Author Topic: Religion teacher thinks Pre - REM sleep and astral projection are demonic  (Read 2082 times)

So she was talking about possession and sometimes before you fall asleep you may hear the spirits calling you or chatting amongst themselves.
(This is Pre REM sleep and affects a large percentage of people)

She then said how her friend had an experience with a demon, she talked about it pinning her chest down and stuff.
(This a night horror version of sleep paralysis)

Someone said that before or on the verge of death many people see heaven.
(This is probably sleep paralysis, injuring your nervous system (car accident, disease) also injures your ability to effectively stay in deep sleep or remain paralyzed for the correct amount of time.)
Actually, it could be just that the people think the tunnel of light(tunnel vision) is heaven also.

Should I tell her all these things are literally heightened dream awareness or should I not? She's scaring the students by saying if you walk alone at night you are prone to possession and stuff.

Should I just back off? It's pissing me off how ignorant she is on the subject.

Get this, the students were actually buying it and they are like 14.

It's impossible to argue with fundies. Let her wallow in her ignorance.

Yeah she said,"If you acknowledge the demon it leaves you open to possession"

And I'm like, many cases of possession were proven to be impulsive/pyschotic mental disorders, post traumatic stress sufferers, and people that think it's funny and just want to be on the discovery channel.

I was going to explain but she would probably get offended or embarrassed.

It's like believing everything you see on Facebook.

Most of them are regular facebook users lols and one of the girls started yelling and freaking out because she thought her friend was going to become possessed.

My teacher is either a joke or really, really, REALLY ignorant.
