PaladinFoster, I was going through My Documents and I found this gem.

PaladinFoster;5529286 said Fuck, you wanna know why I'm still a virgin? Because I had almost nothing in the way of self-confidence, stunted social skills, and obscure interests that put off a good deal of girls. And I don't even fucking care anymore. Sure, my self-confidence has improved a lot, and I have made some strides in social skills(mostly through the worst way, trial and error), but that's simply not enough. I'm not even looking for sex in the first place. All I ever wanted in life was for someone to tell me that I'm not a total loser, that I'm not a piece of shit, that I actually mean something to someone. I want to be able to look in their eyes and tell they actually mean it, that they're not just saying it out of pity or familial obligation. And you know what? People don't do that. People are 90% assholes, 10% kind-hearted persons. The only reason I even get up in the morning is because I love my few friends and I want to get out of school and into a job I enjoy one day. This world is a cold, unforgiving, uncaring, fucking terrible place with few bright sides. It's bullshit, but I have to live in it, and I'm going to do that whether someone thinks I'm worth it or not. Virginity means nothing, only that someone was kind or foolish enough to let you in their pants.

My response to you back then, oh god how high was I:

Fuck man, you didn't have to bust a nut let the shower curtain open in my face.
No judgment here man, it's your choice whenever you wanna do the deed and you should wait until the time is right, otherwise you'll be bitter the rest of your life. Seriously though, and I'm saying this because I care for you brah, I think the sooner you stop thinking of the world as this dark and hollow bubble of hatred and pain, you'll remain positive and realize everyone's going through the same shit. You deal with it and move on you don't dwell on it because the universe is in constant motion and as I ride the wave, I'm bound to hit a few bumps. I get back up on my board and skate off again because I know in the grand scheme of things I'm being led on by a rope tied around me so in the end it's fucking [COLOR="Pink"]inconsequential[/COLOR]. It doesn't matter. Do what you do and I do what I do and universe do how she do and she keep on movin and we keep tryin to catch up to this bitch to cop some bud man and shit she don't even try to slow down, so we have to match her and you cna't win this fight. You gotta give in eventually, but when you do, she still moving and you trying to reassemble fragments together of everything you experienced and you wonder how the hell does it all stay together. What's beyond gravity and what force is keeping all the atoms and shit together? How does society not just break down and how the fuck are things working good enough so that we're not killing each other all the time constantly? That's life man.

For once look it in the fucking eye and tame the beast.

Sleep Paralysis

Tons more stuff happen during sleep paralysis than old hags. Like rape monkeys, babies,and rope with eyes. My friend had a lapse of sleep paralysis while she was tlking to me over Kik. When she came back from it she said it was the scariest thing ever.

Well duh, but the hag is just the most common.

I had my computer chair turn into a NINJA.

Is this chair racist?

So your body makes acid? Seems like it should still be all in your head.

It IS all in your head, except unlike in a dream where you wake up and it goes away, it's there in the room with you, by your bed. Sometimes the entities even interact with you physically. If an old hag was standing to your side IRL right now, would you deny her existence? That's what SP feels like.

Not acid, but if you watch the documentary I recommended to Blitzkrieg/Toe, it could provide some of the answers I don't have.

Not experienced it myself, but I've heard about it. I don't really understand it. Why wouldn't they go away when you realize it's a dream like a normal nightmare does?

Because you're already awake.

I've had one dream that may or may not have been SP. At the start of the dream I woke up in my bed and looked around the room I lived in at the time. Everything around me was pitch black; I couldn't make out any of the windows or junk I had in the room, all I could make out was my bed and a mirror on the wall across from the foot of my bed (Yep, I slept with a mirror constantly facing me back then, which is apparently a dumb thing to do as far as superstitious lore goes). I checked out the bed and mirror and everything seemed fine, the mirror seemed to show a vague reflection of the bed and me (But I couldn't make out any details). I continued to look around, then suddenly had the realization that the figure in the reflection wasn't me (I don't remember how or why I came to this conclusion), then the bed gave out from beneath me and I began falling into a dark abyss.I woke up in the same position I had ended the dream falling in, though I couldn't really tell the dream was over. I still felt like I was falling and was unable to move or open my eyes. It lasted about half a minute and then the falling feeling faded and I was able to move again (heavily disoriented). I'd rank that dream in my top 3 worst nightmares, simply because of the overwhelming panic I felt when I realized I was awake and still felt like I was falling.

That sounds like a particularly realistic nightmare, but not SP. The difference between a dream/nightmare and an SP episode is that while you're SP'd, for all intents and purposes, you are "awake"...just paralyzed and seeing hallucinations.

The fact that you "woke up" after the nightmare was over makes me think it wasn't Sleep Paralysis, since with SP, you'd already be awake. The only thing from which to wake up during SP is the actual paralysis, not sleep. And once you shake out of the paralysis, the hallucinations dissipate. Also you know how MOST of the time, you end up forgetting your dreams within an hour of waking up? I've never once forgotten an SP episode, it seems like a genuine memory rather than a dream.

SP is also where most alien abduction stories come from.Everyone's mind is different, and people translate their fear differently.

Supposedly, yeah. I've heard of the abduction-SP connection, but I've never had the feeling that these entities were going to take me anywhere. They seemed rather content with leaving me in my bed to scare me.

Have you seen a documentary called 'DMT: The Spirit Molecule' ? That offers the best explanation to Alien Abductions I've ever heard.

So after a good 10 minutes of refreshing and not finding the picture I feel like a waste of space.A few images were broken though so I hope it wasn't one of those.

The one time Nat could be useful, he isn't.
