I've heard of sleeping paralysis. I used to encounter it on a regular basis. But I want to believe there's a supernatural aspect to this phenomenon, though not absolutely. |

nams77: Hehehehe. Lots of crazies on Nairaland. Mr scientist who claims, without proof, demons deposit shit in humans while they sleep. Na wa o! |

Exciton:Mr know all. Allow me to believe in what I believe in and get your own beliefs. You are definitely lost and truly need redemption. Accept Jesus today. Smh. Narrow minded imp. |

nams77: Of course you're free to believe in whatever you chose to believe. Just don't claim you're a scientist. That's fraudulent. It's like how most pastors add the Dr. title to their name to boost their credibility. Bloody fraudsters. |

Exciton:You surprise me with your assertion. For your information there are lots of educated, erudite and successful people on this forum.i was even discussing with a dean of faculty of a university from the West. Which planet are you from? Wake and smell the coffee! You just showed that you are an ill-educated oaf. How hard is it to become a scientist? Smh. So many kids on this forum. That's why I hardly comment. |

nams77: Lol. I like how you're getting worked up because someone spotted your harmless little lie. Assertion? Who's the one making baseless claims? Basically all scientists know how fucking stupid it is to make crazy claims without any proof. That's why it was easy to spot your lie. You can claim that you're a lecturer in some shitty Nigerian school who does zero research, but you're certainly not a working scientist that builds hypotheses and demolishes them via the scientific method. It's okay to make crazy claims w/out proofs. Just don't claim to be a scientist. It's insulting to those who appreciate the rigor and clarity that rational reasoning offers. |

Exciton:I will forgive your ignorance. I am going to give you the names of ten renowned scientists who believe In God. Albert Einstein, Francis Bacon, Galileo Galilei, Gregor Mendel, Isaac Newton, Louis Pasteur, Max Planck, Robert Boyle, Nicholas Copernicus, Michael Faraday Guglielmo Marconi etc. My dear friend, I guessed you have learnt something new today. Small-mindedness is a terrible sin. and lastly I don't need to prove to anyone that I am a scientist. I don't need your validation either. Bye Lastly, these are Giants in the scholarly world,yet the believe in something they cannot prove with hypothesis and experiment. They are not stupid, you know. Their achievements speaks volumes.

Intensive research on mysticism makes u a practitioner. Hence, i repeat my question, 'Are u occultic'? Bnimz: |

Xzbit91:Sleep paralysis happens in different ways to different people all over the world. And that phenomenon of u hearing people laughing I donno where u get that from, hearing people laughing is not part of sleep paralysis but if u do then its probably illusion. In sleep paralysis u can open ur eyes too. According to ur logic a demon entered ur room, pinned u down for like 3 minutes and then just let go without hurting u. And abt not having wet dreams, guy I say u r a bloody liar. Or u started mastubating very early in life. |
Re: Sleep Paralysis: Meaning, Causes, Symptoms And Treatment by Nobody: 6:59pm On Feb 04, 2017 |
nams77:Most of those scientists u mentioned are not Christian tho, they believe in one form of religion or the other but most of them weren't Christian |
Re: Sleep Paralysis: Meaning, Causes, Symptoms And Treatment by Xzbit91: 7:01pm On Feb 04, 2017 |
charliboy654: Sleep paralysis has never happened to me with my eyes open, as soon as they open the feeling vanishes in split seconds. And I didnt masturbate growing up plus no wet dream and I don't have to prove anything to you because didn't think that was a big deal |
Re: Sleep Paralysis: Meaning, Causes, Symptoms And Treatment by Nobody: 7:05pm On Feb 04, 2017 |
Xzbit91:So because it has never happened to u with ur eyes open doesn't mean it doesn't happen to other people with their eyes open. It happens to a lot of people round the world not just Nigeria |

nams77: Ignorance. Hehe. I'll only reply you because I often see this "scientists that believed in god" argument here without a good rebuttal. You obviously don't understand the difference between the belief in a god or an entity responsible for creating the universe and the belief in the supernatural. But your error in conflating these two different ideas is understandable given your Nigerian Christian background - the belief in a creator who frequently interferes with the laws of nature leading to miracles etc. Most of the scientists in the early days of science (covering 8/10 of those you listed) believed that a creator could exist due to the widely successful Newtonian mechanics which is completely deterministic. Determinism makes a strong argument for intelligent design. So, you see, it made sense for them to believe in a creator in their time. However, they surely didn't believe in stupid miracles, witches, succubi, supernatural phenomena etc because they knew very well that the laws of nature are inviolable. That's the difference! Observations from many experiments (Young's double slit is a famous one) created cracks in the deterministic world view. This led to the development of quantum mechanics and subsequent aspects of modern science ultimately killed off determinism. Things aren't very well defined in reality. Probability is intrinsic in nature. The need for a creator became unnecessary at best. That's basically why modern scientists don't care about the existence of a creator, most reject the idea. In sum, the belief in a creator isn't a crazy idea, it's just an unnecessary unprovable idea as it doesn't require any change in the laws of nature. However, the belief in demons, miracles etc which completely violates the laws of nature and logic is a big fat crazy idea that requires proof! I hope you've been educated. 1 Like |

charliboy654:At least they believed in something they couldn't prove empirically. I put it again that most of them are Christians. They may not be devout/devoted Christians but they believed in a greater being who created the Earth. Goodnight. No need bandying words back and forth. I have meaningful things to do with my evening |
Re: Sleep Paralysis: Meaning, Causes, Symptoms And Treatment by Xzbit91: 7:26pm On Feb 04, 2017 |
charliboy654:Emphasis on paralysis, can you move any part of your body if it is paralyzed? They claim the mind is awake but the body is in temporary paralysis, if you can open your eyes then you're no longer paralyzed |
Re: Sleep Paralysis: Meaning, Causes, Symptoms And Treatment by bobestman(m): 9:27pm On Feb 04, 2017 |
Why is it that when you shout Jesus repeatedly it stops? Why is it that if u read your bible and pray very well you never experience it?. Why is it that if its abt someone trying to sex you in the dream, you wake up, read yourBible and pray it automatically stops. Don't be decieved by scientist rather seek spiritual help or pray. 1 Like |

Thanks to ''op''for explanation of that horrible experience,i thank God i have learnt something today,i have experienced it several times,the first day i experience it,i was very sad and confused based on my previous info.i received about it,i thought i have the holyspirit and i speak in tongues why will such thing happen to me?,i soloquized,i started praying and hitting the walls of my room,another day i experience it again and again,then i noticed that whenever i go to bed depressed and weak,whenever i sleep in the wrong direction,i experience it,but now i overcame it,the theory of sleeping paralysis may be true,but one thing every body should know is that every negative experience is from the devil,i thank God i have overcame through christ,ebola is a fever yet it is a demonic manipulation, 1 Like |
