What is the normal course of events during an eposide of sleep paralysis. Is it the result of trying to pull oneself out of a deep sleep because of a very frightening nightmare?

Or does the nightmare occur because of the sleep paralysis and the person begins to awaken?

Also, is it usual to dream of evil spirits during such an episode?

I'm 52 married he works a lot & empty nester.Recently gone through some major changes in life;child overseas;
mom ill; I was ill; remodeled home (shallow yes but stressful); "lost" a dear friend to alcoholism & 1 really disappointed me. Been looking for a purpose/friends in my my life for awhile and I cannot seem to find my niche. Work would be fine but spent most my time raising children and no one wants to hire me. I have tried joining a church, rejoining old friends, joining a book club- things like that, but I have not found any friends in which I have a connection. I've always been pretty popular, am attractive,a good sense of humor & try to be caring. I have faults of course but none that I know that would turn people off. I am a people person & treasure my female friends but the 2 I lost were my closest- the others are nice but it seems hard to build a relationship with them for 1 reason or another.No problems, just no connection.I like deeper women & many are not-only care about shopping, etc. Not used to this & lonely. Others like this? Suggestions? p.s, tire easily since illness

Why is it that some people cant make friends and others are so popular?
I just was wondering is there something in a person from the time their born to make them unpopular. Not shy but just something that keeps a person from haveing friends or keeping them. Is there also something that makes ppl more likely to be popular

Was god know to mankind since the development of language? (Critical Thinking)

God existed even before the existent of time, so let is not debate about this question, save it for the PH.D philosophy or astrophysics ^_^ The following point of views about the existent of god and religion and science may be interesting or ridiculous, who know? You read it and decide yourself ^_^ but it sure will benefit you. ^_^ (I can’t post the this document in 1 page so I have to use “Add detail” to post the whole document.)

Do you believe in evolution? If yes then continue reading.
Do you believe in the cave man? If no then discontinue reading.

There are million of books, statues, materials that related to God. Correct?
There are billion of people believe in God. Correct?
There are million of people that have fought and sacrifice to protect their own god? Correct?

The cave-man had never ever understood any of the statement above. Correct?

Several months ago my friend had a dream that I had died, and she had to call me to see if I was okay, which apparantly I am. (We usually talk every day, but we had been busy and hadn't talked much for a few days) Last night she had another dream that it was Midevil times, she was dressed in a long dress (like in a servant dress) and went outside in the street, there was a bathtub in a wagon parked along side the street, she got in there, then she got scared when she seen a man walking down the street, so she sat up and had to cover up with something so she reached to the foot of the tub, and here it was a coffin not a tub. She woke up right away but was wondering what these dreams mean. Just a note of interest, a former co-worker of hers has just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, they were not close at all, but did work together for a few years. Please set her mind at ease.

Everyone there has shiny new cars and are very concerned with having a lot of status symbol like things...purses, watches, gadgets, etc...I don't feel that much like I want super nice things. I am okay with stuff from target and the occasional nice item. I would like to fit in more, but I almost feel like I am expected to change my values to relate. I don't relate and don't expect to, but I am trying to understand. Any thoughts on the matter? I am about 5-6 years older than most of the employees... Also, just wanted to add I am interested in getting to know people from work better, just for work relationship, but frankly, I start the conversations and ask how their weekend was, but not many people ask me back.

Aren't they worth even a wee section of their own? After all the great things they do and have done for women can't they also have a place for themselves on a supposedly equal forum such as this?

If I could I'd make a Men Appreciation section in here. Thank you men for being.....well........men!!!

Especially MY man!

Full with oil midle east was helped by modern nation to explore oil. unfortunately certain tribes got control on profits ( by help of west) and now situation has come that they have made virtually a big part of humanity as slaves with no human and democratic rightes; natural resouces belong to all humanity. Is not it time for united effort by all world nations to intervene and help stop all time wars in region( these are simple greed issues, religion has nothing to do with it , only name of a major religion is being used for selfish gains). FIRST step must be to bring all democracy and non-tribal governments in all arab plus region as soon as possible. (before they run out of gas and life)
