A Truth In Bird Songs .

Aah see a purple heart.

Not sure I earned that, not quite wounded enough either. There still lies enough sadist in the blood. To wait some before we adorn the halls of horror.

Thank you for the sentiment.

I don't know anyone who has ever had it and I don't read about it often. I'm sure it must be a horrific feeling like that of a stroke. Something that affects you the rest of your life. Very scary.

Hey Mr Autumn

It's frightful really, I haven't done "strokes" yet, so unable to relate. But I have done a heart attack about a year ago and frankly this is worse.

Strangely it seems to be a thing you suffer with all your life (if none marijuana smoking medical brains are to be believed) It kinda makes sense really, when you're a teenager it's an easy excuse of "a stage he's going through" when I was married, just pissed the ex off refusing to get out of bed. Then we reach a day of life where it is intensely worse than ever before and it's crippling really.

Can't thing of anything more horrifyingly in my history.

that must have been a frightening thing indeed AL.. you wrote the experience in chilling brilliance.. hope this doesn't happen to you again.. once would be enough to leave its mark..

love Brenda

Thanks for being here my Crim.

Pretty much my reply to you is the same as Autumn's above.

But it is recurring in varying degrees and has been for years. It's interesting how little people understand of it.

Whoa...It's interesting how one person's experience of something is different from someone else's...and yet, the same.

Hello Willow lady

You say that like you have personal experience in the issue. I'd be extremely interested in how the  experiences differ?

Have you written on the topic?

Thanks for popping in and commenting here.

Bejeeesus! I cannot imagine looking into a room and seeing myself lying across my bed. I probably would have a heart-attack and immediately feel I've died. That stopped me reading in my tracks to catch my breath. Dreams and sleep-disorders are all so strange - I equate it as an imbalance, but I'm not sure of what. The poem is beautifully crafted as a reflection of such a disorder. From the mundane routine to the heaviness so associated with realization at the end.

I've experience both sleep paralysis and night terrors (which I consider to be out of body experiences and very frightening/confusing). I stopped breathing in the paralysis one and have to focus intently on moving one limb, finger, toe, whatever, and it snaps me out of it. I can really relate to this, Al. I haven't experienced the paralysis in years, and only one night terror in about two - so I'm hoping I'm past them.

I recently obtained heavy lead crystal's for my windows as well as blessed dream-catchers. I haven't slept so soundly in years. Feng shui mirrors are marvelous for protection as well - and anything red. Red is a deterrent to negative energy. I have red throw rugs at the entrance of rooms - black obsidian bracelets on each door handle, and red string across the doors. These deflect negative energy while allowing positive to flow through.

They may sound silly, but they all really do make a difference. Or so says (or maybe I should say thanks) my sleep patterns. Especially when you cleanse and speak your intent into them.

Good write that sparks both reflection and conversation.

You know that from my POV, the out of body experience is the worst part in this case. I call it "out of body" but it's not in the same sence as a spiritual thing at all. The mind completely thinks it's up and about. It can actually account for having dine things and can relate the mundane in normal life, the weather, the time, kids are up that type of thing. (this is very much what I was trying to relate in that write)

The inbalance is interesting and I agree, the medical people have thus far not managed to account for any chemical inbalances. A guy like me is rather fearful of looking at life inbalances. We know that's a real situation.

I'm not one to have experienced night terrors at all. But who knows. If you told me this sruff gets this intense 10 years ago I'd have laughed it off. Yes it is confusing and frightening.

In terms of dream catchers, crystals, red and the Feng Shui. I think I'll start studying that stuff and take up your advice.

Thank you for the time you spent here, your caring, your discussion and advice. I an extremely grateful to you for it.

Love at you
