Hey Sherry!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I haven't checked out all the links yet, but I did head over to the "Experience Project" & read most of the experiences posted there as well as post myself.
Maybe, it's just me, but I can't help but get angry with the people that post about "how lucky" we are to have SP ... they go on to say that it's the entry-way (so to speak) to lucid dreaming & that they "try" to provoke SP so they can experience it .... Ugh ... seriously? People that make comments like that have obviously never experienced the extreme terror that SP entails.
Ok, I'm venting - sorry :-)
Reading other people's experiences however - great - thanks again for sharing!
I'll post on my blog more about my thoughts on that tomorrow. Kuddos to you on your blog & I hope you don't mind that I put a link to your blog on mine!
Sleep well,
~ Jacqui (aka Jayequeue)
Thank you and again I thank Mr. Patterson for sharing the links with us all.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on being angry, I also do not believe they have actually experienced the true terror, or they would not want to re-live it.
That is why I think there is something more to it. That is why I am doing what I am doing to try and find out as much as possible.
I do not believe I have the link to your blog, but feel free to respond with it, if you wish to share.
Thanks again
Sherry
