Thread: Allright knowitalls(with due respect of course) answer this

Well theres a dream Ive never forgotten because it was the weirdest dream Ive had my entire life. I was about 12 years old, and Id fallen asleep next to my Dad the night before. My father turns on the bedroom light at about 7am and Im still asleep, all of a sudden I clearly wake up, I see my father next to the sink brushing his hair, with a read sweater and jeans on, looking in the mirror, so Im awake (or so I think) when I open my mouth to talk to him, I cant, and i get very frustrated and scared, a couple of seconds later I wake up (for real this time) and very scared I see my father next to the sink, brushing his hair with his red sweater and jeans exactly like in the dream. It was one of the creepiest feelings and experiences in my life.

Ok maybe not the creepiest theres another one and it tops it. I kept on dreaming one night that I was wrestling with an evil creature and I was beating him, it was like a never ending fight though,(however I could not feel the contact of anything at this point, it was like a story being played out on tv) ok so I guess in that dream I became Lucid, and suddenly I know im in my bed sleeping, when Im trying to get up out of bed suddenly I feel this hairy strong arms pushing me down on my chest, in the most horrible manner, I felt claws too, and I begin to yell for help but nothing comes out of my mouth, it felt like this went on for about 2 or 3 minutes, so I just stayed quiet and began praying for help in my mind, and it went away. If that was not something out of this world, then I dont understand where the hell that could come from, I highly doubt my mind is capable of making something up so horrible. No I did not watch anything remotely resembling that during that day or week even.

You heard him get up, dreamt about it, and intelligently guessed what the most likely clothing was that he'd be wearing.
Or perhaps your memory was altered by the fact after you saw what he was wearing.
(It has been shown to happen)

You underestimate your mind.
I had a spate of recurring wolf nightmares one night as a child. I had neither seen nor heard anything about wolves prior to the nightmares.

Psychic example?
No, it's the way your mind dredges up memories and thoughts that most need renewing (IMO)

Then again, maybe you're actually psychic

I am not sure if you are aware of (SP) -sleep paralysis. That is what I think is the case in your first dream.
You had actually woke up and could see. Being in this state can be very vague at times, giving you the impression you were still asleep. When the sleep paralysis subsides you fully awoke and saw what you had already seen. Heres is a list of acronyms that has a brief discription of SP.

As far as the second dream.

I have underestimated my mind and the subconcsious and its ability to create many times.

I'm going to have to fully agree with Howetzer on this one, what your describing sounds alot like sleep paralysis.

SP seems the most logical and most likely explaination.

Good-Job Howetzer, couldn't have said that better myself.

As Howetzer put it, it's probably sleep paralysis. Here's a list of symptoms from the wikipedia article:

[list][*]Vividness[*]Fear[*]Sensing a \"presence\" (often malevolent)[*]Pressure/weight on body (especially the chest)[*]Impending sense of doom/death[*]Auditory hallucinations (often footsteps or indistinct voices, or pulsing noises)[*]Visual hallucinations such as people or shadows walking around the room[*]Floating sensation (sometimes associated with out-of-body experiences)[*]Tactile hallucinations (such as a hand touching or grabbing)[*]Falling sensation[*]Vibration
[list]

You experienced vividness and fear and (perhaps) Visual Halliucations. This is enough factors - it fufils the entire \"most common\" category - for it to be sleep paralysis. It's the most common of the lot and is a kind of cut-and-dry one. The next one however is more intresting:

Ok maybe not the creepiest theres another one and it tops it. I kept on dreaming one night that I was wrestling with an evil creature and I was beating him, it was like a never ending fight though,(however I could not feel the contact of anything at this point, it was like a story being played out on tv) ok so I guess in that dream I became Lucid, and suddenly I know im in my bed sleeping, when Im trying to get up out of bed suddenly I feel this hairy strong arms pushing me down on my chest, in the most horrible manner, I felt claws too, and I begin to yell for help but nothing comes out of my mouth, it felt like this went on for about 2 or 3 minutes, so I just stayed quiet and began praying for help in my mind, and it went away.[/b]

Once again sleep paraylsis or perhaps a false awakening in this case. This experience fufils the entire most common category and common category and half of the \"fairly common\" category (see article with categories).

If that was not something out of this world, then I dont understand where the hell that could come from, I highly doubt my mind is capable of making something up so horrible. No I did not watch anything remotely resembling that during that day or week even.[/b]

Oh, you'd be very surprised what your mind can make up.

The know-it-alls have spoken and nailed it within the first few posts.

neveragain if theres any knowitall here its me and i dont know it all. in the first dream you talk of seeing with your eyes closed. this was probably an obe. you must have been in your physical body but experiencing them as the spiritaul. as for this i am not all that sure of but i am confident. the second dream you are talking of with the weird monster i am very confident though. i think this was not something created by your mind. and here is my proof. you say you prayed and it went away correct? well this is because evil things like satan and stuff cant remain in a place of prayer. you can find evidence of this in the lost books of the bible under adam and eve that i can recall right now and probably in the modern day bible. if you need help or are curious pm me and i might be able to get it for you. i have had experiences with this before but in my case it was satan himself. what im wondering is why he was so interested in you. what is your importance?

Have you ever entertained the Idea that Satan is also a creation of your mind? And if believed to be so would produce the same result.
That is far from proof in my book Oath.

yes i have and unfortunately i dont care what u believe. please dont bother me again. obviously im not stupid so dont you think ive thought of things like that?

Hey Oathie...

i really dont care for that ramu. makes me wonder what kind of moral qualities you reallly have. i think you need to ask yourself that question as well and stop living in this damn fantasy world.



(im gonna get a lot of shit for this one)

I was not aware that my beliefs were part of this topic.
And I certainly don't feel that you think before you speak. Or type in this case.
But I won't let you drag me into one of your ignorant confrontations

ROFLMAO @ Ramuchan!!

Anyway, as Howwie said, this has nothing to do with our beliefs. It's based on evidence, albeit anecdotal.
(Most evidence regarding dreams tends to be always anecdotal, unfortunately )

[EDITED FOR FRIENDLINESS' SAKE]

Alright! Break it up you two, or we could have trouble w/Seeker! If religion is bugging people, I believe that it should be a rule not to mention it here!! Take a deep breath & calm down. And make it up to each other, too .

Which \"two\" are you referring to? As you can see, it's not just me...

Actually, there is a rule that religion should only be mentioned in Philosophy, but like it or not, it being so intrinsic to some people, it's gonna get mentioned elsewhere...

Actually, it wasn't religion that started this spat, it was Oathie himself, who is extremely religious -- and seems to have some sort of "thing" against most other people that don't agree with him 100 percent right away --, hence why Wicked and I retaliated with the Jesus-baums.

Anyway, unless I get provoked further, I'm not angry at anyone anymore.

Ramu I disagree with the message of your picture post....














I think Jesus would think that Oath is a cunt as well.

HA! im hilarious

Its an interesting paradigm to explore the whole good/evil thing. I think sometimes it makes for more exciting dreams when you think it was satan coming after you or that somehow using the name of Jesus made the bad guys go away. But maybe they went away because you are god in your dreams and you really believe that the name of God has power. Whoever suggested this was being pretty profound I think. It leads me to wonder, we know what signs accompany sleep paralyis and that it is a state between waking and sleep, but has anyone seen a good scientific article on why these pretty scary things happen in SP?

I remember waking up one time at my grandmothers (I used to live with her) and it was late in the evening I was wiped out from working at the vacuum cleaner factory all day (dont ask). Well so I awoke, paralyzed, in the pitch black, suddenly a door of light opens and this featureless black figure of a person is coming towards me out of the light. So I am scared shitless and try with all my might to move because I know the light chord is just inches away. It goes on for about thirty seconds then suddenly I can move my arm only and pull the chord.

I've had a lot of those deals, when I was young and doing drugs (stupid is how I like to refer to it now) I would get sleep paralysis all the time. It seemed sometimes like it was every morning. Anyways, I think if you realize that is probably not a supernatural experience you might be able to explore it a little when it happens. Its definitely unique. Like the time those little three foot tall guys were pulling on my limbs while I sat there paralyzed on my belly on the living room floor. Little fuckers, if I ever catch them bastards (EJ shakes his fist in air!)
