Didn't something similar happen to Marvin in THHGTTG?
Drove him slightly bonkers iirc. Dreams like that make my head hurt.
I had a dream that the world was at war with Africa.
I was flying off the African coast when our plane crashed and I ended up in a life raft with some others, just as we saw the nukes hit.
We had a choice, either try to swim down below the flames/heat and hope to live but probably end up drowning, or stay at the surface for as long as possible and have a quicker death.
I chose the latter, and I remember trying to swim up to the surface after the raft was obliterated, and seeing the bones in my right arm.
Then everything went dark.
I was then in something like an underground abattoir, wearing a blood soaked rubber apron, huge meat cleavers and other nasty looking surgical implements were hanging up, and I had no control of my body, like I was undead.

Nope. I guess my brain is wired that way. I've always had vivid dreams.
One dream I had sometime ago:
There were 7 obelisks floating high up in the heavens. These obelisks represented the 7 major religions of earth. And miles way was a huge generic temple that encompassed my entire field of view. All of a sudden I heard 3 loud bell gongs that shook me to the depths of my soul (an apocalyptic kind of feel to the whole thing), and the 7 obelisks came crashing down on the temple destroying everything. Our view of God was flawed so our belief system was done away with. Now God was ready to present himself to us.
crazy uh?
I just generally tend to fail in my dreams. Dream about being able to fly...fail to take off. About to get down and dirty with a hot girl...wake up.
My dreams reflect my reality. Endless frustration.

I had loads of mini dreams..Wierd
I remember i got a call from a friend:
(F = Friend, M = Me)
F - Dude where are you?!
M - I'm at my place. What?
F - What?! I'm waiting for you down the road in my Mustang, come!
M - I'm sorry, what?
F - Come and meet me!
M - What the hell are you talking about?
*Silence*
F - Oh crap, i just talked in my sleep. Yeah.... I'm at home.
I also remember crashing at his place after an alcoholic night, and when i woke up i turned around and saw that he had a lighter in his mouth, so i poked him and asked what the hell he was doing, and then he said "What? Ooooh, i dreamt that i was eating candy".
Danielle can be hilarious if she falls asleep on the sofa before we go up to bed.
She'll "wake up" and brush her teeth, tell me something like "have you authorised that file. For the unicorn. The file, you know, what Val said."
And I have to try and keep a straight face (difficult as she's so cute) otherwise she gets frustrated.
I once caught her putting her glasses in the dishwasher, not drinking glasses, spectacles!

I became quite good at starting it, but never succeeded in keeping it going. I was so into it at one point that I quite regularly realised that things in my dreams were obviously not real and therefore I was dreaming. I usually start flying and wake up a couple of seconds later, really excited. I think adrenaline kicks in with the excitement and it's too much for me to stay asleep
Apparently, spinning on the spot is good for not waking you up and once you've been doing that for a while you should have calmed enough to take full advantage of the situation.
How about you Dirk - have you had any luck?
anyone fall or get hit and like have a weird "jolt" and wake up ? Anyone else?xD

I tried for a while without success. Everything you're supposed to do as you fall asleep would only keep me awake!
I used to have terrible trouble falling asleep when i was younger though. Brain would just go into overdrive to the point where i would spin out with it all and have to get up again to calm down! It took some time but i trained myself to counter that and now i can fall asleep instantly using my 'method' (TM)

There's a name for that but for the life of me i can't remember what it is. Reminds me of Inception though!
Some say that the bad things that happen in dreams are your brains way of preparing you for the bad things that might happen while you're awake. Systematic desensitization if you like. I wonder if there's any truth in that?

It was a night unlike any other day,
I was standing on the edge of the cliff hugging the sunset - it kicked me in the head at about 40dB and asked me to leave her be so that she can finish her shift but alas, the moon stood her up.
I turned and walked in reverse. I fell. I fell again. I fell again. I was sick of falling so I got up when suddenly I felt myself surrounded. I felt right.
2 VR6 dogs, one brown, one left started negotiating with me a monologue and when they were done, they started running towards me with an ambition never seen that night. they worked on me for a few hours to think they're dogs. their work yielded my bones.
The cliff drew me towards itself. I pulled back but found it was charged with attractivity and i stayed hanging on it's lip. it screamed. I realized that David Copperfield is dead for a while now thus he cannot help me up.. and besides.. he's an asshole.
I grabbed the tongue of a mexican eggplant passing in its car at the same moment. assuming I prefered to stay alive, I decided to claim my innocence and ask the honorable eggplant to lift me up not foreseeing any dagner since an eggplant as all eggplants, is mute. Murphey decided to prove me wrong and the eggplant asked for a cigarette. to my surprise, I fell down.
Death was quick and insensitive, it cursed my existance in every possible way until i bled diet cola.
I returned to my home petit, and sprained my ankle. It hurt. As i sat to eat breakslow, my brain figured out that a mechanical catalogization of the day's happenings will certainly be preceived as a routine incident of prehistorical philanthropy and so, I will save the world. I sew a custome. returning to the cliff, I triple jumped from the cliff for inspiration but found that I am not strong enough as to flap my hands so to keep me in the air for more than a few moments and I banged my head on a sharp rock which calibrated its position to hit my brain a few moments before i landed.
A cornslice came out of an unhomogeneous door, stroke me a niner and lost itself to death.. poor corn.
spunked up, my decision to finish the day was fatal to my socks. I fell asleep to death.
I didnt know mescaline was still popular. I once puked whole sheets of plywood.
I was supposed to eat that pill? I gave it away as candy on halloween! I guess I live in a bad neighborhood so no harm done, right?

what was the word i dont for
clearly you guys have gone crazier than I have. so to reclaim my insanitfy i'll post another story i wrote like 6 years ago.
The indian guy who didn't know why (biblical story)
it was 8:00 pm, and it was green
I leaped over to the window to watch a game of EarBall between 2eggplants who tried kick one another in the ear while the "babbit rabbit" ate one of them but the blinds were closed and I couldn't see anything.
I could not ignore the fact that by using an RPG you can just lift the blind and his sister but due the a short workday in radioactive cornflakes factory I gave up the sportive activity required to perform the action.
Even tho it was summer, it wasn't cold. on the contrary, i WAS cold. I went out to the garden to find a best viewing angle but the eggplants were already gone and "babbit rabbit" died from an epileptic siezure due to stamp overlicking.
I wore my underwear, went outside, and back in. I was sick of being inside all day so I came back in and went down to the attic to sort my collection of beans. one bean attacked me with a dropkick to the left brow but i managed to contain it by injecting 6 litres of cyanide to its left lobe. it screamed for help but there was no one there. Yossi died.
As i was sorting my beans by name, i felt a pat on my shoulder. I turned 360 degrees and saw exactly what i was seeing before. I thought that this might've been a defected calculation and maybe 520 more degrees are required... when suddenly, i saw it. a big head with nothing underneath was looking at me through glittering eyes with a huge nose, 2 eyebrows connected by a safety pin and 2 chin dimples.
the glittering eyes with the huge nose turned to me and asked: "who's boy are you?!"
I responded.
This was face traumatizing. since then, i do not go down to the attic anyless to sort beans by name - only by format (bean.exe.. and so forth)..
Hey guys.
Something horrible happened to me today.
Here goes: Me and my other two friends, Adrian and Argelio were riding our bikes for like an hour outside. We rode everywhere and had no problems with anyone.
We turn at a school where we see a group of 5 kids all dark clothed and looking a little cholo. We ignore them and I'm just talking to my friend when suddenly we all hear the word ******. I just laughed and said "I love you too" they stop and all of them turn around and said something so we just ignored them. About 50 feet away now from them we were about to turn the corner and I decide to scream "I love you too" because all I was hearing was talking and screaming from them. WE suddenly see two of them on a bike and one running. Towards us.
We start peddling faster and like another 100 feet from them.......the damn bike chain gets loose so my friends are on their bikes and I have to run like 1/2 mile to my house with the damn bike on my side. My heart was pounding and I just kept running. We go to my house and this time I call my sister out thinking she might know some of them....turns out they're all in gangs and had knifes with them so I told her if she could come with us and talk to them....we went again and found them at a park...all of a sudden my sister and my friends all say.."RUN!" They want you so run, don't look back, they're gonna kill you. I started laughing and thinking "THIS ISN'T REAL" So I stayed thinking I could confront them and try to talk but one of them was just running at me saying. "Come on 1 on 1 pu**y, come, right here right now b*tch. I said, "I just wanted to say Hi" Now I though to my self ...Do I wanna live or get jumped and get rushed to the hospital....LIVE So I took all of my friends' advice and just rode. Luckily I run track and cross country so I had wayy more stamina than them..I go around the neighborhood and hide at home for a while....you might be thinking but cant you 10th grade friends beat them up?....no there was only 1 my age and the rest of my friends were like 12 year old because my real friends are lazy and play black ops......So they are no use to me in helping....
My friends and sister came back and told me "Alan you lucky son of a b*tch, my homeboy AJ called of his homeboys to chase you" "Your never bike riding without me"
So instead of what she said because it's confusing so I'm gonna tell you what she told me..
They were planning on all 3 of them jumping me..they all had knives and were probably gonna leave me dead in the street and flee themselves..
one of them (the one that was talking to me and wanted to fight me) has already killed 1 and was just released from jail...he is about my age and got kicked out of school because of all his gang stuff and smoking weed in the bathroomm
the second - AJ- he's on parrol and got kicked out of school too--he's 14
the 3rd Isaiah is some weed smoker that has been on probation and got kicked out of school too...
My sister then told me how as soon as they learned I was her brother they stopped.....and said if they ever saw me again..I better watch my back....
I'm not really scared...
They just freaked me out because they were horrible looking mexicanss
Well thats it!

This has happendd a couple times to us. We've had the local gang "get off" on us and oh man is it a scary experience. Being outnumbered, outaged and having to defend your own. My best friend has had a knife pulled at his stomach, I've almost gotten jumped for a blue bike. My advice is don't let them intimidate yOu. Next time some confronts you if they're unarmed don't say anything back, take flight immediately. Use all your brute force and aim for his jaw. His buddy's won't do a dam thing trust me on this one.

Still this was a bad ass thread.
Vibrant users have the best threads in off- topic!
Ah, the experience...
First of all, having a knife is pointless and gets you into more trouble than it's worth with school authorities.
Secondly, I fight dirty. Jaw? Please, the groin is more reachable.
Thirdly, and I don't teach this enough, is to learn to sacrifice your off-hand (left, as usual) to displace the opponent's weapon and groin him hard with your knee. Learn to deal with downward stabs, upward stabs, and swings. A weapon is useless at closer to arms-length, and that is great reason to learn Krav Maga or Muay Thai (I know a bit of the latter).
Fourthly, don't pick a fight you can't win.
My worse experience was being ganged up by a bunch of kids my age. About six of them, I believe. They circled me in the park and hit me from the back. In the end, I chased one of them down and beat him to a near pulp. His friends decided that running away from me and hitting my back was preferable to fighting directly, so I chased the slowest of the bunch and trashed him. Of course, they never bugged me again.
Another experience with knives was when I used my right hand (wrong hand) to fight off a knife attacker. Bled all over the place despite him not hitting an artery. Apparently, I broke his wrist and cracked his skull over the incident. As usual his friends left him high and dry when it got tough.
I'm from Argentina, and, just for the record, living here it's like being a marine in Irak, but, maybe, without the AK47 and all the Lady Gaga stuff XD

You wake up, wrapped in your nice warm covers. Blinking as the sunlight first enters your eyes. "What a nice day this is going to be. It's not even that cold." You say to yourself as you contemplate climbing out of bed in the freezing morning air. After a lot of convincing you finally roll yourself out of bed. "HOLY ****, IT IS FREEZING. WHY DID YOU GET OUT OF BED?!" You scream to yourself as you begin frantically searching for a hoodie and a pair of trousers to put before hypothermia sets in.
Ahh, that nice soft cotton slowly warming yourself up. After combating the arctic temperatures in your bedroom you prepare yourself for the walk to the bathroom for that morning leak. Passing by your computer en route to switch on in preparation for when you get back. You make the walk to the bathroom with your feet being massaged by the soft, soft carpet absent mindedly dreading the cold tiled floor in the bathroom. You make your way over to the toilet trying to tip toe over the floor so your feetsies don't get as cold. Mmm, relief.
You flush and head back to your room. Your feet screaming in relief at the comfort of the carpet. The computer. It's there, staring at you, patiently waiting for you to enter your password. It doesn't expect anything of you, it doesn't scream and shout, it just waits, always there for you. You stretch your fingers on the approach, getting ready.
The synthetic leather of the chair as you sit down is cold to touch. Your elbows rest on the familiar surface of the desk. Tap tap tap, your fingers go as you the little box fills with mysterious circles. Welcome, it always greets you well no matter how you treat it. Every things starting to load up. You wait until you can launch your music player and internet browser. Aha! It's ready. You click away wondering what new and interesting things await you on the internet.
And then, in the corner of your eye, you see it. The dread filling you quickly, rising up to your chest, the panic's setting in. You beg for mercy. You cry out, "Please, no! "I've got a family who uses this computer as well. Please, anything but this." It just ignores your plea's for mercy.
New updates available. It feels like your hearts just been ripped out your chest. You want to cry but the tears can't even form. Why does this have to happen to you? Why today of all days? Everything was perfect until these updates came along. You know what's coming next. You have to do it. You click install.
It finishes surprisingly quickly. You were expecting more but alas maybe you have been let of tod-"OH NO" you scream, "NOOOOOOO!" That monster, that quiet, staring monster wants you to restart. You know you could put it off but it'll stay there, reminding you every 4 hours you need to restart. Begrudgingly you accept. You let it restart, impatiently tapping your fingers as the computer crawls back to where you just left off, dreading the day you have to do it again.
You've already got 10 posts.
Well that's a upsettingly negative attitude to a story detailing the torture of being forced to update.
Well it was either that, "Cool story bro", "tl;dr" or "Obvious troll is obvious". I picked the least offensive. I can change it if you like?

I would have preferred cool story bro. At least it's a compliment, even if it is a back handed one.
To be fair, it was a well written spiel. The plot was a bit thin but the prose was above par!
I'd rather read your tale of woe than any tripe turned out by Dan Brown.
Agree.

The written word can be a beautiful thing.
And then there's the way i do it.
Im a huge paranormal stuff fan, and I love to watch movies like Paranormal activity1, The haunting in Connecticut and The Fourth Kind.
I love them because they are scary as hell and sometimes don't let you sleep XD
As for paranormal experiences, I remember back in 2009 in my Grandma's house, I'd hear footsteps down the stairs and knocks on doors even when no one was there. Also, doors would open randomly and there was no sign of anyone or anything.

The Devils Rejects, hands down. I'm really excited for The Lords of Salem too.
Edit: now that the OP changed the title of this thread from "favorite horror/ paranormal movie", my post makes no sense here.

Meh I'm not a fan of scary movies. Mostly because none of them are actually scary.
Now there is an abandoned warehouse near my ex-girflriends house that is haunted by something seriously evil. Everyone I know says that every time they pass it they get a really bad chill down their spine and feel like something is watching them. There is a sidewalk on either side of the street but no one who lives in the area walks on the one that is on the same side as the warehouse, well unless it is some kid getting dared to do it.

Nope not hype. I would always take the next street over to get to her house because I didn't like going past that place. Something about that building just feels wrong.
It also probably doesn't help that a few people died in it back in the 50's because of an electrical fire.

I suspect Archer might close this thread tomorrow if there aren't some other posts except movies, and I'm a little buzzed and haven't told anyone this in a long time, so here goes. Maybe should have in Confessions though...
I was in a dark period in my life many years ago, 25, stupid, wasting my life in many ways. I was pretty enamored of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, some of the most well-written books out there, to the point where I wanted to have one of the vampires take me away, claim me, and take me to the Dark Side. Literally.
And one of them showed up. This is not a joke and is absolutely true so please read on.
I was laying in my bed, very late one night. I had a habit of keeping the room totally dark, all doors and windows closed, in a position much like a coffin with the covers tucked in tightly around me. A couple of nights previously, I had managed to somehow leave my body behind while I floated up through the ceiling, through the roof, above the house, looking around and very much enjoying the experience, and then I realized exactly what I was doing and SNAPPED back to my body, waking almost in a panic. I was frigidly cold for about an hour, but I was very excited that I had managed to do it and wanted to do it again.
Well, that eventful night, I was in my normal position, when I suddenly snapped awake and I KNEW that Something was in the room with me. I looked into the deep darkness across my small bedroom, and there was Something darker still staring back at me. It was big and dark and terrible and powerful, and I knew that it had come for me after I had gotten his attention a couple of nights before. I stared back for what seemed to be hours, but I knew it was merely fractions of a second. I then understood that it was now my time to choose. I could go with him, and see and do things I could scarcely imagine.
At that instant, I backed my body up to the wall behind the bed and yelled, "Jesus, protect me". I was terrified. Suddenly a bright glowing shield appeared in front of me and moved toward the Darkness. No sooner did that happen then it flew out the door. I felt the door open and close so fast I could not see it, but I felt the wind. I got up and ran out of the room, and I could still feel the air movement from the front door as well.
So I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there really are terrible and monstrous things out there. This was the Real Deal. It literally scared me straight and showed me in no uncertain terms that I was making the wrong choices in my life.

Thanks friend. I will never forget a single detail from that night. It has been over 20 years now, and I still remember it like yesterday.
I do like to write, but I have to be in that groove. I am sure you know the feeling. I did 90%+ of my New User Guide in two one hour spans with 5 hours of not-really-sleep in the middle since my wife made me come to bed , then very minor tweaking.

Also I know it's not really paranormal but has anyone else ever had sleep paralysis?
I've experienced it twice in my life both times were during the same night. The first time it happened I woke up and could move my eyes but nothing else. At first it didn't bother me but then I looked up and the ceiling above me started bubbling and turning a dark red. The next thing I knew it started dripping, then pouring, what looked like blood onto me. I kept trying to scream for help but every time I did it only came out a small whisper. The blood started pooling up around me until it it reached my mouth and nose. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't move at all and I started choking on the blood.
Right after that I sprung up coughing and everything was back to normal. I just chalked it up to being a bad dream, that for some reason I could remember all of, so I went back to sleep. About thirty minutes to an hour later I woke up again, once again unable to move. Fortunately this time I didn't have any weird hallucinations but I still couldn't move. It was not fun at all no matter how hard I tried to scream trying to get someone to help me it only came out a faint whisper.
Needless to say once I was fully awake I gave up on trying to sleep.
This one time I saw a ghost. I said hi and he said hi. It was a pretty awkward conversation. He had a Jamaican accent though. I think it was Bob Marley but I couldn't tell. He offered me some weed but it was ghost weed so I couldn't smoke it.

Sleep paralysis sucks bad, once I had SP and I was stuck in front a room full of demons and their shadows were in front of me.
Usually, the easiest way out of SP is to move your hand REAL fast, as that gradually reconnects your brain to your body.

I asked my person of interest for the first time in my life. We met in a group discussion which went for 2 weeks and I had a liking for her from 1 month ago. When I asked, she was nice about it and said no and that we should stay friends. I shrugged it off and said OK, thanks for being nice.
The problem is that, I can't think of anything else now, I know that the world isn't ending just because 1 person rejected me. However I can not stop myself and it is turning me into a depressed wreck. How do you guys deal with it? What is your story?

Every experience with a person of the opposite sex, whether friendship or romance, is a lesson to learn to prepare you for meaningful relationships later, such as marriage. Learn from it and move on. Remember, being friends with girls is good, because they have other friends who are girls, and may try to hook you up.

You've had a strong mating reaction to a member of the opposite sex. Your body has released a flood of dopamine into your brain so you will feel vaguely sick and your appetite will be suppressed.
I suggest playing Counter Strike for twelve hours a day until your brain functions return to normal.
I find distraction is the best reaction in this situation your mind will get over it with time, and not much else. So keep yourself busy while you wait! Play some games you've not played in a long time, (like counter strike as suggested above ), or do you have any android projects you have always wanted to try like making a custom Rom, or beta test some non stable roms for some devs, I also recommend going for a long walk. It sounds to simple to make any difference but a long walk can give your mind a chance to rattle things out and come to terms with things lastly your right, the worlds not going to end for some girl, so don't beat yourself up about it your only human and we have good and bad experiences, just be glad that ones over

Listen to this man, he is wise beyond his years. I'm 34, and have had my share of rejection. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you will get over it. Just concentrate on you for the time being.

When a study about love was carried out, scientists put subjects in an MRI scanner and looked to see what was going. They would show the subjects pictures of somebody they loved to see which areas of the brain were activated and then show them pictures of somebody they hated. The same areas of the brain were activated in both cases.
Right now you're suffering because of feelings of love for this girl, but when you start to hate her for rejecting you, the feelings that you have, and the reaction your brain has to it will be exactly the same. Either way it's angst and despair.
Love=Hate. Get your head around that!

The OP did ask how people here deal with rejection, so perhaps one of you married guys could answer that? My understanding is that wives say no all the time! :laugh:
The tried and true method would be Alcohol of course. That's what guys usually turn to at these difficult times. To find out how that works, it's best to imagine the alcohol as Pac-Man running through your arteries, chomping away at all the nasty hormones until it's cleared all the levels. Once you're good and drunk all the hormones are gone, leaving you with a strange urge to eat a greasy lamb kebab, and a minging headache in the morning.

I prefer to let her drink alcohol, and much away at her hormones, and hopefully get her to stop rejecting me. Of course, it could backfire depending on the time of the month and poor choice of words or actions on your part, which of course you know you did a week later in some random argument... You know what, a beer sounds good right now.....

Time *will* make it easier. Think back to anything else in your life that brought you down, from simple things like not being able to buy that brand new game you wanted because you didn't have enough cash, right through to the more serious things in life, like losing friends and/or family and suffering grief. Think about those things and how it felt like you'd never get over them (depending on the seriousness of whatever it is you're thinking of), and then think about how you feel about it now. You'll realise that things just do get better over time.
Incidentally, I personally wouldn't take the advice to drink through it. Alcohol lowers certain chemical levels in the brain for days after that regulate how you feel. You can do yourself serious damage that way and turn a temporary problem into clinical depression, not to mention the fact that relying on alcohol for anything is a recipe for disaster.

1- You were rejected
2- You cant be with her anymore, and i am pretty sure you can't be friends

I know what you're saying, and I wasn't trying to be heavy or down on what you said, but without moderation it *can* become depression with the addition of alcohol, over long term. A few nights cutting loose is obviously a totally different thing though.
I've personally known people start off just a bit low and end up fully depressed because of alcohol. It's unfortunately a very slippery slope as it *does* make you feel better when you're drinking, but leaves you lower than you started for a few days afterwards, which can lead to another drink because, "Hey, it worked last time, right?" And rinse and repeat. Sad becomes depressed becomes clinically depressed, and that can last for life if not treated correctly.
Anyway, this is far too heavy and now I'm having a sad. There's always the old adage, that the easiest way to get over someone is to get under someone else

I wouldn't seriously encourage anyone to drink to resolve issues. I'm a teetotaller myself so i find crying into my cornflakes works best for me when i'm blue, or going down the gym and pumping iron for an hour or two. We'll go with the latter one as it sounds more manly!

Practice makes perfect. With a little more practice you'll be getting girls' numbers, then their address...oh wait. :what:
Yeah, I've been there but at least this girl of yours was nice about it and told you politely and even wanted to remain friends. The girl I fell for just ignored me completely and blocked me on all social media . My advice ? Go out with your mates. Hit the gym. Spend time with the family. Take up a new hobby. Video game a little. Just do something to take your mind off her . It's the holidays, cheer up
