Ok just have a couple of questions. 1 Am I insane???
Last week I started photoreading by reading a series that I had previously read.
My wife recently reread them so I figured it would serve as a test for pr.It's been at least 2 years since i read them and i only remember the overlying plot, main characters, and places.
I began photoreading thinking I would then sleep on it and rapid read the next day.
While I photoread the books (3 so far) all sorts of details flashed in my mind and with no incubating I was talking over the details with my wife and talking about things she had forgotten. Is this normal for pr'ing a book you've already read? It was like instant recall with more details popping in as i spoke about the story. 2nd some have suggested that while you are learning photoreading you should photoread 2-5 books a day and activate at least 1.
My question is should i follow the whole process up to but not including activate?
or just get the state and photread with out setting a purpose and or preview? 3rd Any Arizona photoreaders out there?

1) You are not insane. I have had that same experience many times with different types of activation of material previously studied read etc. 2)This is qoute I originally used about learing the pr state etc. It's Pete Bissonette: "PhotoRead 5-10 books a day for a month or two. This is a big commitment, but those who do this have many difference experiences with activation including spontaneous activation, weird cooincidences, dreaming about the contents of a book or applying the principles from a book, opening books to exactly the information you are looking for, and so on. It is a great confidence builder. That's how I started out, and I highly recommend it. Activate one book a week--but PhotoRead 5-10 a day to see what happens--even if it is the same book over and over"
This is the link to it in the Archives on Step 3 Photoreading under the subject Speed. http://www.learningstrategies.com/forum/ubb/Archives/Archive-000003/HTML/20001203-8-000020.html 3) Sorry not it Arizona

I'm an Arizona "attempting" Photoreader, though I'm not good at it yet.

Free choice some books you might like to preview set a purpose others not until after you photoread them might the curiosity be aroused. Experiment. If you do opt to preview do them all in a stack and then just PhotoRead the stack quote:

Thanks to all for the tips and info.
I've started to read more and more and will begin reading 4-5 books a day if time permits. A question I have is pete is quoted saying to read 3 books directly related to your subject and 1-2 books indirectly related and activate atleast 1 a week.
Should I activate the direct or indirect books? Any one out there who has tried either or both ways have any feed back?
I will try both and post my results later. thanks all!!!

Paul suggest for "direct learning" at least 3(4 or 5 is more of an ideal) book on the subject you intend to do a direct learning on and one book to contrast that. For example you want to learn to be a better manager 4 books on the art of management and the contrasting could be sailing. None of the books are manually activated in a Direct learning Project. Alex

Hmmm - insane? I do believe the "Insane" category fits those who refuse to have anything to do with Photoreading!
Having noticed that there are PhotoReaders in Arizona and Australia, I'd like to insert Africa as well - it starts with an "A", too - I'm in Namibia. (nog iemand wat Afrikaans praat op die forum? - anyone else Afrikaans-speaking on the forum?)
Gotta go - it's 5AM Central time in your neck of the woods, and 1300 (=lunchtime) over here...

Thanks really cool. I wonder how many languages are being photoread to date. Any japanese photoreaders out there? Or any one else who has used photoreading to brush up on or learn japanese? And I think I at least seem a bit insane as i sit on my lunch break and flip through an 800 page book in minutes. I do get looks. HE HE HE HE!!!
