Sleep Paralysis | The Paul Family + VR / AR + Flying?

Dream 1

I had this dream shortly after going to sleep, I was in maybe a hotel room with some of my family (my brother GC, my parents, and one or two of my other brothers), and I remember getting in bed & trying to go to sleep or actually falling asleep in the dream.

I then felt someone / something pushing me from behind with what I assumed to be their feet, I am not sure if this woke me up inside the dream or if I was still awake inside the dream, my eyes were still closed, then I felt someone / something pushing me from the front, and so I tried to open my eyes to see what was going on.

Power Absorption | People Randomly Ranting & Attacking People

Dream 1

This dream involved me being in a competition where several teams with superpowers were competing against each other, and the character Izuku Midoriya from the anime TV show My Hero Academia was one of the people on my team; I had a superpower, but I am not sure what my superpower was.

We were up against a team who had a person on their team with a power absorption / copy superpower that allowed them to temporarily copy or absorb someone else’s superpowers if that person or something with some part of their body on it (skin, body fluids, et cetera) touches under their legs / body.

Eva Green Talks Nudity Her Twin Sister And Her Crush On Jack Nicholson | W Magazine

Eva Green Talks Nudity Her Twin Sister And Her Crush On Jack Nicholson | W Magazine

What Is It?

Here is the description for this video:

Eva Green, the French actress who stars in the Tim Burton film “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” opens up about her twin sister, playing a Bond girl in “Casino Royale”, her crush on Jack Nicholson, and why she doesn’t have a problem dying or being nude in movies.

My Thoughts

I think that Eva Green is an underrated and overlooked actress who deserves more work, I am still impressed with how she went from speaking English with a heavy French accent (which was cool) in the past to now speaking an elegant more British style English that is better than my accent et cetera (I wish that I could speak English as well as she does and in a similar accent 😀 ), and she is one of my favorite actresses who I often forget about because I rarely see her in anything and she is not usually talked about even when she is in movies / TV shows.

The Shining (Film)

Source: IMDb

What is it?

The 1980 British-American psychological horror film The Shining that was directed by the director Stanley Kubrick, was based on the 1977 novel The Shining by the author Stephen King, and stars the actor Jack Nicholson and the actress Shelley Duvall.

What is it about?

This is how the IMDb describes this film:

A family heads to an isolated hotel for the winter where an evil and spiritual presence influences the father into violence, while his psychic son sees horrific forebodings from the past and of the future.

What do you like about it?

I liked the visuals and cinematography, some of the sounds and music, the location, and how the film ends in a way that confuses you and makes you think as you try to interpret that reveal.

What would someone else like about it?

I think that people will like how this film still holds up all of these years later, and that they will realize that it is a classic that has inspired other horror films.

Final Thoughts

I saw this on Netflix on an old CRT television and I was surprised how good the visuals looked for a movie from 1980, but I did not like some of the early dialogue and I did not like a lot of Shelley Duvall’s performance (mostly her delivery of her lines) until near the end when she did not talk as much.

I also think that this movie should have been shorter or that they should have taken that extra time to better explain some of the history of the hotel and / or to explain more about what was really going on there.

One of my favorite scenes is probably when the character Dick Hallorann (who was the cook and was played by Scatman Crothers) was talking to the character Danny Torrance (who was the son and was played by Danny Lloyd) as he ate some ice cream, that scene is what really pulled me into this movie, and the movie kept my attention for a lot of the movie after that.

While the movie had its flaws, those flaws were still not enough to stop this from being a classic that still holds up well, and it left me wanting to learn more about what was really going on there.

The end,
