I would like to add my experiences of the E-E program to this thread. My post has been put off on many occasions, so here goes.
I started the EE program sporadically in October up till December, some weeks i would do the program once a week sometimes missing it completely for a couple of weeks, i was finding i would make excuses and could not get into a regular routine. There where bouts of depression through the period December to mid January, i was feeling pretty low some days and fine on others, It was a real battle to get myself past this stage. On one particular night i woke up mid dream to find myself crying, the experiences i was getting would be zoning out, almost as soon as the POTS mediation started and then I would wake up hours later. I did feel that something was telling me not to start.
I have now gotten into a good routine over the past 6 weeks, from doing the program fully twice a week since the start of February to the last three weeks where i have been making the time to do it a least three times a week sometimes more with the POTS every night.
These last three weeks i have started to get flashing lights, images of all sorts of things from faces i have never seen to full scenes of landscapes and various others i cant make out, i do enjoy this part, i have also had colored fine filaments of light (blue and green mostly) all of this activity happening in the region above my eyes. I am aslo getting the pressure in the forehead.
I still Zone out but usually mid to the end of the POTS, especially when it is only the music, or so i think as some strange sensations are happening it hard to keep track.
I have noticed i am dreaming more vividly through the night, sleeping deeply and waking up relaxed even thought i am now only sleeping 6-7 hours max. On another good note is allot more time reading the forum with less distraction.

A little note that I just remembered and seemed significant: I haven't had much metaphysical effects with the program, but lately I have been noticing more of those little dots of light that flash for instantaneous amounts of time. I had had these before and they were less frequent. But now I get them more often and they last longer, almost a second now. They also sometimes do things like move in a curve during that short one second period. They are silver in color and rarely black also. When the move they are reminiscent of the way a neon sign looks. I notice them more when I read the forum, but that could be because of the light gray background makes them easier to detect. FWIW.
3D student i am also getting what i would call ribbons of light, almost like flowing water, silvery and shimmering which i catch glimpses of just out in my peripheral vision area, it has happen twice this week, i have seen these before but very briefly and i would be luck to catch one once in a year, this weeks duo encounter was bigger than i have seen before, not sure if it the same thing?
I would like to ask if anybody has had nightmares after doing the POTS, this past Saturday i did the full session in the afternoon including the POTS and all was fine, i then did some breathing and the POTS again at bedtime, must have zoned out and fell to sleep. During the night i had a very vivid nightmare, i was more frightened than i have been in many years, i literally felt terrified and unable to move, the dream state was semi lucid with me being aware of my room and surroundings but also in the nightmare at the same time. . When i finally woke in the morning i was sweaty and could tell i had been sweating heavily through the night. But felt strangely more curious than worried.
I don't know if this nightmare was a symptom of clearing out old emotions or dealing with past fears? If it is i think i will just have to get used to them, but i just hope it might be a one off.
