Their reason is that he's not from the same town and her last relationship was a long distance relationship too. After she broke up with this guy she was hurt pretty bad.
Stuff like that, they're trying to protect her. But come on, she's not a girl and they don't know the guy... so it's unfair to both of them, to make this kind of decision

Figured. They're justified, but they're doing the wrong thing by not letting her live the way she wants. Restricting someone never helps them grow up. Like I said though, the daughter should talk to her parents, try to reach a compromise. Maybe even meet the guy. I don't agree with the parents' decision, but I can't really blame them for wanting to protect their daughter.

I hope the daughter does appreciate that her parents are looking out for her though.

Well then, I confess that each night I try to undergo self induced sleep paralysis.

For those not knowing, it's phenomenon where the body becomes unable to move, like as if an arm or leg fell asleep.
More importantly, it's often leading to severe Hallucinations and Feeling of Terror.
I'll just quote the wiki.

Many people that experience sleep paralysis are struck with a deep sense of terror, because they sense a menacing presence in the room while paralyzed—hereafter referred to as the intruder.
Hypnagogic and hypnopompic hallucinations are symptoms commonly experienced during episodes of sleep paralysis. Some scientists have proposed this condition as an explanation for reports of alien abductions and ghostly encounters.

That happened to a friend of mine but she didn't intend to go through it at all.
Why do you wanna experience it? xD

Interesting. Do you aim to achieve something in return if you succeed in undergoing it or what?

Well then, I confess that each night I try to undergo self induced sleep paralysis.

I confess that I have been trying the same thing for over 2 months(well,actually it's not,I've been trying to get lucid dreams),and the only thing that I managed to get is nightmares :\.Hell,now,even if I try to sleep normally,I get terrible nightmares.But,tbh,I do enjoy having nightmares(I know,it sounds really weird)so it's not that much of a problem...I did scare my mother once though when I was having a particularly gruesome nightmare and I felt in the dream that something caught me(smth like a ghoul/zombie) and screamed as hard as I can...turned out I also screamed in reality,not only in my dream,my mother heard me screaming from the other room lol...

But lately I've been quite lazy and don't attempt it anymore,mainly because you have to sit still,completely still for more than half an hour,and you must not think of nothing,your mind must be empty.And I can't get my mind to stay still,random thoughts of everything simply go through my head and I can't focus on not thinking.I'd say my subconscius has tons of things to tell me...

I want to try it simply for the fun and the ...weirdness of this thing.I mean,let's say you become lucid while dreaming.Then,everything happens as you want it.I can't even imagine what would happen if I think "I want to talk to myself".Would an image of me appear ? Would that be my subconsious ? Things are pretty interesting regarding this phenomenon.

 

[digitaldude]

Damn now this conversation gets this interesting. I have only felt it once as a kid and it was quite scary, I wanted to move but couldn't and then I tried to scream but no sound was coming out after like a minute it went away.

 

[BBB Banana]

I used to do it too when I wanted to have lucid dreams (and I can have them) but as godzax said it takes longer to fall asleep that way cuse until your body starts to feel numb and you shift between reality and dream takes a while. And I usually need a lot of time to rest so I don't do it anymore nowadays.

But I agree the first time I felt it I was kinda desperate cuse I couldn't move, but it's actually more of self hypnosys than a biological thing so once you muster up enough will you can get out of it easily.

It's not that hard it just takes time.

Lay on a confortable position with your belly facing upwards. And then close your eyes. You need to relax completely and slowly start to mentalize that you can move. You need to imagine that your arms and legs are weighting more and more... and more until you feel like you can't move them.

Then start to do the same with your head and torax. They are getting heavier and heavier and number. after a while you won't be even able to feel your breath and you won't be able to sense or move your body.

But once you decide to end it you can end it easily. It just take will.

 

[kdowns]

I guess I am the only one who just wants to sleep when going to bed... xD

 

[Mr. Arashi]

she didn't bother to call you?

No, everything what i knew and said here it was wrote in a mail. After that, she tried to get a date again with me, tomorrow... don't know if really going though.

 

[Naomi]

I love you fuckers

 

[g0dzax]

I guess I need to take these things off my mind,so ...

-I confess I don't know what the hell is going on with me lately @_@ , I just don't care and give a shit about ...well,almost anything anymore,but still I can't find the reason for this atitude;

-I confess I got friend-zoned,brother-zoned and now I am in a freaking grey-zone (what the hell is that?...) regarding a girl,a neighbour of mine...things are pretty deep-shit complicated now,and the story is quite boring so bear with me : thing is,last summer,I started to going to a friend's house,he ain't that far away from me,and he's got a sister(yeah she's the mothafuckin' one)and how the hell I ended up liking her,even I don't know,but I really started to get along with her and tried to be nice and whatever,but the months passed but so our relationship we ended up talking quite a lot and quite intimately...but when I wanted to take her out on a date(it was my birthday in december) she said she couldn't because her father wouldn't let her(and I know her father very well,I knew he wouldn't let her),partially it was my fault because I called her and asked her out right on the day of my birthday when I should have done that a week before or so,so that she can talk with her father about it;and then,she promised me she will get out with me another day,but it seems that at her school,some other guy acted faster than me and she ended up as his girlfriend lol;I was(at the time) quite heartbroken,but I didn't just give up on her...and then,during the school holidays(3 weeks of free time) a cousin of her(another pretty girl) started visiting her...and from that friend I found out that she likes me so I went out with her cousin lol;
-thing is,since school started,I didn't get to see her cousin too often,because of school and because her parents don't let her out almost at all,so in the end she was the one who told me she wants to break up with me because we can't meet each other...and I went to my friend and talked to his sister(which I never quitted to like)...turned out she also broke up with that guy from her school because of the same reason(though this one is a bit funny) : his grandparents weren't letting him go out with girls and whatever because his school grades were bad and he was the one who broke the relationship with the girl...so because I didn't act fast enough(and smart enough) in december,the girl I like got another guy,broke up with him,I got her cousin,broke up with her...and now,things are,well,pretty weird,dunno how to say,I often go to that friend and talk with her,but I don't know,shit is real and complicated I guess,I still like her but I wonder how she would react if I told her that...thing is,now she talks with another friend from her school and there is a big chance she ends up with him...so if I don't act now,I might lose the chance again...oh fuck it,maybe I should just don't thing anymore;

-I confess that I don't give a crap about my school grades(and I'm in the latest year in highschool) and ,as of a consequence,they are getting lower...however,I don't find any point in trying to be good and getting good grades if the college I want to go at doesn't require good grades...it just requires the grade I take at the final exam in highscool in informatics(is this how it is spelled ? I don't know)...so I only work at math and informatics...as you can guess,my mother ain't happy about that,no sir,no;

 

[Hakuteiken]

Your love life is.. such a mess
Just forget about the girl, the girl's cousin and the guy who ended up with the girl. Find someone new to make a fresh start or you may be freaking out soon.

 

[Xadyu]

I'm in love ~~~~

Oh hell,these little stories ain't love stories,I don't think that at my age relationships can be called love.Mainly because(at least in my country and my region),relationships aren't based anymore on feelings and love,everything tends to be more...concrete,I don't know how to say it.

It's easy to say I want to forget.It's not easy to do it though.I've already been through things a helluva lot worse than this,so I can cope with it.I don't think I can freak out anymore about anything.

If it were only my love life.Almost every aspect of my life tends to be a mess and complicated lol,though I dunno why .

Materialistic perspective? Rationalism over emotions? Something like that?

I think it's a nice thing that you have been through with things of at least same caliber. It may be only me, but experience is handy at any situation whether it's a painful one or not to help one move further.

Yeah,something like that.And the problem may be myself,because I tend to be more emotional and put feelings into every little things and generally help everyone however I can,though I've realized that I can't go on like that and now I only put feelings in people close to me.Even then though,I've arrived at the conclusion that trust is hard to earn,yet very easy to lose.

It just so happens I agree with you,experience is useful in any situation.I guess pain is the best teacher lol.

 

[kdowns]

I am seriously going to snap at work one day and it wont be pretty.


I got a write up for wearing a Hat during Overnight Inventory after the store had been closed to customers, when I was told we could wear them by management. I refused to sign it but it severely pissed me off when they called me up to sign it.

About the Dream talk, I experience lucid dreams almost every week. It has been something natural to me, I just have become aware of dream while I'm dreaming. I always thought that it was normal for everyone, until I talked about it and everybody was like "wow, that's crazy, we can't control our dreams, you're weird".
Then there was the inception movie and everybody was crazy about the changing the dream structure and I was like: bitch please, I always do that. It's kind of fun, but it became so common for me that sometimes I just decide to wake up instead of exploring the dream.

About sleep paralysis, happened to me once... I was on a bus and fell asleep, I could hear everything, I head some friends talking about slapping my head, and I was thinking of turning around and scaring them. But couldn't move at all, then the slap came, I could feel it coming, but I couldn't do anything about it.. then I woke up.

 

[benelori]

I confess I just sleep normally...you guys are weird

 

[Xadyu]

You guys are weird alright, I never sleep.
