  2. Sometimes months if not years can go by where you do not experience sleep paralysis and then suddenly it happens with just days or hours apart. There are theories that suggest that stress can cause sleep paralysis. Have you got a dog or cat that you can share your bed with? Just a slighty touch from a paw will end the sleep paralysis, I know this from when my cat was still alive, sometimes if she was awake she could sense me tensing all up during a SP experience, she touched me and I woke up.
  3. It can get pretty intens, I know. I get them more frequent and trust me, you get used to it. But as for what is on my mind right now: I am not far from completing the first part (Book 1) of the what seems to be turning into a very long novel. The most complicated part so far was describing anti gravity energy in connection with a mass evacustion from a planet destroyed due to a full scale nuclear war. I think that I managed to describe it so it will make sense to most readers...I hope.
  4. Been there, done that...since I was eight years old, so I know exactly how it feels. Rest assured, scary as it is then it is completely harmless.

    Pets

    Comming from a person who used to have rats as pets then I see nothing weird or nasty in having a bird as a pet. I am just a little concerned if she won't feel too confined in her new home, are you planning to release her back into the wild one day?
  6. I have been to more than my fair share of gigs, too and no, I cannot recall any imstruments being smashed up on stage either, or that I simply found it so unimpressiv that I have forgotten all about it. As to how I feel about it: punk rock, hard rock and metal is energy to me and especially live, it makes me feel high. My way of absorbing this energy feels like entering another realm of exsistance...and I do this in a quiet way. For others this energy might make them feeling very energetic and some what aggressive...so rather take it out on some guitar or drumset than anything else. So yes, if this is the case... granted, I am not a musician myself... then fine by me. And then there are instruments...and instruments: I assume that most people would be pretty pissed off if someone smashed up a Stradivarius violin, but more relax about the same happening to a mass produced instrument.
  7. I do not know about Vampyrique, but my kidneys are just fine. It is not because that I am ill that I eat dandelion leaves, it is because I wish to remain healthy that I do. Dandelion leaves, birch leaves, and stinging nettle leaves are packed with vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and fibres and are anti inflammatory... and well, then they are free, too. So why not eat free healthy food? The only two reason are that they are in abundance and that gathering an eating them is linked to an age old stigma of poverty thus no one can make a profite of them (dandelions and stinging nettles tend to grow where the hell they want). If you want antiseptic, then you need to go for honey...
  8. Eating and drinking healthy along side regular exercising will get you a long way. And some herbal remedies are great for prevention... Stinging nettles for strong lungs and healthy hair, flaxseeds against artheritis and psoriasis, birch leaves against inflammation, dandelion leaves for overall health etc: all these can be part of a normal healthy diet...and well, they certainly work for me! But I guess since there isen't a lot of money to be made from very common greenary then nobody could be bothered to do some more medical/scientific research since almost all such research is funded by the manufactors of modern medicine: I have read that the same can be said about alternatives to penicillin. Nobody is funding new research since people are still making a profite from penicillin thus too blinded by the great mammon to think a decade or two ahead.

    Books?

    Some where there must be a book about the strange nature of vampires, if not then I shall write one. Consider yourself my muse, Vampyrique.
  10. Now even the cards cannot explain why someone would do such a nutty thing as leaving Transylvania in exchange for shitty little Whitby??? Do not tell me that you are still smitten with that little plain prude, Mina????

    Books?

    Currently reading... Blameless by Gail Carriger: cool supernatural steampunk featuring a head strong leading lady, her naughty Werewolf of a husband, and her...in every sense of the word...gay Vampire friend. Taken by Jet Mykles: Supernatural fantasy porn featuring lots and lots and lots over sizzling hot Dark Elf men... and some of them have whips....
  13. I am not that keen on job interviews either, not because I do not know what to say, but because so many employers are just lousy interviewers. But to calm my nerves I always imagine the worst case scenario, which in a job interview case is that they will tell you that you are not right for the job and should they act rude during the interview well then you can always get up and leave. Any scenario or situation: prepair for the worst, hope for the best. It might sound pessimistic, but it has saved me a lot of trouble.
  14. Right, Vampyrique... have it your way then, you cheeky little buggar!!!! With in two seconds of reading this you will encounter The Princess of Swords and yeah, she speaks her bloody mind. So don't get sassy with me And all this she has learnt from her bitchy mom, the Queen of Swords who never acts nice, just to be polite! Today they met The Magician who along side with The High Priestess talked back to the one The Devil warned me about. Been a pleassure serving you, Vampyrique P. S Didn't understand a damn of all this? Well, don't blame me, it was Vampyrique who requested a public tarot reading...not I

    Books?

    I must admit that I have not really begun to read it yet :-$ I bought it mainly because I am writing a fantasy/science fiction novel where I am amongst other things featuring space flight and interdimensional travel based on vimanas and hindu legend as described in The Vedas...so I will be studying it as my novel progresses. But I have flicked through the pages, the typing is small and it just seems to go on and on, but I bet it is interesting so despite everything I look forward to getting started.
  16. I have seen the trailer and well...I think I'll just go a scratch my bum in some corner instead!!!!!
  17. Well, considering that all theories are plausibel then it might even be just two dimensions overlapning. There are stories of people experiencing glitches in time and space, in fact I think that I have experienced it myself a few times. As for more on infrasound then Wikipedia has a good page about it.
  18. God damn motorbikes!!!! They have been keeping me up late the last few nights...been watching to many old biker movies online on the expense of my beauty sleep But anyway, please to meet you, welcome to forum, and all that "shyte"
  19. I like the old stuff like Loudness and early X-Japan etc. But other wise, let's just say that my knowledge on more recent Asian metal is very limited. I did however stumble over an interesting band from Mongolia on YouTube recently called The Hu which delivers some fine folk metal.
  20. Belladonna and aconite by Inkubus Sukkubus. I just cannot stop listening to it and I fear that I may end up wearing that tiny, but extremely important part of the CD down. This has happend before... I litterally wore WASP's piece of master work, Helldorado down until it hypothetically speaking crumbled and died in my hands.
  21. Right...that is a bit creepy, I give you that!!! Since I was eight years old I have been experiencing sleep paralysis and I am not afraid to admit that for the first many years it scared the hell out of me until I got the chance to do some research and find out what really was going. Sleep paralysis is basically the opposite both physically and mentally of deep meditation...so no biggie really. But it does open up to things and sensations that you are normally perhaps not sensitive to and simply therefor do not registre in everyday life. And no, despite what you may think then sleep paralysis is quite common and has known about since time in memorial: the term night mare stems from the Norse mareridt.. which referes to a mare (succubus or incubus creature orr even an old hag) "ridning" you meaning sitting on your chest which referes to the paralysed sensation that you experience during sleep paralysis. And in Asia the term ghost dreaming has been used for centuries to describe sleep paralysis. So regardless of how you feel should you have experienced sleep paralysis then you are far from the only one! So you say that you start out hearing a static sound, then this sound is mixed with a child's voice, and then you feel a presence of somebody standing next to you... and it takes place in the very early hours of the morning? That sounds a hell of a lot like sleep paralysis to me! Do you feel paralysed when experiencing this? Because if you do then I am willing to bet my life that it is a true case of sleep paralysis! As to what sleep paralysis is in a metaphysical sense and if you can have the same recurring sleep paralysis experience like a child asking "Are you there?" then I cannot offer any absolute truths: some say that sleep paralysis is nothing more than dreams who have overstayed their welcome so to speak whilst others claim that for a breif moment (and yes, a sleep paralysis experience or attack depending on how you approach it last less than a few minutes even though they can feel like an eternity). But as with meditation which is the mirror image so to speak of sleep paralysis then the astral world will never be able to harm you physically!!!! And finally if you can have a recurring dream then there is no reason why you cannot have a recurring sleep paralysis experience. There are however a few things that you can do to prevent or trigger a sleep paralysis experience; Going without enough sleep for more than a day or two. Heavy, deep, and dreamless sleeping as a result of a period of too little sleep is, if you are prone to sleep paralysis, an invite to just that because the last cycle of the REM sleep in a normal sleep rythm tries to compensate for the lack of REM sleep the previous nights/days and there for goes a bit overboard. Eating too much - and too heavy food just before bedtime The after math of an aura migraine Stress Now I am not saying that what you have experienced is all due to sleep paralysis...full stop!!! So if we assume that it is not the case, then is there any way that you can record this sound phenomenon? Because if you do manage to snatch up anything then no, it is clearly not your mind which is a bit off. And I would also look into this infrasound if I was you as itt seems like something that could trigger sleep paralysis too. Do you know of any recently newdevices or occurences near you that might be the cause?
  22. I admit to buying a record or CD just by looking at it, but in the majority of cases they have been second hand purchases: in around 80% of these purchases I have not regretted splashing a bit of money out. Liking the cover was after all how I discovered WASP, Astarte, and Charta 77 (Swedish punk band). However I have never been well off financially speaking so when I have had the chance then I have prelistend to a band before buying any of their music, which is a lot easier today with YouTube. In the past most of my CD buying took place after gigs at band stores.
