Hello again to everyone,
First of all I want to thank everyone for responding with your own experiences and what each of you feel have helped you the most in trying to overcome the difficulties in trying to comprehend. This is what I was looking for the most. We are all different and each one of us has these little tricks that seem to work best for us. I wanted to find out what some of you do to help with comprehension and then try it and see if it might work for me. I've been trying to slow down and put more importance on remembering more of small amounts of text than trying to remember most of large amounts of text. Ear plugs work better more me because I'm distracted by noise too much anyway. Reading in quiet areas if possible, which I already knew but can't always practice. Rereading when my mind has wandered as mentioned by a few people in this thread, I've been doing more of that. I've realized that reading is really more work than I thought. Even if it is for pleasure. The EE breathing has helped me remember more chunks of my dreams lately and hopefully it will help with my comprehension as well so long as I focus on using it for that reason as well. Basically, I'm working at changing some of my bad habits and trying to start some better ones. We'll see how well I progress. Thanks Everyone! and we'll talk again somewhere else on the forum.
