=    Drifting into a Dream State 
                       
                      Reviewer: The Rebecca Review from the land of
                      dreams 
                       
                      Dr. Jeffrey Thompson has been researching the
                      effect of sound since 1981. He has since established a
                      sound research center in San Diego. He believes in the
                      stress reduction benefits of sound and has proven the
                      effects through clinical research in universities,
                      hospitals and private practices over a period of many
                      years.
                      This music is based on nature sounds and is very
                      relaxing and beautiful. I also noticed that my creativity
                      increased. Probably because I’m sleeping so well and am
                      well rested and more alert. I feel that these CDs almost
                      clear the fog in your brain. It is like a vacation for
                      your brain.
                       What does this music sound like? It is all different. I
                      loved two of the CDs the most. I’ll 
                      review those.
                       If sounds swirl around you in the dance of spinning
                      mermaids, that is the best description for what happens
                      when I listen to the Alpha Meditation selection. There is
                      a certain musical spinning which surrounds you and then
                      there are notes that swirl about independently as they
                      also rotate around you like planets. It is fascinating and
                      addictive.
                       There are sounds of waves crawling up beaches mingled
                      with singing bowls, birds, raindrops, flutes, echoes from
                      beyond time and space. I see flowers blooming in gardens
                      filled with orchids and even sea creatures playing out in
                      a huge ocean. It is a mixture of deep rainforest and
                      coastal escapes.
                       The notes spin from one side of my headphones to the
                      other. It makes me blissfully dizzy. You literally feel
                      you are being pulled down into a whirlpool of sleep.
                      I’ve been listening to this CD every night to fall
                      asleep fast.
                       When none of my other CDs help me sleep, this is the
                      one I reach for. At times I am unable to sleep after
                      listening to three other CDs, then I put this one in and I am completely asleep in minutes.
                       Yes, when in bed, it can help you fall asleep. When
                      listening while typing, it just becomes a relaxing escape.
                      I seem to be able to leave the Bass Boost on with this CD.
                       I prefer Disc 4 (Emotional Openness and Intimate
                      Communication) without as much depth and they sound more
                      clear with my DBB turned off. Otherwise it has a roar and
                      you can’t hear the more delicate sounds. Turn off your
                      Dynamic Bass Boost and the music becomes much more
                      delicate and relaxing.
                       This CD sounds like beautiful notes of pure sounds that
                      dance around your mind or water dripping from the inside
                      of a cave into deep pools of sound. Fall asleep floating
                      away on a river that seems to be endless.

                      I also have enjoyed falling asleep to: Keith Jarett:
                      the Melody at Night. 
                      Another great way to get into a relaxed state is by
                      doing the “Yoga Zone: Flexibility and Stress Release”
                      DVD or Video. It is amazing. It knocks me out because when
                      I’m done exercising, all I want to do is climb into my
                      soft warm bed.
