Creative Speculation

.something was sitting *ON* me, I feel it sit, or lay down, *NEXT* to me. Entirely different...

As for the body and mind sleeping separatley.... I have, on several occasions, woken up and felt paralyzed from the neck down, and it takes a few minutes for feeling to come to my body. However, I don't ascribe this to anything paranormal. I suffered a very serious neck injury in an accident 10 years ago, resulting in a small tear in my spinal cord, which allows the cerebrospinal fluid to leak inside my spinal cord, causing a fluid filled cyst (known as a syrinx) to grow, basically destroying my spinal cord from the inside out. I also have "tethered cord syndrome", which is where part of my spinal cord has attached itself to one of my vertebrae. It is right on the C-4 level, and if it ever does tear loose, I drop where I'm standing, paralyzed from the neck down. So, when I experience the waking paralysis, I just ascribe it to my condition. I just lay there and think "well, here it is, the day has come", because my neurosurgeon has told me that that day *WILL* come.

If you're interested, google "syringomyelia" ... There are 3 types: Congenital, Post Traumatic & Idiopathic.. Mine is post traumatic..

Peace,
