Many Nostradamian students speculate that he[Nostradamus] suffered from frequent sleep paralysis.. I'll tell you why..... Nostradamus practiced many ancient formulas for achieving astral project (freeing the astral body from the physical body which as the philosopher Pluto explained made it able to freely travel not only space but also time). One of them in peculiar when detailed and explained is very similar to a sleep paralysis episode. Some of them[Nostradamian students] believe that he not only had frequent sleep paralysis but that he perhaps used this as a tool to achieve astral projection.
Thats ill. I've never heard of him experiencing it but it seems possible. From the research I've done on the subject most people do experience sleep paralysis but the majority of time it's experienced when your flat on your back. At first I didn't like it but now I simply shrug it off. I used to think it was demons and devils trying to get me but it's a "condition" actually.
Have you ever had sort of "out of body" feelings during sleep paralysis?
I can remember ONE time were it felt like I was leaving my body. I felt "blue" (I can't describe the feeling or what I actually mean by it) and was at the stage of leaving but decided not to. All the other feelings come from me sleeping on my back and when I'm dreaming. When I'm dreaming I know when its happening and sometimes I can see my room.
I consider myself to be agnostic (so I think that occult or black arts are just rubbish),
I'm a firm believer in GOD but I don't believe the arts and occult are rubbish. I've
NEVER dabbled with boards, spells, agrippas or stuff like that but I have researched the stuff. I only researched it so I could know what I was up against.
I don't really believe in astral projection (since it seems scientifically impossible)
Thats something 2-0-6 would say.
But I have noticed something about people who claim to have achieved astral projection... they also suffer from sleep paralysis.. and their methods of achieving so-called astral projection actually involve inducing awareness during sleep paralysis.
Yeah I've never left my body (I felt I was about to once) nor do I want to visit the astral realm by walking through mirrors and times. Thats forbidden and my beliefs prohibit such actions. Like I said I know when I'm going through the paralysis but I can wake myself from it now. Another thing thats weird is when it happens it usually happens at a certain time during the morning which is 3-4 am. I've tried to remember the dates of the experiences but thats no help. I don't know if it's bi weekly, once a month etc etc etc? What I do know is I'll wake from sleep and it's hard to go back to sleep but when I do eventually go back to sleep thats when it happens.
