Had a terrifying "event" last night...

[Ubercat]

Is it always the same knee?

[Windigo]

That's a Cone of Shame, Slash. Dogs get them when they get operated on. Stops them from licking their surgical sites. Typically neutering operations. I bought it was messed up enough that mirth could relate, or Gussy at any rate... He'll maybe even BoB

[Sir Slash]

My wife makes me wear the same thing when we eat Buffet-style.

[Windigo]

Is it always the same knee?

I think so

At your age, you're lucky your knees are there at all.

trust Mirth - he's an expert on knees.  especially spending time on them

[Windigo]

Every once in a while I'll be climbing a set of stairs and one of my knees will just disappear. Its physically there but to my brain or whatever controls it semi mindlessly while I move - its gone.
I'll stare at it like what the hell? Its not seized up and cramping or painful, its just gone from the neural network. Non-functional. I can put weight on it so I can weirdly crutch it up or down stairs.... but WTF? Seriously.

Then it'll just reappear in a minute or two and life goes on .

God damned shadow knee joints.

At your age, you're lucky your knees are there at all.

I need my knees. They get me up and down river banks and rock cliffs. My hoydee-toydee beer budget depends on them.

Considering I've had lucid-dreaming stress-mares all night every night for 40 years (often entertaining in a videogamish or action-movie fashion, but no way to get rest at night), I've always been glad I haven't had to deal with night terrors or sleep paralysis. I'd seem like a good candidate for them! -- I've certainly had enough waking-dreams in my life, where I think I'm awake but not. Sometimes nightmarish ones. I still remember being hit by a surprise tornado in one of my dreams (not a rare occurrence anyway) and waking up to find my room was being shattered by a tornado blasting out the walls and throwing the nearby tree in the room -- it had almost tossed me out of bed already, and I caught myself with one hand on the floor while trying to decide if I should go ahead and roll out to get behind the bed and out of the dangerous debris. Since I was probably going to die anyway, there didn't seem much reason to go to the extra effort! (That's how lazy I am sometimes.  ;D ) Very slowly, over what seemed like about a minute, elements of the experience started reducing out, one at a time; each time I'd think, oh, things aren't as bad as I thought.

Eventually I woke up and realized I was still lying in bed where I should be, and that the hideous wind noise had died away to just being the ceiling fan doing a bit of squeaking.

I damn well got up and turned that bleeping thing off, and have never turned it on again at night while trying to sleep.  :pullhair: That doesn't stop the tornado dreams, but why take chances of a repeat experience of that sort?

Yes. Praying for death.

If its that bad you should just move up to Canada... you'll gain new perspective on bad weather   :hug:

Has happened to me countless times. Sleep paralysis. Awful it is...the feeling of shear terror is awful. Sometimes I have to fight to try and snap out of it but when you do it's so easy to fall back into it. I've even felt someone get on the end and put their hands around my neck, also heard them walking around my bed...horrible.

The presence seems to emanate evil...some say it's a time where you cna astral project out of your body and the presence are evil spirits that if you astral project you have to try and go straight up to stay away from them..

...I woke up and couldn't move, speak or open my eyes.

I could feel my body moving...like inside it was like my body was trying to move but I couldn't move a muscle and felt like I was suffocating. I was pure petrified. Never experienced anything like it before. I honestly thought I was going to die.

I mentioned it at work today and a guy said "Oh yeah...night terror" I was like "WTF?".

I told my sister about it tonight and she said "Oh...sleep paralysis. Yeah I get it now and again. You get used to it and just lie there and think "stay calm...everything will click""...I was like "WTF"??

When the hell did "sleep paralysis" and "night terror" become a thing???

Honestly the worst feeling in my life. I eventually was able to move and I sat bolt upright hyperventilating.

I had never heard of it before and it shook me right up. I honestly don't mind if I never suffer that again...like EVER!

Brant is obviously one of the Shadow People.   

Here, from another dimension, to do his masters' evil task.. of watching people sleep.
