 		does anyone have photoshop?

http://aiden_.07x.net/images/journal/page1.jpg

There seems to be text in bright blue marker. I can't make it out. Making the image darker might bring it out....

 		See... I was right. lol

I mentioned this in my first couple of posts btw... Razz

Although it also says "Aiden" at the end, as though he's talking to... Himself? Or, leaving himself clues?

Also I was curious about a few things so I made some notes...

Page 4 states...

3 Bombs hit the U.S on day 1 alone.

1: Washington D.C

2: Coney Island.

3: North. VA.

---

Ten minutes "Reprieve" in a 79hr, shift?

---

A-O-U Are strong letters.

I-E Are weak ones?

---

He's in class 4B?

---

And if he's only 16 and still in H.S - Where's he working to get those awesome "My name is" stickers??

Edit: tried destegging all 4 pages of journal too got nothing.

 		page 1.

the transcript was wrong, here's the correct one (without the black squares, spaces are spaces):

BUT NOW I LONG TO SLEEP AT NIGHT, AND HAVE EVEN TRIED TO SLEEP DURING THE DAY. I SAY I WISH THEY WOULD STOP. I AM NOT SURE THAT IS TRUE NOW.

[speculation]I think that means that he got only ten minutes worth of REM sleep (which is the good kind of sleep that makes us feel refreshed) and the other amount of time was filled with lucid dreams.[/speculation]

Good call, would make sense. I'll keep it in mind, only spec' or not.

 		Asked Aiden if he felt that there was someone else in his dreams, possibly speaking to him and/or guiding his hand which might clarify his use of the third person singular in his journal. Got this odd reply:
Quote:
what, like a demon? a deity? the boogeyman?
it's weird, but i kind of like them. well, maybe not like, but i want them.
i can't sleep, though.

Shocked If he's not already bonkers he will be soon should he not get a good night's sleep soon imo.

 		Just a reminder on the email to him:
Quote:
Can't really say that I have... Although I dreamed about something happening to NYC the week before 9/11 but otherwise. No, sorry...

You're 16 now so, when did this all start happening?

Also your notes on your journal say you know the answer to more than you think or say... What do you know of that, did you write it?

-L.S


His reply:
Quote:
about a month ago.. it started with just daydreams, flashes of vivid light, weird abstract scenes..

oh, and don't worry about that. it's nothing. i know more than people think, that's all.


I don't know where to take this or what to say tbh lol.

ETA: I responded again.

Quote:
So, do you work... As well as go to school? Where abouts?

Do you recall seeing a day/date/time when all this shit hits the fan?

-L.S

 		me:

Quote:
When you said that you have "Ten minutes reprieve in a 79 hour shift", does that mean that you have only ten minutes of normal sleep before
the dreams start? Also, can you control your dreams? When you dream,
do you know that you're dreaming and can you move around in the
dreams?


Aiden's reply:

Quote:
i fell asleep in class. ever since these dreams started i've had insomnia. gives me time to think, but i get delusional.
i can't control them. i'm merely an observer.
but i'm very much aware that i'm dreaming.


So, he's aware that he's dreaming. That is a "lucid dream", which Celia Green predicted would be correlated with REM sleep.

 		Email from Aiden.

Quote:
i live in texas.. relatively small town called mesquite.
as far as seeing a day/date/time, i haven't yet. i can measure time relatively.. in other words, after so much time, this happens..

but i don't even know if these are real..


My reply.
Quote:
What would you think they were?

Did you ever get told you had an 'overactive imagination' when you were younger?

Serious question... Did anything happen, just before you began to have these 'dreams'? An accident, knock on the head, etc?

-L.S

 		me:

Quote:
Are you a fan of Celia Green? You have a picture of her in your
website's index. Her theories and work on dreams, especially lucid
dreaming, seems to describe alot of what you are experiencing.


Aiden's reply:

Quote:
i was researching her work on lucid dreams.. at first, i thought it was just my imagination running away with me.
i don't know what it is, to be honest.
but i think i'm getting closer to finding out.. i can just feel it. like i'm at the cusp of something huge.



So, it looks like i was right. Not only is Celia Green's theories a big part of this ARG, but his site's index is meant to be open.

EDIT: Another journal update. This one makes so little sense that Aiden is confused.
