Confusing sayings

I hate roller coasters also.

I don't know why, but I have never been scared watching any so-called horror movie/s.  I find them most of them to be funny/stupid/silly rather than scary.  Those who do get scared with them though maybe doing it more to obtain 'bad'/edgy addrenalin rather than the fear itself.  Addrenalin of any sort is well known to be additive to many.

Another thing I can't quite fathom is the concept of bad dreams... aka nightmares.  All I can say is if they do exist I am yet to have one in my entire life.  I've never had a nightmare... you figure icon_nixweiss

I think that I fear things more in real life than I do in the movies or dreams.  Things like what will become of us if the NWO succeeds... or what if the passing of Nibiru is to happen as they say... ie misplace all our solar system, axis shift etc.  If any of that were to happen I have no doubt we'd all know what scary is about... big time.

Andrew, that is what I was thinking when I started reading this thread -- there are mnay people who become addicted to adrenaline rushes.  Not so good for the adrenals, though.

Like you Andrew I don't scare easily. This was a problem with my cousins and male relatives as a child.:D  I find most horror type movies a bit silly and I don't like blood and gore. There have been a few that had a twisted psychological plot that I found disturbing and I will say that The Exorcist when it first came out scared me as a young adult.

I too think many who enjoy being scared or startled are looking for an adrenaline rush. I was never an adrenaline seeker ,just the opposite. I couldn't or shouldn't ride roller coasters etc. due to motion sickness though that hasn't stopped me from experimenting.

Things that scare me are too horrible to speak of.

Stewart said Nibiru was destroyed by tptb, so I guess if thats true its one less worry:) Although I do think it is a little sad in regards to all the people living there.

Hellraiser made me feel quite awful, horrible atmosphere in those movies:? Really liked house on haunted hill when I was a kid. Or younger:P

Hi Polly,MercyNow,Headspace and everyone else...

T'is a funny phenomena adrenalin rushes.  What's unique about them is that most who seek them are not actually seeking them conscienciously so to speak.  They are in fact directing their focus on a related issue only to then hopefully derive a sensation which they may not link directly to an adrenaline rush, even though it is this rush which makes it all work for them.

eg.

After lengthy clinical tests conducted over many years into WHY gambling addicts are as such, it was found that they too seek the 'Negative Adrenalin' rush associated with losing, rather than anything associated to winning.  This makes sense given that they loose far more often than they win, yet they still persist. 

I've no doubt there'd be many other examples like that, including watching horror movies...  of someone doing something to achieve something unrelated to their perception of what they're actually deriving/achieving from 'it'... if that makes any sense..   icon_megagrin

Well, Andrew, I have had a few "nightmares" and let me tell you, they are not pleasant. The ones I have had actually wake me up and then I find it hard to go back to sleep.

When MN mentioned the Exorcist, I began to think (yes, I do that once in a while), and I realized that a lot of my terrible dreams or horrors do have to do with religion - devils, demons, type of stuff. Funny that...I haven't really believed in religion for over 20 years. But the devil shows up in my dreams every once in a while giving me that horrible grin of his. Hmmm...wonder who it really is?

Hi Dt... I should clarify myself more here... I have had and do have bad dreams, many of them in fact.  But I have never had a dream that makes me wake up in fear or in a frenzy.  I've slept with people in my time who had very bad nightmares, and I mean waking suddenly in a cold sweat screaming off their heads.  I have on occasions nearly suffered Cononarys when this happened... talk about a freight.lolol  So I have no doubt these things exist, but I've never had one.

None the less DT...

So do I, Andrew...so do I...but you know, I still love my dream lives better than my "real" life. So very much more interesting.

That's a thread topic all on its own DT... and a good one at that.
