You seem a little skeptical. But you are a sophmore, so I don't blame you. I am a Junior in High School. So far, working with the system, I improvement. The reason for me not to say that I improved a lot is because I don't try enough or spend enough time to PR 10books a day. But do the system, it is good for life, and don't worry about the dreams for brain hurting. I suggest getting into ALS (acc. learning state) and just hold down page down on ebooks and relax. That's when my brain "hurts" =)
