Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

[GTO]

So essentially, your brain can't comprehend why it doesn't have control of your body, so it generates a scene, no matter how unrealistic, to try to come up with an outside source of why it doesn't? Interesting. A little bit like phantom limb syndrome, is what it sounds like.

It really sucks how terrifying it is. I'm just glad I'm not one of those people that have this as a recurring problem. Twice in 39 years I can handle. I read that apparently there are people that experience this way more often, sometimes even multiple times a night.

Aren't there some that even "experience" rape in sleep paralysis? I can't even imagine. There's literally no way to prevent it from happening.

(I put experience in quotations because I don't want to undermine actual rape, but also realize those things are so realistic that the trauma will still generally occur. )

I'll take my chances with Strunk.

My man!

I've been out of it last night/this morning due to this female I've been pursuing here at the apartment complex. She is close to GF status. I hope y'all are doing well and are enjoying this awesome spring weather... Well at least I know GTO is enjoying this spring weather... some of y'all need it to warm up a bit. I'm not ready for that. It will be 1,000F in Texas before too long.

Goodnight, RTT VIII...

Pants - have you ever experienced sleep paralysis? If you have, what did your mind create as an explanation?

I've had this happen multiple times over the past 3 years. Always when I sleep on my back. My mind didn't create any illusions. I just couldn't move. I no longer sleep on my back. Hasn't happened since in awhile.

GTO-

I've experienced sleep paralysis once, probably 6-7 years ago. I was living with my ex and I woke up not being able to move my limbs or scream. I can't remember what else happened in my mind, but I remember being terrified. I'd hate for that to be a regular thing.

Facebook told me today that pants and I have been friends for a year now.


Strunk, congrats on the almost girlfriend.

32 today. Gonna watch some Jeaopardy, catch the early bird, then it's off to bed before it gets too late.

Had sleep paralysis a couple times. No freaky killing type things that I remember, not lately though.

Felt like I was at a bar reading the back and forth for a bit.

Biggest question I had, CG said something about a girl she went to elementary with. Wouldn't that be a sister if you're home schooled?

Good for you strunk

I believe CG went to normal school for a while before home schooling. Probably where the normal part of her half-normalness came from.

Sorry I bounced out of the RTT so quickly last night. Wife got a little frisky and well, you know.

Go see how fast you can pull a 120,000 lb 757 at the Des Moines airport. Fundraiser for special olympics.

Yes, it's supposed to be more likely to happen if you sleep on your back. I usually sleep face down or on my side, but do occasionally sleep on my back.

Yeah - I just finished it.

I can't believe I missed a cat conversation! CG - Button is still with us...she's a very sweet little cat.

For those who remember we found a home for her, we changed our minds when we found out that they have no other cats...because several had been taken by coyotes and a couple others were killed by farm equipment. Seemed like it would be a death sentence to send her out there.
