AfferGorritt 868 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 I don’t get it often (thank God!), but I’ve also had a few instances of sleep paralysis and it can be absolutely terrifying. I am usually in an innocuous situation which for some reason is extremely frightening, and although I know I’m dreaming I just can’t wake up to stop the fear. I try to cry out so that the missus will nudge me awake, but can’t make a sound. I get so confused and scared that eventually I don’t know whether I’m awake or still sleeping. Very, very scary. I remember when I had my heart op the nurses said that nightmare’s could be quite common for months (although I had it years ago). My own theory was that although your conscious mind was knocked out by the anaesthetic the sub-conscious still knew what was going on and was disturbed for some time after. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 That sounds really frightening, AG. It makes sense what you say about ops and anaesthetics.... never thought about it that way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Never experienced sleep paralysis, AG, but have experienced false awakening. That's where you think you've woken up but you are, in fact, still dreaming. I once experienced four consecutive false awakenings within a dream before I actually woke up. Very confusing indeed! I can usually tell I'm dreaming if I try to switch on the light or use the phone. They will never work. If I look at my feet and I have no shoes on, I know for certain I'm still dreaming.

benjamin1945 16,118 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Used to deal with an wholesaler''Johnsons'' in Wisbech back in the 70s,,,who sold Dinted,,out of date and relabelled food products when it was legal,,it was big business,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 We used to call at a farm shop/cafe on the A47 near to Wisbech. Good home cooked, enormous meals. You queued at the till, ordered and paid, sat at your table and very soon a buxom lass would appear with the food, shouting out your table number. The place was a bit of an institution and very popular. We don’t go that way now as all our Norfolk relatives are dead but I often fancy a trip down to Wells to see if the cafe’s still there - perhaps when normality returns.

MargieH 7,594 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Phil, Sorry you won’t be going to visit Wells. We will probably be going there in half term ( depending on Covid guidelines obviously) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 My wife had an uncle in Wells and her father was born there. The uncle lived in a cottage in Lion Yard, just of Staithe St., which comes out on the waterfront. There used to be an excellent restaurant on the waterfront who’s name escapes me. I used to enjoy the trips down to Wells but like all the picturesque Norfolk towns it’s become yuppified with an easy commute from London. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Not talking commuters Margie - more like second homes and holiday cottages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
