I just received the home study course on Monday. I finished tape 1B yesterday. The first night I tried the dictionary game, nothing came to me.

Yesterday night, I tried it again, but it was strange. I saw images and positions of words that weren't even listed in the webster's dictionary!

What am I supposed to make of this?

Also, I think I need to try these tapes in the morning or afternoon, because I usually do them around midnight to 2AM, and afterwards I find that I am very very tired. Problem is I have a really long work day, and I find most of my spare time around those hours. Maybe I'll do the set on a weekend instead.

I tried listening to the memory supercharger last night. I was awake for a while, and then I found myself just waking up as the tape was about to end and Paul's voice was coming to a close. Is that normal? When should I start to state my purposes, if I keep falling asleep after he talks?

Also, going through tape 1B and the photoreading step, Paul's relaxation techniques calmed me down, but also made my eyes pretty drowsy.

I don't think that's supposed to happen. I don't find myself completely awake or consciously awake and energized when doing the step.

Any comments or suggestions?

Thanks.
