Sleep Paralysis

Today I've wanted to take a closer look at sleep paralysis and all the questions connected to this subject. Unfortunately, this isn't something new for me as I was exposed to this sort of occurrence many times before. From my own experience, I can say that this is a living nightmare. I'm able to fall asleep, but then suddenly I'm starting to feel conscious, and I can have my eyes opened, but then I'm still half asleep, so I don't have any control over my mind. Even though my mind is awake, my body is still paralysed. 

I couldn't distinguish all the phenomena before, but it seems that I passed all three stages of sleep paralysis. One of them is called "incubus" - but the definition is quite different from what usually is associated with "the incubus" known as an evil spirit. During this kind of paralysis, I witness a feeling of suffocation, experienced by the unknown energy. The second stage can be known as "the intruder", this one can be interpreted as some sort of kinetic visualization. And then let's go to my favourite one! This is what is otherwise acknowledged as "OB", which means Out of Body Experience. It's usually a rough feeling of your "spirit" disconnecting from your body, and you can even start to consider yourself as an eternal being. You can discover more info under THIS link.

This usually happens to rather young people from 10 to 25 years old. It feels so real that sometimes it's impossible for me to distinguish a dream from reality. And then my mind's making an attempt to wake up, but for a horrible long moment, I'm not even sure if I wake up alive. This is something that I've been dealing with for years and let me tell you that it isn't certainly a nice feeling, but at least it is inspiring in some sort of way.

Some extras:

As I sometimes overshare, I've decided to describe some of my vivid dreams (they are countless, but recently these are my top 3).

1) I'm a shapeshifter, and lately, I was dreaming of being a 12-years old boy, who needed to face Pennywise. I was supposed to that with a group of the other wonderful kids. The rules of beating up the monster were to drive cars without doors and doing that next to some old barn.

2) That was actually a long ago, but I remember dreaming about the election in the US. In this dream, a Pole beat Trump and became the President of the United States. The whole election took place in a huge stadium. Later on, a new president experimented on the fetus to create a new form of a human. 

3) I was also dreaming about being at a sophisticated party (something like "Eyes Wide Open", but without the nasty part). And suddenly, it occurred to me that I was participating in a process of planets' creation from a sticky matter. One of the planets looked like Jupiter.

Unusual Christmas tradition in Norway

Considering that Christmas is coming, I've decided to describe one of the most interesting traditions in Norway, associated nowadays with this special holiday, which is the Brewing of Christmas beer. In fact, the practice dates back to the pre-Christian times. It's not, therefore, linked to any religion in particular. At the very beginning, at least three neighbours were supposed to gather together and bring a certain amount of beer, which they later drank to honour Odin , Njård and Frøy . They did it also to bring the sun back again. It also served to commemorate the deceased ones and heroes. Afterwards, Christianity took over this custom and the tradition became extremely important in a process of  the Christianization of Norway. Oddly enough, farmsteads, which were obligated to prepare Christmas beer and didn't take care of it, were severely punished. It was either a loss of a beloved farmstead or an exile from the country. Which is, in my opinion, the punishment adequat

For All Mankind

"For All Mankind" was definitely the best series that I watched last year and there were plenty of those due to a horrible global phenomenon that rhymes with "academic". This is an alternative history of a space race between the Soviet Union and the USA that happens through the years, starting in the 60s. The story begins with a piece of exciting news that the Russians landed on the moon before the Americans. And of top of that one of the astronauts was a female. We can witness not only a breathtaking cosmic adventure, enriched with a marvellous soundtrack (Jimmy Ruffin, David Bowie) but also stories of struggles of NASA members and their respective families. It was also interesting to see a portrayal of feminism in these years. Unfortunately, the series isn't broadly commented, and it deserves so much more recognition, because the creators really paid attention to details. The show itself was created by Ronald D. Moor, who is known for writing scenarios for suc
