I will update soonish
I used DRR2 recently, and the recon gradually built up over time, affecting my productivity.
It grew slowly so I didnāt realize it.
Iām glad I didnāt rush DRR2 this time and used short loops & more rest days.
The healing is good though, I could feel it digging deep into me.
Other than that, thereās not much difference from before.
DRR1 is still my favorite. Itās light, smooth, powerful.
Itās like a more holistic version of DRLD.
Thatās the update from me for now.
I have been using Subliminal Club subliminals since july this year. Experimenting with various ones, trying to find my fit. Seeing effects, using more difficult subliminals, facing resistance, getting easier ones. But now, I have decided that the time has come to attend to my old, ingrained struggles with self worth and confidence being the root cause. So, I got myself Dragon Reborn: RED. I am listening to ST1, there were 3 sessions - 2 minutes ,3 minutes and last one for 5 minutes this morning. After listening to it, I returned to bed and have fallen asleep. During this short sleep, I had a strange interesting dream that has highlighted my fears, and Iād like to share it with you folks.
It began with me preparing to give a live statement to the media. The looming task filled me with dread; I could feel the weight of judgment and the pressure of being under scrutiny. However, as the scene unfolded, I discovered an unexpected ally in the journalist assigned to my story. Far from being adversarial, they were compassionate and understanding. My debate opponent, too, revealed themselves to be reasonable and fair. Gradually, the anxiety that had gripped me began to fade. Even within the dream, I found a sense of clarity, realizing that this was a challenge I could handle. When I awoke, I envisioned how I might approach such a situation in realityāstrategically and with composureāturning it into an opportunity rather than a threat.
Next, I found myself under the critical gaze of my boss. Their tone, though not overtly harsh, carried an edge that made me anxious. I anticipated their disapproval even before they spoke, a familiar pattern rooted in my real-life experiences. The boss assigned me an important taskāthe same media statementābut gave me no time to prepare.
To complicate matters, I was to attend a prestigious gala event to meet the journalist and my debate opponent. Yet, due to the rush, I arrived wearing old, faded pajamas and no shoes. At first, I felt deeply self-conscious about my appearance. But as I mingled with the attendees, I noticed something remarkable: no one seemed to care about my attire. Everyone, including the journalist, treated me with warmth and acceptance. The journalist even helped me prepare for the statement and kindly postponed the broadcast to give me more time. While my outfit still bothered me slightly, it didnāt stop me from moving forward.
In the next scene, I faced one of my most visceral fears: heights. I was in a small hut high above the ground, with a precarious descent ahead of me. I had to step over a ledge onto a narrow girder and make my way down through an unprotected network of beams, with a dizzying drop of 100 meters below. The fear was paralyzing. I froze, unable to move either forward or back. But as time passed, I summoned the courage to retreat back to safety. Though I didnāt descend the ledge, the act of reclaiming control and stepping back felt like a small victory in itself.
The final act of the dream involved me driving a group of people to destinations I had never been to before. The unfamiliarity made me tense, but I navigated the roads successfully, delivering everyone safely to their destinations. However, when I stepped out of the car, I realized I was wearing only one shoe. Later, I discovered both shoes were on my feet, but I had no trousers. At one point, I briefly left the car in this state, standing in a bustling, historic square. To my surprise, no one seemed to notice or care about my disheveled appearance. This lack of judgment from others contrasted sharply with my own self-consciousness.
When I finally woke, there was no lingering fear or anxiety. Instead, I felt a sense of curiosity and intrigue: āNow, THAT was interesting.ā The dream, with its vivid scenarios and emotional weight, felt like a purposeful exploration of my subconscious.
Now, if this wasnāt the work of the DRR, I donāt know what it was. What do you folks think?
When I read my journal, I started thinking, āHuh, I donāt usually use these words/see the world like this.ā
Then I looked at DRRās description and realized, that what Iām experiencing is exactly the same as whatās written in the copy, word to word.
Iāve been using DRR2 once every 8 - 10 days for almost 2 months now.
The effects are still clear, even with that small frequency. The sub is just that strong.
Why emperor black ?
DRR ST1 can really create a storm of heavy difficult emotions. After one really not important event few days ago, lots of negative sensations and patterns started to surface, getting amplified to maximum Feeling of sadness, anger, defiance, rejection, doom and gloom and true despair. It lasted for two days. In the afternoon of second day extreme sensations of hopelessness and futility were so hard that I was nearing decision to stop all my self improvement work and discard it all because it is too late, because it is impossible and I am just deluding myself by trying. Feeling of total defeat and inevitable capitulation and return to old ways that are well known and feel safe, but devoid of happiness and any sense of true fulfillment. But during those grim hours, as if some calm voice was trying to speak to me, telling me that this defeatist outlook is just not right, the truth is different and much better. At evening, the storm has subsided and there was a time of clarity. I was able to single out lots of old patterns and convictions that were holding me in place. After that I was able to ādissectā them and follow their trail, leading me to my childhood. There I have found the very roots of my troubles and insecurities, with self worth, fear of rejection/vulnerability being in the center of it all. Long story, really. But afterwards, a distant, old, subtle feeling of joy came thru. A feeling that is somehow familiar, but forgotten ages ago.
Today I have met a person I havenāt seen for years. That person is facing fears, doubts and insecurities that are so familiar to me. I was able to offer comfort and understanding in a meaningful way, while showing my own vulnerability - which is something that I would avoid nearly at all cost before. And without a hint of hesitation, which is also not characteristic for me. And lastly, I spoke from my soul, dropping all masks and pretenses that I used to hide behind, playing some cool, tough guy. And speaking that way also felt very easy, as if I had dropped a part of my burdens.
I could also mention some other events, be it coincidences, synchronicity, manifestations of whatever that have shone light to some of my patterns and routines deep inside that really no longer serve me.
Is this all about DRR ST1 or not, I cannot tell. But it has been one helluva week.
For those facing ādark nightā on their journey: the only way out is through. Those dark moments will pass and will be followed by clarity. So donāt give up.
Me on khan+drred within first 10 minutes of meeting someone:
Tell me your deepest personal traumas you havenāt shared with anyone.
Certainly not wasting time on small talk and suprisingly people are very open with me but i noticed that before subs too since i dont have judgemental vibe.
You stacked Khan & DRR? I was going to do that when I first started Khan
Yeah since drred came out in June its tough but i feel it has great synergy.
Thatās my emergency plan. If I donāt make major progress with one certain challenge, Iāll run TB and DRR1 until itās solved.
I was thinking the same thing recently.
Iāve hit a point a couple of days ago where I decided all I want right now is to improve. To move forward on a very different trajectory compared to how I have been being so focused on past regrets, guilt, and shame.
From the book Atomic Habits
Did you run Khan at a point before?
Old Khan perhaps?
Or is it a first for you?
I tried running Khan St 1 multiple times but I couldnāt get myself to be consistent. Feeling really bad or anxious instead of sticking with it and working through whatever it is.
This is the first time Iāve been this consistent
Can Dragon Reborn Red ST1 and ST2 be stacked with Genesis: Art of Happiness?
Are you talking about stacking all three?
Then thereās the general warning not to stack multiple stages of the same sub.
If you just want to stack one stage with AoH, I think youāre good.
I was not aware of that warning, Gratitude.
I skimmed this threadāI take it nobody tried to go straight to DRR4, having done Dragon Reborn ST4 (before the existence of RED and GOLD) in the past?
They changed the whole sub a lot so its better just start from st1
Tried it for just one day, lol.
Itās incredibly intense, but it did have an effect! Afterward, I switched to a few loops of ST1 over the course of a week (day on + day rest).
Iām now starting a fresh cycle, going step by step from DRR1 to DRR4. DDR will remain my main title throughout.
Iāll likely pair it with Limitless or Stark for studying, and WB, PS, or my custom PS+GM for seducation.
DDR is here to stay until the end.
The only reason I stopped KB at ST3 was that I didnāt see the health benefits I was hoping for when using KB alongside Paragon. Iāve gone through a few cycles with Paragon now, and while itās great, Iāve decided to focus on DDR for healing.
I believe my physical challenges are rooted in unresolved traumas, so DDR feels like the right tool to address them.
