Thanks for the relaxation advice – Use it I will!
I shall also apply NOPS when I use the system.

Thank you for quantitative reply.
Yes I do use mind-probing questions.
Yes I do want to achieve eidetic memory, but I understand this may take years to cultivate. At this moment, I would settle for any of the “sublime” experiences as highlighted as examples in the PWMS book.
“What is required for it to work?”
All that I get from using all of the steps is a “general” idea of each book. That is, I get structure and concept from previewing, plus whatever I have consciously superread or rapid read. If I want further comprehension I have to read normally. I was expecting PR to “fill in the blanks – join up the dots”. Isn’t activation supposed to construct the highway for the rest of the information placed in your other-than-conscious mind to travel on?
How many books?
25 –30 on subjects including: accounting, business, law, management, time management, NLP, memory, speed reading, screenwriting, music theory, grammar & punctuation, card tricks, finance, dictionaries, foreign languages, computer manuals, magazines, etc.
Have I found information more easily?
No! I only know the basic structure of each book (see above) plus what I have stored in my conscious mind via reading normally. Some books I have read normally several times and PhotoRead, but I still could not claim any in-depth knowledge (or identify any concept/word/phrase on any given page).
Superreading
Does not work for me. Instead of getting a “feeling” of where to dip, I dip when I feel guilty about how many pages I have been turning, and I’m worried about getting to the end of the book without having dipped anywhere! The pages where I dip contain no information relevant to my goals of mind-probing questions.
Dreams?
I do a lot of “playing as if”. I dream that I already have the knowledge or skill contained in the book, but…nothing! Can you help me make my dreams come true?

“How many activation passes?”
Consider that I have normally read the book several times previously “normally” in the first place. Then I PhotoRead. I activate by going through the book about three times, making mind maps as I go – I also record/dictate tapes of key points and play them in the car. I apply mnemonic memory principles/the major system to other key points or phrases.
When all this fails (after a week or so) I give up and re-read the book normally again!
