I think in the past ignorant people innocently mistook medical conditions such as epilepsy and other neurilogical disorders as demonic possession.
__________________However the original story posted in the thread is entirely different. Furthurmore a good movie based on a true story to watch about this is: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404032/ And I guess a few here would say that Emily was faking it or just a nut job. Sad. dbs |

I've also had, what some may call an outter body experience. I often have lucid dreams, sometimes a few a week. I'm not sure how common that is, but basically a lucid dream is when you consciously realize you are dreaming and you can start manipulating the characters and environment around you. They are quite facinating, you often don't want to wake up. But there have been a few of these lucid dreams that faded in and out of lucidness and I'm actually looking "down on me and am outside my body".

One recurring one is where I can fly or glide, perhaps 6- 10 feet off the ground. When I can, I take those along as far as I can until the conscious wins out over the subconscious A dream is just the mind, the subconscious, de-fraging. Much like a hard drive. or Is God calling me to be an Angel? or a cast member on: Heroes? |

With regard to the original article specifically, and the whole topic in general - it's nonsense. Despite its use in everyday vernacular, parapsychology is not a legitimate branch of psychology, and is not recognized by any of the major psychology regulating bodies for very good reasons.
Paranormal phenomena have been studied by many legitimate researchers in the field decades ago, and it's been overwhelmingly found that there is no validity to paranormal claims made. What many people don't realize is, the field of psychological research is very, very competitive and cutthroat, and researchers are always on the lookout for the next big thing, so that they can be on the cutting edge of new discoveries. If there was any validity at all to paranormal claims, legitimate researchers would be all over it. If there was an iota of indication that there may be some truth there, believe me, they'd be studying it and publishing their findings to death. |

i'd point to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dreaming i have them fairly frequently, especially when i am overtired and try to catch up on REM sleep by napping in the late afternoon. i had one today, actually. i've been working my ass off for the past three weeks, and today i'm "writing from home." i got up, had a doctor's appointment, came back, and took a 2 hour nap. over the course of the nap, i woke up several times and went down stairs to find a totally different house, with different people, different rooms, different colors. it's fascinating. and when you get more comfortable with it, you can move freely and make things "happen" in the dream. but you will eventually wake up. and feel very refreshed. ETA: i guess this has already been brought up. sorry. |
