Wall of Mouths

Same here. My sister suffered more though - she had it every night for about 6 months, and she was so terrified of sleeping she was exhausted all the time.

The first time it happened to me it was as though I had woken up but someone was kneeling over me, forcing the quilt over my face and I was suffocating. I could feel it and feel the weight of it and everything - just as though it were real. Then suddenly I could breathe and I was lying on my back but with my arms on top of the quilt, still paralysed and thinking I was crazy or that there really were such things as evil ghosts! I don’t think I’ve ever been so scared in my life!

I don’t know if it will help you any, but once I had researched it a bit and was a bit more clued up about what was happening I was able to act on it a bit. Just trying to relax and talking my mind slowly through it whilst it was happening really helped a lot. I got so I was able to just tell myself it was a hallucination and relax. Even though I was still paralysed and hallucinating it stopped being scary. If you panic it just seems to last forever!

When it happens these days (hardly ever) it’s only ever crazy lights and patterns filling up the room. It might even be quite pleasant if it wasn’t for the paralysis and sound effects. The noise I tend to hear is like someone setting off a firework next to my ear.

Anyhow, you have my utmost sympathy. If it’s any consolation you will probably grow out of it :)

@ Dermot - I’ve been there too - crazy dreams, just like when you are pregnant.

I had to stop using the patches though, they made my joints really painful. The doctor practically called me a liar, but it was true :(

every now and then i feel like im spinning, and my dreams are surrel as fuck, then i wake up but im unable to move any of my body apart from opening my mouth a very little bit, then I hear a swooshing noise and i can move again.

I get that too sometimes, it’s horrid. It’s called sleep paralysis.

Maybe he does, and maybe he doesn’t, but he does mean ‘our’. What sort of example is that to set? :mad:

*sits Dan on the naughty step with a dictionary*

And of course I work! How else do you think I pay for all this? :mad:

*crosses fingers behind back*

That is really strange - I was just saying the same thing in the weird dreams thread …

I have to go to work now - could you please hang around and make sure Dennis doesn’t break any more mirrors?

*waves*

@ Gimme - I had the weirdest dream about you last night. You had been at my house and you were moaning about having to walk home because it was “miles away”, so I walked you there and it was only a couple of bus stops away. A bus turned up and your mum was driving it, but she wouldn’t let me on because I wouldn’t put my fag out.

She’s got a serious fucking attitude problem, your ma :mad:

Morning Gav :)

Who’s “she”? The cat’s mother? :mad:

*sticks leg in the air and licks arse*

Really? You lucky thing! :p

Oh, you know… Fat, ugly, disfigured transvetites are always quite upbeat, even if they have diarrhoea and fungal infections.

Can’t speak for anyone else, mind …

After the news this weekend of the passing away of Paul Newman , I dug up Cool Hand Luke.
What a movie and actor !

And looker! :D

It’s a great film. Hard boiled egg?

That’s largely due to NHS cutbacks. They just can’t afford to do enemas …

Actually I was clipping my toenails, but I’m sure it would fill a gap in th market …

Aww sorry. I thought you were away for the weekend or I wouldn’t have mentioned it.

*Does lump of meat’s make-up*

Lovely, isn’t it? :)

Sorry…I shouldn’t post under the influence ;)

No worries :)

LOL :D

No :mad:

When we sent you on that very expensive cookery course did they actually teach you anything?

*puts heavy weight on lump of meat to stop it crawling off the plate*

Well that’s because ALL big lumps of meat look a lot like Dennis’s face. Apart from that turkey you stuffed with hard boiled eggs and chocolate spread. That looked like a hideous accident in a birthing pool.

So what do you recommend?

*prods soggy brown vegetables with a fork*

That big lump of meat looks a lot like Dennis’s face …

*suspicious*

*puts pillow over Chr1s’s head to end his misery*

When I said “I never saw that” I meant the post - not the film :S

The Italian Job?

Sorry - I never saw that!

I wouldn’t know, i never saw the remake. But I bet he was the best thing about the film!

Ok, 50 hard boiled eggs with salad dressing. And chocolate spread to ensure I don’t fail …

Bon anniversaire monsieur Erased :)

Agreed. Well said, Gimme! :)

How many times do i have to explain? That’s not an apron, it’s a french maid’s outfit. And we can’t afford a chef.

I mean a new chef :)

Now are you making supper or what? I’m grieving for Paul Newman and I thought I might eat 50 hard boiled eggs as a mark of respect :(

Sorry, can’t do that - it’s not in my nature. But I will withdraw gracefully from this conversation.

*falls backwards out of window*

Paul Newman. I’m heartbroken :(

billy no-arms? you know him?

I think so, he played a ballerina didn’t he? Or was that the guy from deaf leppard? Or was he the deaf guy from My Left Foot? Or was he the footman? In fact I don’t think there was a deaf guy in my left foot, I would almost certainly have noticed before now as my shoe would have been a bit tight. Mind you. It has always been on the selfish side. Anyhow, the good news is that I think we found his arms, they were at the top of this page all along! Unless they’re just specialised legs? :|

The consistency is kind of reassuring…add a lot of alcohol, and I will turn into a fucking loon.

Still beat my mate 8 - 2 at pool though :)

Is that your mate Billy, the quadroplegic dwarf? :p

I can if they are of no interest to me, but I like Cuch and you were about to make a twat of yourself.

However, I shall now take my nose and poke it somewhere more exciting :)

*hugs Sammikins and uses nose to lift his wallet*
