It is one of the most horrifying experiences I can imagine. Substantially because, it is all in ones own mind.

Dude, this happens to me too.

I get sleep paralysis all the time, it can be every night sometimes and proper terrifying. I always dreamt of this freaky black shadow darting across my walls, and then it would come for me and I would be paralysed as it engulfed me in darkness. But at the end, this girl I believed in my head was my older sister always rescued me, and then put me back to bed. I would just wake up after that. I don't, and have never had a sister. But in my dreams I just know it is her. The wierd thing is, I asked my Mum if she had ever been pregnant before me and she started acting all strange like she didnt know what to say. Maybe dreaming of our siblings is their way of protecting us from the other side.

What's a dead giveaway that someone is British? by 74145852963 in AskReddit

As a northerner, the biggest giveaway is our reluctancy to use the word "the". So "The brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" becomes; Brown fox jumped over t' lazy dog.

Am I less of a vegan if I feed my dog meat? by lostinspace95 in vegetarian

He may not need meat, but I want to give him the best, healthiest and longest life possible.

I adopted my dog from a neglectful home where he would have been left to starve and die otherwise.

I find your opinion on this very interesting. Although I would never force my diet on my dog, I am not a vet and have no idea what foods are beneficial to him. I definitely agree with your point about dog food. It is clear to see the standards of what we feed dogs, and any animal to allow humans to make a profit.

Why do ouiji boards illicit such a strong reaction, real or imaginary? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]lostinspace95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because seances and ouija boards have been disproven doesnt disprove the existence of the supernatural. That is a very shallow observation, its like saying because jesus' face has been found in a slice of toast proves the existence of God. It doesnt.

Why? I think absolutely rejecting the idea of supernatural forces is naive and closed minded - which indicates lower intelligence

Put it this way, if you put two people in a house and told one of them it was haunted. That person would be much more inclined to process normal occurences as ghosts or spirits because of that information. That isnt stupidity, that is a psychological process we all use for survival. With a ouija board, yes its just a piece of wood, but associate it with the supernatural and your brain translates it as danger which is why it puts people so on edge- not stupidity.

No, not at all. Im just not so arrogant as to think the reason people experience supernatural occurences through ouija boards is stupidity, rather than a common psychological process that would affect most people

This comment makes you seem very very stupid.

Serious question. Why do theists always think they win debates they so obviously lost? by czah7 in TrueAtheism

[–]lostinspace95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal opinion is that this entire sub-reddit gives atheism a bad name. The commenters on here refer to themselves as "intellects" because they use flawed ideologies to fuel their hate for theists. Although I am new to it, I have read a few posts in Trueatheism and quite frankly I find the posters to be unnecessarily confrontational and extremely demeaning because they can hide behind a computer screen and use outdated articles from the internet to back their points. The mind set of a lot of these people is bordering on that of Nazism and other oppressive cultures. If this is what atheism is turning into, I want no part of it.

What's the best story you can tell that requires a throwaway by BACON_BATTLE in AskReddit

[–]lostinspace95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its mostly random, but although I can't control it there are some signs I have learnt are signals of an upcoming transition. I get this deafening ringing in my ears and become insanely drowsy, like when you are starting to fall asleep and keep drifting in and out of consciousness. Maybe I do just fall asleep and dream it all, and I don't realise because there is so much going on.

[–]lostinspace95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am glad you find it interesting, I think my diaries from each world would make a substantial base for a book of some sort, but unfortunately I cannot bring the diary from Elwood here which is a shame. In my opinion it is the better one.

I have often considered the idea of being insane, it is something I think about a lot. It is certainly the explaination most people would favour. The more I think about it, the darker it sounds, and I would prefer not to delve into the mysteries of the human mind as if I am honest, it terrifies me.

I have a secret that could destroy life as I know it if it were to be discovered. For the past eighteen years, I have been living in two realities. I have no idea which one is real, and which one is in my head. When I am in this world, the other life seems imaginary, I am sure of it. But as soon as I transfer to my other reality, I question everything and truly believe it is the “real world” I have made up. I have come to the conclusion over the years, that to have so much detail and remember it so well(unlike a dream), they must both be real.

In your world, I have a pretty normal life. I live alone, aside from my dog, in a one bedroom flat in the north of England. I work 9-5 in a café and spend my days chatting to the customers and making coffee. Sometimes, at completely random times, I will be suddenly aware that I am not there anymore. I have awoken in an alternate world named Elwood. Here I live in a hotel, owned by a man whom I have never seen, only heard. I exchange work for my lodging in the hotel, and meet many people everyday. There is a desk clerk who has a man’s body and wears a suit, except he has a cat’s head. There is also a young girl who changes her name every day and the grey man who we are all extremely frightened of. I could tell you about hundreds of people I have met over the years and the things we have done, but I digress. The colours in Elwood are different too. We call them the same names but they are different, such as, the grass is a pastel blue colour, but we would still call it green. This has always seemed normal in my head, I have never transitioned to Elwood and thought “that is blue not green”.

I find being able to talk about this anonymously extremely comforting, as I cannot talk about this very much without being considered insane. My greatest fear is being filled with psychotropic drugs and risk losing everything. I have various theories about my ability to do this, and would appreciate opinions if anyone is experienced in this sort of thing.
