nonnaB 4,893 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 A funny and frightening dream. My husband was dreaming about us all ( me and my children when they were small) . We were all in bed together playing as we always did on a Sunday morning when the children came bouncing in. We were all cuddling together when in walked ..........TRUMP. Dream suddenly interrupted by waking up. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,893 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 AG that's the first time I've heard of someone else having sleep paralysis. My husband used to have something similar. He says he was never asleep and could hear everything . But he used to have difficulty in trying to make himself heard ( he never made a sound) and he couldn't move at all. It was very frightening for me as well as him. Forunately he doesn't get this any more Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,594 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 @benjamin1945 Was it a real earthquake or just movement from the pit workings? I can’t remember it when I was 14 and at CleWs.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,118 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Pretty sure it was a Tremor at Bestwood pit, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,893 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Think the earthquake I felt was about '55/56 , I was still at school I started working in 57. We had had a geography lesson and we'd been discussing earthquakes and blow me at playtime we had one . First hand experience but seem to remember that it was a bit more than a tremor. When we moved back here in 2000 we were sitting chatting to friends, all of a sudden I thought what the devil is the cat doing under the chair that I was sitting on. It seemed to wobble and rise up. sooner thought about when my husband shouted " earthquake, everyone outside" The furniture rattled and so did all the glasses and ornaments. It was all over by the time we got everyone together and got outside. My husband was used to the sound of earthquakes just as they happened because he lived in Sicily and they were quite common.

loppylugs 8,424 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 I think it was 57. I think we taked about it on another thread a year or two ago. I was at Chandos school, around mid afternoon and there was a rumbling sound and we saw the telephone poles and wires shaking around outside. Worst I've ever known. Hope I'm never in another.

MargieH 7,594 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 LL, If you felt the quake at Chandos, then we should have felt it up the road at CleWs, but I can’t remember anything! Perhaps we were in a games lesson outside ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 Quakes are weird. There is a lady on YT operates a site called, Mary Greeley news. She seems to have a good knowledge of seismology and tracks a lot of earthquakes. I have noticed that sometimes folks just a few miles from the epicentre say they never felt it and others further away will say it knocked pictures off the walls. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,594 Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Perhaps your dream is telling you that you need to get a dog instead of thinking about cats! Walking a dog is good exercise and good for meeting new people. Now that is a WOW 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
