    Oh, as for demons and ghosts. I remain eternally on the fence. You see I've had experiences and am open minded but I can't know if what I've experienced was paranormal or my imagination running wild.

    That being said, this newer method of making contact with spirits called a 'ghost box' is most interesting. It's just a random sweep through radio frequencies and allegedly you can pick up the voices of the spirit world. Anyway, I was watching a video of a guy doing just that the other week, in fact several videos featuring the ghost box and afterwards I found myself typing 'Ghost box debunked' into google. You never guess what happened as I looked at the results for debunking ghost boxes.. My radio, which was off, turns itself on! I almost crapped my pants.

    like i said before - maybe the people who are speaking with ghosts/demons are really telling the truth.

    in the past i had a friend who speaked with angels - i thought he is a weirdo.

    but nowadays i dont judge this. maybe some people have the ability to see things from another world.

    why not?

    baseball bat is not so effective. i will take a machine-gun under my blanket. i hope i will not erase some people around me in the night. :)

    edit:
    speaked?! spoke of course!

    I think I've cracked it. The reason ghosts are always so pissed off and angry- Without physical bodies they are just floating mopers who are constantly pissed off about not being able to have sex.

    Ah, anyway. Like I said, be open minded. Not sure sleep paralysis is down to demons or ghosts though. I think it's all down to way our bodies work when coming out of sleep. Scary shit though. And to get a wet dream in the same nights sleep was odd.

    lol - that was good - somehow this statement is known.

    ok better no machine-gun under the blanket. maybe some whiskey and a good cigar for the demon.

    or i will call the ghostbusters next time. they know how to catch the ghosts. :rolleyes:

    scream like a bitch? no way i will scream like a spartan! :)

    i dont think screaming in the head will help in this case.

    playing poker with them is a good solution.

    a compelling case for the x-files.

    Maybe off topic - and I don't want to start a theological argument guys, just trying to be positive in the light of all this gloomy talk about nightmares.


    I see the Garden of Eden story as having two levels. One relates to origins and creation but the other is re-enacted in every life. There is a stage when the newborn has just been "created" and is innocent "in the garden". Then as the concept of self and others kicks in we all favour ourselves over others so even toddlers get kicked out of the garden of innocence as they fight over toys or cry for what they've just lost. It's not evil as such, it's just the human condition. As self interested adolescents and adults we often behave even more selfishly and reinforce our status as a long way from the garden. However acts of kindness and generosity go some way to reversing things. I think here at nofap we are trying to unwind one particular aspect of human nature and choosing not to be self indulgent but reclaim our freedom. Just a thought - as Jmark says - mythic can mean true at an even deeper level. As regards the creation itself and deeper issues of redemption that's for another forum...

    Hope everyone gets a good night's sleep this evening!

    ok my serious explanation for sleep paralysis:

    1. our brain (or subconsciousness) has a malfunction or is playing tricks on us

    2. there are ghosts and demons out there - another world or whatever

    both would be ok for me - i have no control over this happenings.

    and madrileno this is not gloomy. this is thrilling. :)

    Here's the ACTUAL explanation of sleep paralysis:

    During sleep, your body alternates between REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep. One cycle of REM and NREM sleep lasts about 90 minutes. NREM sleep occurs first and takes up to 75% of your overall sleep time. During NREM sleep, your body relaxes and restores itself. At the end of NREM, your sleep shifts to REM. Your eyes move quickly and dreams occur, but the rest of your body remains very relaxed. Your muscles are "turned off" during REM sleep. If you become aware before the REM cycle has finished, you may notice that you cannot move or speak.

    I guess this cuts the theory of demons and ghosts in half.

    beauty i accept this explanation - it is a little bit better than my attempt. :)

    sounds rational for me. now i can sleep becalmed.

    Thanks for this. I was actaully well aware of what happens. The other theory involving demons and ghosts is maybe for the most our imaginations running wild during this hyper-alert dream sleep that comes with it.

    Still was strange to have it happen with a wet dream though.
