If I ever find out ghosts live in my house, I'm going to bargain them: either pay basic services and half groceries or get exorcised. I live in front of a church, anyway.
pay basic services and half groceries
That doesn't seem reasonable given they use neither of those...
They don't have use for a roof and walls either, but here we are
Of course they have a use for that, their spirit is bound to the place that they haunt...come on man, that's ghost lore 101
God am I turned on by loose eyeballs. Thanks Mario 64...
I be sleeping like a goddamn rotisserie chicken let me tell you
Can I baste you in my batter while you rotate? I'm doing a science experiment for my church regarding sin. I've already done the control of ejaculating on my sister without her knowing, so I just need to do the experiment of someone consenting. What causes that möbiation of entanglement, and can we use my occult Knowledge to transcend physicality like Jesus, the Buddha, and Richard Simmons. We must know, for Christ's sake!
Go back to reddit
I'm like super turbo banned. Buy me a new phone and I will go back to Reddit.
No thank you, it would wake me up
My sister didn't wake up, and it dried before morning. Aliens might be doing this to us every night and we would never know.
You wouldn't know if you had dried alien spunk on you? Is that because you go to sleep covered in jism already?
Oh shi...the science has come in...
There's an evolutionary reason we and other animals prefer to sleep facing the opening(s) of our rooms (for humans that actually means the top of the head is not same side as door).
That said, somehow bets are off as to which side we face once laying down; I prefer to face the wall I think because enclosed spaces make me feel safer, like a cat. Or maybe it reduces stimuli, or something.
Though lately I think my body likes sleeping on my right side since that side has more muscle, even though I'd rather sleep on my left for acid reflux reasons. Both are better reasons than the wall.
Sleeping on the right-hand side is better for the heart though, from what I've heard. Less pressure.
Sleep in a quantum superposition of left and right to reap the benefits of both
I sleep in a sensory deprivation tank. Will that do?
I sleep in a self-deprecation tank. Will that do?
I actually have taken many naps in sensory deprivation tanks and let me tell ya that is some of the best sleep I have ever gotten.
Really? What's your setup? That sounds cool
A float house in my city used to do overnight appointments, which sound fucking dope. But I asked at a different location where I moved and they're trying to gaslight me telling me that's not something they'd ever do.
They're Daredevil.
I went through a period of time in grad school where this feeling was so strong that it was absolutely affecting my ability to sleep. My bed was in the middle of the room. The headboard was facing the wall. One side of the bed had a view of a window and the other side a view of the door. The bed didn't really fit in a different orientation because the room was an incredibly strange shape.
No matter what, I could not figure out which side to face to stop the very strong sensation of something being there. I kept having to open my eyes to "check" that nothing was there. I would toss and turn and struggle to make the feeling of being watched go away. I would sometimes swear I heard something breathing. Sometimes I would sleep on the floor...dunno why that felt like it would sometimes do something. Maybe I was able to orient my back to a wall or something idk.
Glad that finally went away. I think I was under extreme stress or something. I also had relatively frequent bouts of sleep paralysis. But I cannot tell you how terrifyingly strong that feeling of demons coming to get me was, even though my rational mind knew there was nothing there.
I had a fear of the dark as a child though, even as an older child. Some nights I would go sleep on my younger brother's floor because I would get scared. So I had always had some issues with this. But this was dialed up to like 11. One time I couldn't sleep for multiple days during this grad school period.
Been fine since tho lol.
I used to be terrified of the dark into my teens. At one point I got fed up of being so scared, so when I was home alone and the feeling got overwhelming, I just screamed at it as hard as I could and walked directly down a dark staircase where the feeling was coming from. It felt like my nerves were on fire for a second, but I think it helped get something to click in my brain because the feeling has never been so intense since then, and I can usually ignore it or just go look and calm down.
Damn that's hardcore AF! Honestly, good for you! Takes some balls to do something like that when your caveman brain is going off with alarm bells.
I prefer sleeping to a wall, for some reason.
Back against the wall, so no monster attack. And eyes wide open to protect from new oncoming monsters from the front👍
Back against the wall, so no monster attack
How do you protect yourself from the monsters in the walls then?
That's what the blanket is for, duh. And it has to be tucked in under the feet to prevent attacks from below.
Oh are you guys my guardian angels?! (°▽°)/
My demented grandma saw people that weren't there. My mom called them her "guardian angels" because that was better than calling them ghosts.
They helped her do things. Like, normally Grandma needed help getting to the restroom. One morning Mom found evidence she'd used the toilet in her own. Grandma said "oh, the angels helped me".
Anyways, dementia is weird.
Life is weird. Even for us sloths.
I'm a bearcat
I'm probably going to have dementia in ten-twenty years due to all this offbrand Walmart Benadryl I've abused to enhance masturbation several hundredfold. I certainly have organ damage now from this awful addiction. Part of the reason I liked meth is because it took away my sexuality and allowed me to work my fuzzy, feminine ass off. Been clean from that for three years now. But this Benadryl ish fucks my ass three ways, sideways, upways, and down my britches like Sam Cougar was raging in his old tamales, y'know? The thing about disembodied eyeballs is that Mario 64 imprinted the on me and it did the condit thing when my dad scare me on Benadryl when I was eight or something. I've been addicted to this ish since I was eight. Fuck. You eat hamsters?
Looks like he is the little spoon :3
Fart to establish a perimeter.
Oh my god that is so disturbing. Of all the kinds of horror creatures this is the kind I hate the most
I prefer sleeping on my left side most of the time, but this has me facing a wall. I have developed a psychological trick to mitigate my imagination of monsters sneaking in behind my back though: Imagine a pulsing protective dome around you, invisible to you on the inside, that blocks the monsters both physically and audibly outside of the barrier. This way I can safely imagine all the monsters I want, but they stay outside that barrier, so do not worry me at all and end up feeling safe. Being also a family man with kids and dogs in separate rooms, I do a mental excersise where I put up a shield over each of their sleeping places. This way I do not have to fear for their sakes either. If I have to go to the bathroom & kids rooms etc in the dark, especially if I have watched a late night horror film that has left me creeped out, I imagine being surrounded by a high current field that will zap anything that gets close. It usually helps to uust keep imagining a buzzing high voltage sound in my ears. Here are some tricks for anybody struggling with overly active imaginations.
It's funny how many people here are discovering the basis of modern feng shui but vehemently deny it if you called it that.
It's not about energies but about instincts.
Demons can also lure in the walls or beneath the bed. Looking into the room doesn't help you.
The most common reason a demon is in your bed is ... that you brought it with you! People are haunted a lot more than places are.
Oh no! Regardless of which way I turn, there's a wall!
It's nice that two dead friends are watching my back to shield me from evil ghosts.
You can just see them with your third eye, dummy, but you drink refried fluoride on a daily basis
i only get sleep paralysis if i sleep on my back, and its not all the time, its usually if you are very tired the day before.
These two aren't ghosts, as light seems to reflect off their eyes.
