will wonder what has got in to you. Being in a place that had nothing related to my goals and ambitions made me spend allot of time in my own mind where i could create the visions of the things i wanted to be working on. So i spent allot of time preocupied with my own thoughts.

Just the thing im not happy with was the fact i travelled to see these people and as soon as i got there i was already thinking what i was going to do when i got back, so the whole time felt just like i wasnt really there. My communication sucked as well as i wasnt thinking about what was going on around me as i was having massive hour long bursts of inspiration and goal focused self talk.

Maybe something for the future, when this happens go to oneside jot down on notepade some ideas and then remind myself why i decided to take time away from work.

Leap of Faith in to the Unkown Web

Changing Servers and domains changes everything. This leap of faith applies to the change of BeWiseMonkey.Com changing its server on the web, the site was getting good quality hits everyday , up to 1000 hits a day and has all the promise of growing to be a nice popular site, for all those people who like watching funny monkeys, checking some nice girl pictures and reading some random articles. Unfortunatly the site was on WordPress.com which has a very little tolerance for advertising.

Affiliate links and adverts are not allowed on WordPress and so i was risking the site by having it on there. Not that i could have just taken ads off the site, but i want to be able to advertise on my site and i dont want all my articles to be deleted. So the choice was to take a leap of faith and move away from WordPress.com and hoste privatly but still using WordPress.org to manage site contents. Having used the wordpress content and system i am happy with it and it provides me with the tools which suit my level of Webmaster intelligence.

Google and other services dont know the site has moved my page rankings on googles searchs still come up the same but the BeWiseMonkey.Com they link too is differnet to the current location the site is in. So back to square one, i dont know how the traffic will grow now i have no associations with the wordpress.com tagging lists as i used to get good traffic from them and im not sure if customers search terms will take a while to hit in to my site again.

Leaving WordPress.com and now out in the big open internet, maybe this happend to soon. I could have removed advertising from my blog and carried on and tryed to build the site visits to 10-20k per day then left anouncements advising people to keep the webname on favorites list and that it will be offline for a few days while it gets rebuilt on the new server. Another thing is the site has had to undergo new design modifications as the old theme didnt transfer over.

Being with WordPress you are not allowed to modify htlm code either so your pages and posts are pretty much fixed with in what the simple scripts will allow, now the site is able to have flash and other forms of Htlm i think it will be a steep learning curve and also a little bit of fun to see what else can be included to the visit. I am a complete coding beginer so its slow steps but overall time will tell whether the leap of faith was worth it.
