Ah, a problem! If you look in "Research and Experimentation", there's a topic Mech made about something of a sigil. Of course I don't care about sigils. Instead, I'm more interested in the ciphered message itself. Trying to find the key is practically suicide, especially since 1) I don't know much about encryption techniques, ESPECIALLY with computers, and 2) there's a lot of possible keys (Okay, I know the key is more valuable than anything else in this situation, other than the message itself, but most likely if Mech is going to use the same website in the future he's going to change the key). I'm then better off trying to figure out what the message says rather than with what key was used. I think the encryption process is run through a java script? Like I said, I don't know much about computer assembly languages (well, I didn't say "computer", but now you know). So far here are my notes (I might take a look at it during school, I don't know):

I know the text is 88 characters long (includes spaces). Each 3-number group is a character. Doesn't matter what the key is; if the character appears at least twice in the text then the 3-number group that represents the same character will also appear at least twice. I would use frequency analysis, except the whole number thing is confuzzling me. I'll probably need a longer text to use frequency analysis at its maximum potential. Spaces and periods are also included and I haven't really practiced with spaces  Embarrassed What's a killer in this message is that capital letters have a different 3-number combo in comparison to their lower-case counter-part. In other words, 629 might stand for "h", but 598 stands for "H". I think it's a substitution cipher, and since the key can compromise of characters trying to figure it out is practically suicide, or at least for me, since I don't know much about assembly languages to make my own script that can plug in random groups of 5 characters each to test each one out (as a key) until one of the 3-number group matches up with one of the 3-number group in the ciphered message.

Some guesses and thoughts:
627 - probably e
627 and 558 are practically right next to each other!
627 and 644 also tend to be right next to each other.
Interesting sequences are:644-627-558-627, 558-627-644-627, 627-635-627-558, 635-558-627, and 627-558-635-627-558
A quick frequency distribution...
536 – 2
558 – 11
571 – 3
597 – 1
599 – 1
602 – 1
623 – 4
625 – 5
626 – 1
627 – 16
628 – 1
630 – 2
631 – 4
635 – 6
636 – 5
637 – 4
638 – 1
640 – 6
641 – 4
642 – 5
644 – 3
646 – 1
647 – 1

Somebody mind getting me a few percentages? Tongue I also organized the 3-number groups from the top at the lowest value in terms of the value of the numbers themselves, with the highest being at the lowest of the list. I don't know why I did it that way instead of the 3-number group being the highest at the top.

By the way, if these groups of 3-numbers only represented letters then the cracking process would have been easier. However, the 3-numbers can represent ANY character, or at least I checked it with periods and spaces (yes, an actual space). 627 might not represent "e" then, but probably a space. Anyways I have homework to do. I only spent like 15 minutes on the ciphered message, so I haven't been able to give a real crack at it (double-meaning intended). The majority of my notes came from tinkering with keys with 1 letter, like "a", up to 5-letter stuff like "jayme". The notes I took were not restricted to only letters; it also included some characters, like "!" and ".", excluding the quotation marks. I don't have much cryptography experience (experience<6 months), so sorry I can't offer more help. Anyways, enjoy! Try not to reveal the message if you get it early though. Wait until near the deadline; then reveal the message.

Well, it's decrypting enciphered messages but yeah...

Start with something easy, like a caesar shift. Then learn some more complicated, but understandable, material like basic transposition. At that point you should become familiar with keys and how they work. Before you do any of this you should know how the encipherment process works. Pretty much you have an algorithm, the plaintext message, and a key that both third-parties know. Once the receiver receives the message they then proceed to use the key to decrypt the ciphered message with the algorithm that was given beforehand. At first you would think the algorithm is the most important piece of information, but it's not; rather, the key itself is highly important. A great example of this is the Enigma machine used in WWII. Of course Alan Turing cracked the code with the help of a computer (calculators back then that could be programmed), but the main key to solving the enigma code was finding the right rotor variation to decipher messages. People already knew the design of the machine and how it enciphered messages, but that didn't matter if the main secret to enciphering the messages in the first place was due to the rotor variation. Anyways, for the specific way on how Turing did it just look it up on google.

Two books that are highly helpful are: The Code Book by Singh and Elementary Cryptanalysis by Sinkov (note: the "elementary" part is DEFINITELY not elementary when it comes to the math). You might want to study basic number theory, in to which I would recommend Elementary Number Theory by Charles Vanden Eynden. At least, those are the texts that I'm using. Don't expect to completely understand all of the material at the first go, especially with the number theory text. Some proofs are just simply amazing, ha ha ha. If you're stuck then go to a math forum or look on yahoo answers.

P.S. If you think the proof for proving root 2 is an irrational number is amazing then you will definitely be entertained for the rest of the text!

And I haven't worked on the message...darn...

I already decoded the message, and sent it to mech.  He said I was right but that the decryption fudged capitals. (It did.)

It's never difficult to decode simple encryption.  Now, multiple layers of AES required something a little harder...

I've never done decryption on computers, so...
The course I'm taking is going to teach me how to use java though. The end of the semester is going to require each student to create their own RSA code, so that's going to be fun.

Most of the decryption stuff I've done are caesar shifts, multiplicative substitution (and the inverse by utilizing modular equations with frequency analysis), 2 to 7 layer rail fence ciphers (that's pretty easy), a substitution cipher (forget the name) with keywords, and a vigenere square cipher (tis' a beast and requires the individual to be good at looking for patterns). Remember, I'm doing all of this by hand; I don't know how to employ machines to help me, which would greatly reduce the amount of time it takes me to decipher messages. I've only done a single assembly language, which was a kiddy one in itself (BASIC by TI-83 calcs).
EDIT
Out of curiosity, how would you go about decoding the message into plain text with computers? Also, what stuff can I learn from an independent level to decrypt the message in the first place? Any foundations I can start from? Just a couple of sources will be good enough for me, ha ha ha. I would appreciate a PM if you have the time.

Nothing really interesting has been going on. I had about two lucid dreams this week, nothing too major. I haven't meditated for a while, except for some kiddy sessions like closing my eyes and letting my mind wander. I have like 70 bookmarks (underestimated) that I collected in order to avoid boredom, but every time that I am bored I forget to look in my bookmarks. Most of the time the rate at which I collect bookmarks is greater than the rate at which I view them. In other words, my list slowly accumulating. I really need to go over them, at least by Thanksgiving. As for school, everything has been going well. I had some tests with essays and a lab report over the last couple of days, so things have been a little hectic (I procrastinate). I know, that's horrible; I'm working on it.Other than school and my dreams not much has gone down. After some encouragement to look over Mech's message again and trying out some passwords (I initially stopped after 15 minutes) I was able to get the message. After sharing my findings with somebody else who also cracked the message (Notagh), I actually used a different key than he did, but got the same answer, ha ha ha. What a peculiar coincidence. Like Notagh also mentioned, it's probably something that has to do with the whole encryption process. Either way the message has been deciphered; I'm DONE! I'm planning to pick up HTML and Unix soon, since I'm starting to learn Java. I also want to learn a little bit more about security, so what better way to accomplish this than by visiting "Hack This Site"! We shall see....

Had three successive dreams last night, two of them LDs. The first dream was a WILD, while my last dream was initiated by a DILD. The second dream wasn't lucid, but it was creepy. Anyways, during the first and last dream I decided to attempt dream sharing after reading some DJs in Dreamviews. Long story short, it failed after I checked in with the actual people I was trying to share a dream with. If anyone wants to attempt dream sharing with me then PM me and we can set up an appointment. Just because I don't believe in the actual stuff doesn't mean I can't try them Cheesy I'm pretty open to trying it out, so don't be shy.

Not much is happening, except that Thanksgiving is coming up. I'll finish a couple of books I've been holding off (I still have five+ that I need to read), but other than that everything has been going by smoothly. I might do a vision quest that's offered in my school, so that's going to be fun. I honestly don't care about finding my spiritual guide/animal (I know I am being prejudiced and even ignorant towards some of the Native American cultures' rite of passage), but rather I'm going to view the event as a time to chill for three days with no city distraction. For like the first three hours I'll think and ponder, while the rest of the time...I don't know. The whole thing is going to go down by February, so that's going to be cool.

I think I had two/three LDs? I can't remember. All of them was triggered in-dream; one of them might have been a DILD, but I'm pretty confident it was in-dream, maybe through a RC or something. One of these days I'll go through the whole dream journal business again...

Shame on me...After losing the desire for LDs, my ability to keep up my awareness during hypnagogic hallucinations has begun to wane away! I still have some ability to do minor RCs in dreams, but my WILDs suck. At most I'm lucid for what seems to be like three seconds, only for me to lose control. I might read LaBerge Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming to improve my LDing skills. Tis' a shame. I might do a DJ again, but this time, due to time constraints, I'll limit it to about one-sentence to ten-sentences summaries. I'll be trying to cram in as much information as I can to save more time, but legible to the point I can remember my dreams. The main problem is that I won't be able to remember specific details in my dreams, like the clothes I was wearing, my shape, thoughts, specific DCs, colors and background, et cetera. I know I still have to put up some dreams that I said I will...I'll give my journal a quick read, hopefully tomorrow, to remember what promises I made to the audience Tongue

Interesting. So, do you write in your journal every time you dream? Or is it every other dream? Also, how clear do you see in your dreams?

I rarely write in a DJ. Most of the time I write when I feel like it, which is a problem if I want consistent dream recall; it's important to have this ability when attempting WILDs, primarily to validate if the attempt worked in the first place. I'm trying to kick that habit and write in my DJ daily with at least one-sentence summaries. So far I was able to successfully recall some parts of last night's dream, but it was foggy. If I keep recording then my recall should also improve; I *think* I can try some conscious exercises to improve my dream recall, i.e. experiencing hypnagogic hallucinations, breaking out of them, then trying to remember the experiences. I'm not sure if there's a correlation between how memory is recorded during hypnagogic hallucinations and how it's stored during REM sleep.

During my dreaming career, the majority of my dreams tend to be very clear. Some dreams are extremely blurry, while others I can't even move my eyes to look at the rest of my surroundings. It's a small minority of my dreams though, and the problem seemed to have disappeared a while ago (at least 2 months?). What exactly do you mean by "clear"?

You already answered me but, I meant clear as in you can clearly see what's going on. Also, do you use Isochronic tones?

Okay, that's what I thought you meant. I thought you were referring to some figurative meaning there O_o

I've tried them in the past with binaural beats; both didn't make that much of a difference in my average mental state. By "past" I mean about two years ago with binaural beats and about a month ago with isochronic tones.

Hahah, as in symbolism or something? I rarely understand half of my dreams. I had a dream book, but my beloved dog chewed it up(I miss her :[) My sister has premonitions in her dreams all the time, tho. It's rare that she's ever wrong. Do you have those? Premonitions?

Anyways, I stopped using Binural Beats after I woke up from forgetting to cut off my iPod one morning, and in one ear I couldn't hear a thing, the other I could barely hear anything. I prefer isochronic, since you don't need headphones for most of it.

Yeah, I thought you were referring to interpretations in terms of symbolism, ha ha ha. And I don't believe in psionics or ESP; none of them have been shown to exist in science, and since I'm a devout follower of science I will not believe in psionics or ESP. So no, I have never had premonitions, just feelings of dejavu and occasional coincidences here and there.

Did you have it on loud or something? Aye, that's also the interesting feature I like about isochronic tones.

I've been very tired this week with essays/projects/finals. Aye, it's kicking me in the arse.

A weird theme that's starting to pop up frequently is frustrating me :\ It's just continuous false awakenings, which aren't very annoying but nonetheless boring. I'll have to think about why I'm having them in the first place. Most likely I won't find an answer, but oh well. I also didn't have time to record my dreams starting from monday-ish night. I'm planning to record them right after I wake up tomorrow in the morning (or night, depends if I'm conscious).

Typing in a kindle is a pain in the ****...

I'm still recording my dreams. There's like what, 30 recordings of my dreams? I don't know,
I think it's somewhere around there. I don't have much to do, so I might type out the recordings in my log. I'm also re~reading »Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming» by Stephen Laberge. I might start doing some deep meditation again for the hell of it. I'm starting to miss those crazy experiences I used to have the whole time a couple of years ago, ha ha ha.

This...is going to suck. Well, here goes the first recording:

Recording #1:
Alright, so apparently all of my **** got deleted and because I'm really tired I'm just going to go and put in everything that I previously recorded...um...so today's dream in the morning is about machinatas in Mexico with my family's Person A and Person B or whatever and, like, I was playing this type of game, King of Fighters, so I was like this witch and I was trying to charge up a new 3-dimensional and I was just **** around magic balls and fire bolts and what not, and, uh, when I got into maximum I moved the joystick buttons to go into this, like, black-ish mode and more like I was able to release an unlimited magic whichnetted. Don't remember why I was there in Mexico...um...and, um, the dream I had two days ago or three...one of those...I really liked. It was like me going over to neighbor's house and, uh, I was requesting a special type of request from, like, these groups of girls, like if I dropped my pants would they......allow my special type of request and they were like, "Okay". And once they saw they were like, "Okay!". So they led me into, um, doh this is across neighbor's house when the white people used to live, and, like, we went into this special bathroom place or whatever. And so we got transported to a, uh, like, this stadium and like, uh, where they announce the games or whatever are the/these records or the observers...reporters...um, on like a back door there's a small space, I think, and, uh, I crawled through and there were like three types of platforms like cushion, metal/wood or something like that, and after that, uh, I crawled through to like a little town and, um, there was this one place with like a metal dude who, like, used to be in a metal band and he was just selling antiques, like rocks or what not, and he even had this one picture of him with his group band who, like, it was the stereotypical one where a dude bangs his head while emo-ish or what not, but the dude on the counter looked alright. Anyways, I was trying to follow these girls into a special club because they ran it or whatever and I saw their owner who was small and I wasn't able to go in because I said I had to go to the bathroom. So I went to the bathroom and tried closing it with locks, but it wouldn't lock. So it was kind of embarrassing but not too embarrassing either. It is starting to come back to me, a dream I had this morning also, something about taking showers in the bathroom or what not and I might have been embarrassed, I'm not sure, but, um, anyways I was in the bathroom trying to lock it and what not, you know and it wouldn't lock, something about people barging in and talking to me, or something like that. Anyways there was this one girl that I was attracted to and she kind of looks like that junior in my school that also goes to Organization who's Race A and there's only one Race A person, I think. And, um, so she didn't have, like, make-up on her face or whatever. And her hair was more black-ish and her eyes were a little bit more rounder than normal, and, um, I think that's about it. I'm not sure though. Also, what I usually do to go to sleep is first I relax and calm down, you know. Put some ear muffs or whatever I have. But this is relatively new, so I haven't given it too much of a thought. But, um, once I do that, um, I just close my eyes and look around and think of nothing and if that doesn't work then what I usually do is that I relax, thinking about sleeping energy coming into me and breathing out, like, um, the energy or whatever, or thoughts, that don't go away, into the ground. And also, um, what I might do is that I focus on one thought, and um, and just let go of that thought and, like, I just place attention on one thought only, and I just place myself in first-person perspective and I try to go lift it all the way and what not and, um, this one is also relatively new, but like I imagine myself as a tree and, um, just with my feet going down in the ground and my arms also reaching up into the sky, or whatever, just acting as a tree, just going to get myself calmed down. Then once I did that I just go and, uh, I imagine myself just like, uh, dissipating and just like my mind staying left and just molding whatever it wants until it's seen. So, uh, yeah I'm going to sleep because I'm tired...

Recording #1 with commentary:
*In a grumpy voice*
Alright, so apparently all of my **** got deleted and because I'm really tired I'm just going to go and put in everything that I previously recorded...um...so today's dream in the morning is about machinatas (I don't know how to spell it in Spanish. It's pretty much an arcade machine) in Mexico with my family's Person A (I don't want to reveal my actual cousin's name) and Person B or whatever and, like, I was playing this type of game, King of Fighters, so I was like this witch (yes, feminine version. It was this character--->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrigan_Aensland) and I was trying to charge up a new 3-dimensional (I know this makes no sense. Don't know what the hell I was trying to say there, since this was three...four months ago?) and I was just **** around magic balls and fire bolts and what not, and, uh, when I got into maximum (as in the special) I moved the joystick buttons to go into this, like, black-ish mode (like what this character does, but in marvel vs capcom and he goes into this reddish form --->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strider_Hiryu) and more like I was able to release an unlimited magic whichnetted (can't understand, think it was two words. Sounds like "whichnetted" or something like that). Don't remember why I was there in Mexico...um...and, um, the dream I had two days ago or three...one of those...I really liked. It was like me going over to neighbor's house and, uh, I was requesting a special type of request from, like, these groups of girls (sex, obviously. The house is across from my street), like if I dropped my pants would they......allow my special type of request and they were like, "Okay". And once they saw they were like, "Okay!". So they led me into, um, doh this is across neighbor's house when the white people (now Latinos live in it) used to live, and, like, we went into this special bathroom place or whatever. And so we got transported to a, uh, like, this stadium and like, uh, where they announce the games or whatever are the/these records or the observers...reporters...um, on like a back door (I was originally in an open field. I think I was referring to the bleachers/stands when I talked about observers or reporters. When I was talking about announcers, I was referring to the small room they're in that are above the bleachers. I was saying that there's a backdoor near that room) there's a small space, I think, and, uh, I crawled through and there were like three types of platforms like cushion, metal/wood or something like that, and (I know I only mentioned two. I think the third might have been wood, but I didn't put too much attention at that moment of the dream. I am also referring to the inside of the backdoor. It was as if I was crawling through the inside of an air vent and the air vent itself was made of three types of materials) after that, uh, I crawled through to like a little town (after getting out of the air vent I was placed in front of a small town. The whole event is like the first Narnia movie; I open a closet door, move through a little bit, and all of a sudden I'm confronted with snow! Except the closet was an air vent and I came to a town instead of a snowy area) and, um, there was this one place with like a metal dude who, like, used to be in a metal band (a dude who likes heavy metal, NOT an actual person who's made of metal) and he was just selling antiques (I went inside a store owned by a metal dude who sold antiques), like rocks or what not, and he even had this one picture of him with his group band who, like, it was the stereotypical one where a dude bangs his head while emo-ish or what not, but the dude on the counter looked alright. Anyways, I was trying to follow these girls (the girls who I was attracted towards) into a special club because they ran it or whatever and I saw their owner who was small and I wasn't able to go in because I said I had to go to the bathroom. So I went to the bathroom and tried closing it with locks, but it wouldn't lock. So it was kind of embarrassing but not too embarrassing either. It is starting to come back to me, a dream I had this morning also, something about taking showers in the bathroom or what not and I might have been embarrassed, I'm not sure, but, um, anyways I was in the bathroom trying to lock it and what not, you know and it wouldn't lock, something about people barging in and talking to me, or something like that. Anyways there was this one girl that I was attracted to and she kind of looks like that junior in my school that also goes to Organization (I'm not revealing the organization I go to after-school as an extra-curricular activity) who's Race A (too little of that specific race...) and there's only one Race A person, I think. And, um, so she didn't have, like, make-up on her face or whatever. And her hair was more black-ish and her eyes were a little bit more rounder than normal (I actually said "neuro" or something extremely similar to that word. Normal fits into the context of the situation), and, um, I think that's about it. I'm not sure though. Also, what I usually do to go to sleep is first I relax and calm down, you know. Put some ear muffs or whatever I have. But this is relatively new, so I haven't given it too much of a thought. But, um, once I do that, um, I just close my eyes and look around and think of nothing and if that doesn't work then what I usually do is that I relax, thinking about sleeping energy (it was easier for me to understand what the hell I was talking about) coming into me and breathing out, like, um, the energy or whatever, or thoughts, that don't go away, into the ground. And also, um, what I might do is that I focus on one thought, and um, and just let go of that thought and, like, I just place attention on one thought only, and I just place myself in first-person perspective and I try to go lift it all the way and what not (I have no effin' clue what I meant here) and, um, this one is also relatively new, but like I imagine myself as a tree and, um, just with my feet going down in the ground and my arms also reaching up into the sky, or whatever, just acting as a tree, just going to get myself calmed down. Then once I did that I just go and, uh, I imagine myself just like, uh, dissipating and just like my mind staying left and just molding whatever it wants until it's seen (hypnagogic hallucinations and trying to control that process). So, uh, yeah I'm going to sleep because I'm tired...

Before the recording I was trying to find the right method for me that can knock me out within minutes. I experimented a lot during that time of excursion, finding which technique works best for me, which two I should combine, and which ones I should scrap because they are crap. I don't feel like typing a grammatically correct recording. My head hurts from pausing and starting my recording way too much. I might not type down my dream entry next time for word-for-word, since it takes up way too much time. The commentaries won't be necessary if I type up the main gist of what I was referring towards in my dream entries and the time I was recording them.

Date of entry: 3/10/10

Entry #: 1 out of 36


I'll try to type up my next dream entry sometime later tomorrow. This project might take me a while...

I love reading about dreams. I read every word of that. Love it.

It's kind of interesting, too. Do you get the sense of being omniscient in dreams?

What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets.

If it's too late to show the pearl, you will gaze at the clam and ponder it's drabness.
