Masterbating on mothers sheets?

This is when the documentary really just disappointed me. I've had sleep paralysis with hallucinations since I was a kid and never have I experienced what the weird bearded guy was describing. He legitimately sounded crazy and off his rocker, as did the guy Chris. Now I've seen, felt, and heard some CRAZY things during sp, but never have I been tickled by static tv aliens or chastised by an old man for jacking off on mom's sheets? Wtf was that? Most everyone else's experience was very familiar to me though. I was looking forward to sharing this film with some good friends of mine who I have shared my own experiences with SP, but now after seeing this crap about the masterbating sheet guy, the film and I will be the laughing stock on that movie night, no thanks. It seems Ascher should have done a bit more research on SP and decided to grab some looney toons that probably have some serious issues beyond sleep paralysis.

I think you have a point mate! They're either exaggerating, talking BS or have mental health issues. Maybe a combination of one or the other even.

I have tea on the moon with santa clause. Do you believe that too?

All you've done is proven my point though, spelling errors aside. You don't believe what I say but will buy anything someone says about the afterlife or demons or whatever because it comforts you knowing there's more out there. You're picking and choosing which completely impossible to prove things you believe, which makes the whole thing meaningless...

openstorage: They're either exaggerating, talking BS or have mental health issues.

Caldonia: How would you know?

Was that you saying you don't believe them too or something? You're defending what they said, and are now saying maybe you don't. Seems like back peddling. The person said it could possibly be mental health issues which implies it's not their fault anyway.

And yes, unfortunately i've seen this mediocre claptrap. Ask me anything about it, watched it on VOD a couple weeks ago from comcast. The point was if you believe them about anything why not believe everything you hear...

i think the main problem here is that sleep paralysis exists, but most of the illustrated visions seem like the typical religious-based fears, which have nothing to do with this sleep disorder.
and it does not go away just because you pray to jesus or god or a pink elephant (but maybe bill hicks can explain..).

so, if you believe in ghosts (jesus is one of them), don.t ever sleep, sin, pee, *beep* masturbate, *beep*, etc. they are watching. aaaall the time!
and then feel guilty for living.
but you definitely don.t need sleep paralysis for that.

YOU shouldn.t be too concerned at all. because as far as I know, atheists are also having these dreams and they don.t - as a matter of fact - call out for help. because they know the green penguin can.t help them.

so why is there a non-existing part which is truly trying to explain the real, scientific background behind this phenomenon?
only alien and religion-based explanations??
yay...but sorry...this is as far from a documentary as i can possibly see every x-file episode.

THIS.

Documentaries need not be "scientific". This is a documentary about the experiences of eight inidividuals with SP. That's it. As pointed out above, at no point in the movie they discuss the scientific nature of SP.

WTF are you talking about? They were having nightmares. Not exactly far-fetched.

[–] Lil_j76 9 years ago

Well I wouldn't say that his story isn't real or that he was crazy. If you think about it, sleep paralysis (which I experience multiple times a week) is basically dreaming with your eyes open. Dreams are crazy, and usually don't make any sense. People in our dreams say the weirdest things, and nightmares are nightmares because they are so bizarre and unreal, which makes us uncomfortable and scared bc we don't experience that in real life. I would be terrified if an old man was standing at the foot of my bed, screaming at me that I just came on my mothers sheets. The thought of it scares me and would make me so uneasy. When I experience sleep paralysis I literally see things happening where I am sleeping (bedroom, living room, etc)...and sometimes it's so unreal and ridiculous when I think about it, but at the time, it's scary as hell. Idk, just saying just because it sounds mentally ridiculous, doesn't mean the guy is lying or mentally ill. Now the guy who said the claw was stabbing him and he could feel the pain sounds crazy to me.

I've been having it several times a week for around 3 years now...that guy was the only one in the documentary that i didn't feel like i could relate to. I've experienced things similar to almost everything that was mentioned except for that guys stories(and the cell phone thing). Chris seemed crazy at first but i didn't really think so by the end it just seemed like its really taken a physical toll on him or something, I've also experienced a lot of similar things that he described.

[–] everlast716 9 years ago

Me too, I could absolutely relate to what Chris was describing. I've had stabbing pains all that as well. What had me at odds with what the bearded guy wa's describing was when he was awake or standing up during some of these sp episodes. I am always asleep and it gets me during a bad dream or something, but I am never out of bed or in the woods like he was saying. Second, I've heard voices before but it was hard to make out, and I never see a physical person, just a shadow person, hat man, or just a feeling that there is a presence in the room. I just couldn't relate to that one guy at all. Also, callin Jesus' name does not work, I can't stand when people say that.

It didn't surprise me though, its like you are hearing your subconscious babbling at you, so strange messed up stuff is often going to be heard. Also it seemed that a few of them did have a slight mental health issue where their dreams had a tendency to seep into reality. That one woman even said she had always had a problem with slipping between different states of consciousness.

I believe her that calling Jesus worked for her, not because I subscribe to any religious nonsense, but because the association was made in her mind at that moment. I never got the impression that the subjects were being anything but honest, and what was scary is that they all had experiences that were so papable and profound that they lost touch with reality somewhat and started believing in demons and beings from other dimensions as a way of rationalisation.

Having not one but two chronic pain conditions, I have gotten to be very aware of pain my body is experiencing and cataloguing the possible causes. One thing I noticed about SP was that if my body was in pain at all while I was asleep, it would trigger an episode. It could have just been because my arm was in a weird position and blood flow was cut off or whatever, but the dreams reflected the pain I was experiencing. So say my arm was hurting because I had been lying on it too long, my nightmares would feature someone or something cutting off or damaging my arm and I would feel that pain intensely. Because I'm aware of pain signals in my body, I know the pain caused the episode, but someone else who is not as aware of it may have believed the dream caused the pain, and not the other way around.

I wouldn't dismiss anyone's experiences here. Every SP sufferer is different and from what I am hearing, as it gets to be more severe, the experience gets exponentially more extreme, intense and frightening. Someone who has had it mildly and/or not very often might feel a bit "is THAT all? That's nothing. Those people are wimps!" But from my chair, I can totally see how bad it can get. I've had it pretty bad. Several times every night for years and always the worst and most extreme of horrors in my dreams. I am so glad I am not having them anymore.

Seriously I came here just to post about this exact part. That dude came off as a totally crazy weirdo.

[–] NotASpookyGhost 9 years ago

Forrest was that guy, and I think he definitely needs some mental help. I'm not saying that to be insulting. I felt sorry for him.

Are you illiterate? Don't you have a spellchecker? What the fvck is "masterbating", dude?

[–] wysoft 9 years ago

Gotta agree with the OP. This guy was the only one whose stories sounded like complete BS - especially his story about seeing the figures in the woods with his girlfriend, and relaying his earliest memory at 1 1/2 years old - very unlikely.

I have memories of dreaming in the crib. The Sunmaid raisin lady lived between the wall and the bars and would speak to me. It freaked me out.

Hate to break it to you, but your experiences aren't universal.
