Maybe I'm deluded, I can't tell anymore. Recently i've been toying around crypto. Lost a lot of money on it, No where near financial freedom atm, Thought everything was going to be fine but things aren't working out for me atm. Wondering if it's coming, Wondering if i'm human or an actual god toying around with myself.
I know i'm beyond human, But i don't feel like i can break the physical laws which annoys me as i want to live beyond them by having more health and wealth to enjoy my time here. But seems like I am not having the ideal health and wealth that i'd like to experience. Any tips? This worried mind has been very hard to control.

We're of the impression that there is no procedure to speak of that would teach anyone how to dream. The destitution you've addressed should push you into more of a direct contact with intent. True intent takes no effort from our experience. You may have old patterns built up that are dragging your energy down.
My advice for the latter part would be to take up some kind of practice used for working with "energy" as a means of breaking up those old patterns. What that practice is will depend on you.

What type of energy works are available in this dream? Reiki? Yoga? Breath work? Acupuncture? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Never tried anything in-depth with reiki or acupuncture ourselves. Yoga in most varieties probably works, personally some form of tai chi was attractive to us. Breath work usually accompanies whatever form of practice you end up working with.
As a side-note, one of the themes prevalent in this sub is not focusing on any technique too much that one becomes reliant on it. After making any kind of progress, I would attempt to re-evaluate your intentions in such a way that you naturally don't hold on to patterns for very long.

Let's say I have an intent to be rich or healthy again. I've tried to acknowledge that in my mind, That is happening, it will happen, It has happened. I drop the worry about it, I enjoy the ride as it unfolds?
I try to manipulate crypto prices in the coins i'm invested in yet i see no results instantly. Wondering if that will even work longterm, Seems like the physical limits are too long that i'm unable to feel powerful but rather just a powerless ant sadly. Having experienced this year after year while being positive has been painful. Even when telling myself i've been letting go for so long only to find a brutal awakening that hey it's not working and it's becoming unbearably worse.
It's been quite bad that i've actually started contemplating suicide, I've been in a hotel last week at the 25th floor looked down was wondering, It would be interesting to just end it here jump down and let it end and see what would happen next, However i was horrified by dying early, was worried for the people around me. I wanted to see the story till the end, Yet i was like nah it's just a temp dream they don't exist their me anyway. These thoughts ran across my mind with discussions in myself, it bothered me even as i was home i'd still think of the hotel and jumping down and i'd read more about suicide content. Eventually i stopped i'm feeling better now for the past few days, But I hope i'm not delusional with how i'm handling things. Either way won't matter it's all a phase. I'll probably survive for another 3-5 it would take a lot to end the story, I still got fight in me for now. Even though there's no fight here but continuous suffering.

My first question would be, so you aren't rich and healthy? Or "something happened and now you are no longer those things and have to get back to them?"
As opposed to this (what I have right here, now) that would be "over there" some "other time."
This happens. "It" objectifies what you're trying to subjectify
We enjoy the ride as we unfold >.>
Investing in crypto from my side of things has been more about investing in future infrastructure as a long bet. With the understanding that it could dip significantly at any point but in the long run the technology will be adopted widely enough and with proper infrastructure that the value of what you put in, at the vary least..., should be what you get out without needing to adjust for inflation... and if it gets adopted widely enough there may be a pay off. I too would likely enjoy the benefits of being an over-night quintillionaire, but would I want my legacy built on "a random stroke of 'luck'?" A similar "random stroke of 'luck'" could also then take away your entire legacy.
My apologies on my absence, but if you like crypto and would like to see a middle finger directed at me personally check out the spike in ethereum over the passed couple of weeks and I bet you can guess when I had no access to any way making money off this spike. It hard dropped back to a little more than it was before I was away, just in time for me to come back. :)
I wouldn't get too caught up in the day trading of it. If you are, figure out how to get an algo-trading bot up and running for yourself. Then your computer can pay more attention to it than your human body could ever compare to. I'm pretty sure there is at least one open-source algo-trading bot available, (something about a gecko if I don't spend time digging.)
I hope you're doing alright. It'd be a shame if you cut your feet out from under you before you got to the starting line of the entire extravaganza you have planned.
Love & Hate,
Scew~
