Ruler of the Onited Kingdom. I’ll find my way out…

Yeah, not with that attitude, Richard.

Sometimes I miss that feeling before remembering the full not so great reality of it, though

Tell us!

I’ve had this since my late teens. It’s more common when you have irregular sleep patterns. Nowadays it’s more rare.

It’s scary shit, specially if you panic. In time I’ve learned to control it when I have an episode and mostly succeed. But occasionally I still panic, but not like before.

Wiggling a toe will make the movement come back slowly and if you recognize what’s happening and keep calm you’ll avoid the most disturbing hallucinations. You can even succeed in controlled lucid dreaming during an episode.

I never saw the demon but I have felt its presence. It’s actually not as scary as it sounds. The scariest hallucinations were actually feeling people had entered my room and were intending to hurt me and I couldn’t budge. Once it happened with my old landlord when I was in college. He lived upstairs and I had an episode after falling asleep in my living room. I heard him enter my unit and saw him stand over me talking gibberish. It was so unsettling. I finally moved in a panic and I was by myself. He was actually a very chill guy, best landlord ever.

A few times I was unable to move, alone in the dark, and suddenly moved unexpectedly only to see my girlfriend or room mate towering over me and tell me I was moaning heavily in my sleep and thought I was having a bad nightmare. I’ve wondered how many of the sleep paralysis are actually nightmares and we ARE asleep.

Students? Even teachers are doing it…

The school I work at is implementing this starting next week.

Except it’s a music school so they can use metronome apps. Also, they can use it to send emails to the copy room to print music sheets. Or to use in class when it’s required. Or for whatever exception they can think of. And they actually expect us to enforce it with all these exceptions.

Yeah, I’m sure it will work /s

I had to walk home with a friend in the middle a small city…and still shit my socks. Didn’t sleep right for a week.

Having to walk through the woods after watching THAT movie? No chance…

I could never enjoy Django. It’s not a bad movie, but the way I watch a Tarantino movie you get desensitized by the violence and it becomes part of the humor and charm. I couldn’t do that in Django. The theme was too serious for me. Curiously I didn’t feel the same way in Inglorious Basterds.

Oh, and let’s get this out of the way. I fucking LOVED the Hateful Eight. It’s pure Tarantino.
