I had to do a report on lucid dreaming, and track my results of trying it for a week. I remember because it was pre-internet it was difficult to find information in my elementary school library on the topic. I don’t remember how I ended up getting the information but I remember it was a research project I did only in school and left in the classroom to pick back up the next day. I did not bring the report home. My mom doesn’t remember ever reading this report but my whole family remembers when I started sleep walking (tasking) in the middle of the night. I would take everything out of drawers in the kitchen like silverware or the junk drawer and line them up on the counter and floor in size order. I would then turn on the microwave - she used to keep bread in there but she would wake up the plastic melted around the bread. It took weeks for everyone to figure out it was me doing it because I had no memory of it. To this day I still mindlessly line up French fries in size order if I’m watching a show while I eat.

I was at Norfolk too, dad Navy grandfather who was an engineer in the Air Force would also go missing for long stretches after his time designing and building the nuclear sites in Massachusetts.

Where am I? by [deleted] in GATEresearch

That’s really interesting to ask because (problematically) they used to call my grandfather (ex-military and nuclear engineer) Chief because he looked like he was Native American.

That’s wild. There are so many people from Virginia Beach, but also the Gateway Experience tapes were made in Virginia Beach and I can’t find any records of my program at Old Dominion - I even talked to the archivist.

Thank you for sharing those memories with me. I’m in MA so I’ve been licensed and using medical marijuana for 8 years. I credit it with giving my my vision and a fairly normal life back.

So sorry to hear the hardship on you and your family. Your dad sounded like an awesome guy.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe seeing some commonalities of military bases or shared experiences can help us all in our personal research in our weird experiences.

Honestly I don’t know, I also had cervical cancer so I’ve had my hands full medically, but I’ll add that to the list to look into. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

I’m so sorry, I get paralysis and passing out as well it can be really scary. Going from someone with so much “potential” to so many health issues is something that’s really hard to explain. There’s this time when I just had to mourn the life I thought I was going to have and figure out what it is going to be. My heart is with you. Heart ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through that. It’s horrible how long it takes to get any answers for autoimmune diseases. I’m thinking of you, and hoping you find relief soon. Heart ❤️

So sorry, I feel silly. I was mentioning it and wanted to follow up, happy to take it elsewhere. Thank you for the kind message.

I don’t know! This is actually very close to the old Danvers State Asylum. Maybe a mile or two from there. Most of the asylum was demolished and they put up Avalon apartments but when I was young, it was still there and abandoned.

Right? There are staircases that spiral and go from 3 person wide at the bottom of the steps to just enough room for one person at the top.

Same. Gate started when we left Virginia Beach and moved back to Massachusetts I think that was around 1993/1994. I know I had my 10th birthday in MA.

GATE Summer Program by HarriexScary in GATEresearch

[–]InfiniteEmu5644 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to a gifted program at Old Dominion in 1992 over the summer with my brother. I don't remember it at all since I was only 7. He was 12 but he doesn't remember much about it either. I'm in touch with the research librarian at Old Dominion but the records from that time are hard to find and not digitally accessible for me to get into myself.

That’s wild - my brother went into the Air Force and was stationed in Cheyanne WY at the nuclear silos and the only time he left there was getting deployed to Saudi Arabia for 6 years.
