Great improvement in your dreams! The later lessons will enhance that even more.

I enjoyed your observations on social settings. I would like you to experience something interesting about human voice and your mind. Here it is, we feel the need to seek meaning in every human voice. Because words convey specific images to the mind, we rarely can experience the human voice without it having a distracted seeking element to the experience.

I find that exposing yourself to music in a langue you do not understand, somewhat relives this, and allows you to find a new way of taking in human voice. I did this lesson, back in the day, and used a koerean pop star tape. the young woman had a very nice voice and the songs had varying tempo and such, but i could not attach a mental image or thought to even one word of what she sang. I simply played the tape whenever I could, such as driving, until my mind completely relaxed as far as trying to derive meaning from the voice. After about 3 days I saw the point in the lesson. I reached a place where this woman's voice was experienced more like a birds call or an instrament. Some how this allowed me to adjust in daily life, so that when I deal with people, I can take in the voice without the mental drain of a hundred word pictures forming in my mind. You can then listen to a person, like you would a stream. You still hear the message, but limit the mental tiredness and noise inside of you.

I have an interesting song for you to listen to. It is very popular so it will be easy to find on u-tube. It is Gangnam Style, by Psi.
It has a fun happy exciting rythm, but it is largly in Korean. Listen and observe that when the words are in English "Oh sexy lady" you use a different kind of mental process. this stuff is very very subtle, but give it a shot, you may discover something, even if you can not put it into words.

Try any music that you find sounds ok, but is not in a langue you speak even a bit of.
