Anyone been in one of these? How was your experience?
>>17947214
No.
Yep. Did a 90 minute session last year. It was a very unique experience.
>>17947214
I has an engineer friend who built and maintained a full working sensory deprivation tank. It was OK, but honestly kind of boring the first few times I went in. It's very salty, and very quiet. It's very comfortable. But beyond that I think you need to have some real meditation experience under your belt to get anything out of it.
Didn't talk to him for a few years, then reconnected. I can safely say that using his tank cost him his sanity. To be fair, he would float on high doses of psychedelics, sometimes for marathon sessions of 8-14 hours. If you've ever been in a tank, a two hour session can feel like an eternity.
He came to believe he time traveled, was being followed by the government, and spoke with aliens. I can't say honestly he was wrong, I don't live his life. But I can say that the hours he spent in his tank did not enlighten him, they made him a neurotic, paranoid, antisocial mess.
Totally changed my opinion on tanks. I think they probably have a place in meditation, and tripping in a tank is something everyone should try once. Beyond that, isolation is just not good for people. You can find deep understanding, but at cost to sanity and health. There's better ways.
how legit is this and why people call this a demonic thing
>>17946918
It's legit, it's not spiritual, it is however, the ultimate form of self-delusion. You literally convince yourself to hallucinate an interactive being.
If you have that much will-power and energy, go do something constructive with it. Please. Don't do this.
>>17946923
Thanks. I wasnt going to do this because it seems like some spooky shit and some of these imaginary friends caused by what seems forced schizo apparentely can be forceful and abusive. The fact that they dont go away easily makes this a thousand times scarier.
>>17946923
Listen to this person.
Tulpas can get out of hand very quickly. Not many people at all have had what you would call 'successful' endeavors with them. You LITERALLY make yourself go crazy for this to work, and there may be no going back.
So, just don't. Enjoy the creppy stories but just leave it there.
I want to live in a psychic hospital as a lab rat for psychic power, magic and altered states.
Look for this guy, he'll Take You There.
>>17946899
Ask CIA if they take you as one.

You might be able to do a psychiatric hospital
So apparently on the 7th of June Tod Ellsworth uploaded a new video, consisting of his frantic breathing and possibly whispering and some still images from a warehouse. Any idea what this could mean?
slow down. who the fuck is this guy and why is it relevant
>>17946819
I -THINK- he might be one of the first people to get some sort of relative, "proof", of the erratas system.
>>17946819
It's a supposedly ARG with little to no interaction. Previously hyped by some indi band and yet some dude from /x/ on his YouTube channel. After people got fed up by this blatant role playing the "ARG" stopped.
The guy in the pic is some criminal. I think he was a rapist. It was featured in a video by the indi guys because it's edgy and so mysterious
Does anybody here use dreams for anything proper? Not just dicking around in lucid dreams.
I've heard of people using dreams as ways of receiving informatuon.
Is this just a deep level of intuition? Or is extra information actually being transmitted in the dream?
>>17946744
Use the dream thread. >>17900116
>>17946744
Lovely pic, OP.
>>17946744
Pretty nice pic OP. Can you post mar?
It is well known that metal interferes with radio signals as well as mental telepathy.
It is also known that humans (and animals) have iron in their blood.
It was forbidden by the ancient Israelites to drink blood as well as modern Jews, Muslims and to some extent Christians today.
Could it be that by forbidding consumption of blood, these religions sought to open up their ability to telepathically communicate with their gods?
No, there would still be iron in their blood. You get it from meat too, and rye bread, seeds, green vegetables...
>>17946700
The iron in meat comes from blood. And no animal products have very small amounts of iron, you would have to eat large amounts to just get enough iron, let alone the amount of iron needed to block telepathy. Also, people in ancient cultures ate meat very rarely and their main diet was bread, especially in the Levant and mesopotamia.
This is a thread for general stuff about Antarctica. Pic related - a steel door that is found on Antarctica on Google Earth. It could be Aliens or Nazis. You never know.

Can you not even check the front page? >>17946631
>steel door
Ya ok bud.
>>17946642
That was posted literally two minutes before I posted this. I didn't see it. Just let this thread die I guess.
Any ideas on why the shoes of the victims are always missing in these cases? General Missing 411 thread.
>>17946580
no idea whatsoever
however very interessting stuff david has to tell i just watched a couple of times some of his talkshow appereances
wasn't he planning to do a documentary on this? do you know if it was already released?
>>17946580
>saw something that knocked their socks off
Haha
But nah that's strange as bump for interest
>>17946580
Criminals or whoever is responsible for this stuff are destroying a piece of evidence. One can check shoes for the soil to determine where the victim has been, and get other information.
I heard something about a spirit who snatches ppl from their shoes. literally.

Hey /x/ I'm interested in writing a story based on true accounts (As true as i can judge of course) about extra terrestrial encounters, I've seen enough UFO's in one life time to cover that basis but do any of you have stories about close encounters? Second or third, im not expecting everyone to be abducted here.
Also any cryptid encounters would be awesome to hear too i might include it

Is it possible to induce a lucid dream?
I've had semi-lucid dreams before, as in, I had sort of a vague feeling it was a dream, and could loosely control some of my actions in it, but it wasn't vivid or fully lucid.
How can I force lucid dreaming, preferably without drugs, /x/?
When your dreaming, just count your fingers or pretend to climb a rope with your hands, this is what usually makes me lucid dream but you got to remember
>>17946135
Become more aware of yourself. And your consciousness.

Anything in a dream that conflicts with reality/physics will be ignored by your brain. The "trick" is coming up with a habit/sign that you use to periodically test reality. Dreaming mind is very bad at numbers, and you have no sense of kinesthesia (muscle/nerve feedback) while asleep, so your reality check should involve these. My personal favorite is holding your nose closed and attempting to breath through it - you know you're dreaming if you can take a normal breath despite the obstruction.
In order to remember your reality check in a dream, it must become an ingrained habit, something that even your hazy subconscious thinks to do. Do your reality check multiple times a day, particularly when seeing or hearing something "weird". After a few days, you will think to do it during a dream. When it fails, this kicks your conscious mind into gear and gives you some lucid control. Hardest part is remaining asleep; I've literally woken myself up from the sheer excitement of realizing I was dreaming.
Good luck!
I want to be sp00ked, but it takes a really gud story to sp00k me when it doesn't affect me do to being miles away.

Really, 229 here.
I might have a few things to share.
Have you heard of voodoo village?
What are some of the saddest and inexplicable cases you know about?
For me, it's Kayelyn Louder. Basically, she called the police stating that she heard 2 people that were in her home, but her roommate didn't believe her and there was never evidence of people being inside. That same day, she ran out barefoot from her home without her phone or wallet. After missing for several months, her body was found in the Jordan River in Utah. The autopsy couldn't confirm how she died, and the case to this day remains unsolved.
This case freaks me out because they didn't assume foul play and that it was suicide based on the fact that she was let go from her job recently before the incident.
If I had been fired and I went missing, the police would quickly assume it was suicide and that would be it?
Also, her body was found in an industrial area a few miles from her home. What would cause her to walk miles and miles barefoot to kill herself in a river?
The facts just don't add up to suicide. I might buy a hallucination from, say, suddenly going off anti-depressants, but she still didn't have history of serious mental illness.

Here is the footage, same from pic. You can also see her talking to herself or to her dog when she takes it outside, and when she runs out.
Elisa Lam got murdered mysteriously, kinda looked like she was scared of something following her and shit.
This is her last known recording.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ_E6l1P86U&feature=youtu.be
>>17945843
It could be something, could be nothing.
Even without a history of mental illness perhaps she was mentally ill and has some kind of mental break.
In any case, imagining the what ifs gives some nice spoopy thoughts.
>>17945863
I remember that. No one knew she was in the water tank until people started complaining about how their water tasted. Really unnerving
