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.

If You Have Ghosts (You Have Everything)

That's a title of the song originally written and performed by Roky Erickson. But I'd like to focus on the band who covered it and its performance became even more famous. And of top of that it's called Ghost. According to Wikipedia, the one and only credible source, the band was formed in 2008 in Sweden and  includes 7 (holy number) nameless ghouls who are responsible for all the instrumental part during live shows. Moreover, they change their costumes and masks every album they release. The same rules apply to the leader of the group - Tobias Forge who happened to have 5 incarnations meanwhile.  He has performed as Papa Emeritus, Papa Emeritus II, Papa Emeritus III, Cardinal Copia and recently as Papa Emeritus IV. A revealing of the new persona usually comes with strong emotions among fans. I had a chance to participate in Ghost's concert last year for the very first time and witnessed the incarnation of Cardinal Copia, which was an amazing experience. The choice of t...

Urban Nation Museum

Guten Morgen/Tag/Abend or whichever time of the day it is. Every cloud has a silver lining, so has my blog. Inspired by a recent lesson, I decided to share my fave museum's story. Last year, about the same time I took a quick city break to explore some art in our neighbour's country with my friend. Berlin seemed to be the best option for us and it appeared to have many lovely corners. Nevertheless, it was the Urban Nation Museum that we enjoyed the most. First of all, the entrance is totally free of charge which was important for us, 2 broken girls (pun intended). However, there was a possibility to donate some money inside. And I think that's quite a nice solution since murals that decorate the building outside are often changed. We had a chance to spot this one which was designed by Dima Rebus from Russia. However, the inside was compelling as well. There was an initiative to create some street and urban's pieces due to vandalism which was frequently reflected well......
