it's a 3 hour silent film about the American Civil War and the rise of the KKK but I recommend watching at least the first 1.5 hours as it's some of the best cinematography I've ever seen out of the era. Elsie Stonewall a cute! I will add to this:
it was made in 1915 but it's received numerous awards despite being a (((racist))) civil war film and was monumental in developing modern day filming techniques
I'm not even a film buff but I recognized the amount of effort and perfection that went into this film as soon as I started watching it.
Like I said, the first act (1.5 hours) is definitely worth watching. The 2nd act is a bit over the top which is probably why the NAACP tried to ban it (unsuccessfully) here in the states (lots of blackface and nigger jokes in that part).
In all honesty, it wouldn't surprise me if you can't watch it in Britain. Let me know what you all find out pls.
If you can't, let me know and I'll upload it somewhere that you can watch it.

Reminder that we haven't had a Monarch since 1689.
Reminder that 1689 was illegal.
Reminder that the ancient bloodline of Alfred the Great must be restored.

I'm very serious about this post
Brits love their art, but I think this is a piece of American art that you can appreciate from over 100 years ago.
Can you guys watch it at least?

Whenever I've had it the figure starts at the end of my bed and slowly looms over me getting closer to my face. Not sure how long it lasts but it feels like an eternity.
I think you're right that people are snobby about them. I love how 'simple' the filming and stuff is, and they're all relatively low budget which adds to them I think.
Aye I've only ever had it lying on my back too. I do still sleep like that though but haven't had it in quite a while.
Hudson Diaz
>Have you ever experienced it?
I have, a few mild cases but once where I really was fully awake/aware and couldn't move a limb, had to make a concious/deliberate attmpt to move and only broke out of it by wiggling my jaw or some weird shit, couldn't move for a good 5 secs or so, saw no figures or anything though.
I've read you're supposed to hold your breath, no idea if it works.
Caleb Foster
>it's some sort of evolutionary thing Most definitely, like why people are scared of monsters. Sleep paralysis can also be linked to schizophrenia
Ayden Williams
Sure, but it's obviously a film tied to the American experience, why the fuck would you try and get Brits to watch it? It would be like me asking you to go read about the Kokoda trail, you could, but it wouldn't affect you profoundly because it's part of the Australian identity.
I literally couldn't care less about some dumb yanks killing other dumb yanks over something that was already outlawed in the civilized (i.e. British) parts of the world.
Josiah Sullivan
Just been having a read of the wiki on it and it says about 5% of people experience it regularly, though doesn't define what regularly means.
But it does agree that sleeping on one's back makes it much more likely.
It's the need to make a conscious effort to move that's most scary to me I think. The first few times it happened I basically thought I was dead.

Because Brits literally founded America.
I thought it would be nice to point them to a video which documents the aftermath of them losing the Colonies, and also what came of cinematography as a result.

The English Civil War is more interesting anyway.

As a slight aside, has anybody else ever had this:
I've had it three times and it sounded like a shotgun being fired inside my head.
Whenever I've had it I've not been able to do anything to combat it. Like you will yourself, with all your mind's power, to move but nothing happens. Then after a few seconds or however long it lasts (feels like a long time but likely isn't at all) you'll blink or be able to turn your head or something and it will stop.
I do imagine it's very similar to how you would feel waking up from a coma to find out you're completely paralysed.
The schizophrenia thing makes sense I suppose. I have always blamed it on a shit sleeping pattern.
I used to have sleep paralysis around the time I drank a lot.
Never happened before or after that.

>has anybody else ever had this >exploding head syndrome
no lad but i've seen a few cases of bloaty head syndrome in my time

I saw it about ten years ago. I think the perception of it is very different because at the time it was made there was almost no stigma towards KKK, but still a very real stigma towards non-whites. Literally all the black people in it are played by white people in blackface makeup.
Quick rundown is that after the civil war, the Klan realises that having shitloads of black people in government will be a disaster because they'll put their own interests first and everyone else will suffer. They end up chasing them the fuck away. That's most of what I remember.
It's definitely a Sup Forums film, but probably not too appealing to a general audience unless you have a solid interest in classic cinema. It was one of the first epics and has a firm place in history. I think it's great for what it is, but it's not exactly one of my favourites.

Anyone ever managed to lucid dream? It's always advised that you record your dreams in detail and then look for anything that keeps occurring in them. When you find it in a future dream, you realise you're dreaming. I never found any re-occurring details so I gave up after a couple of months.
Austin Johnson
never had a lucid dream but i do keep having a reoccurring dream that i can suck my own dick
disappointed when i wake up and can't actually do it
Jeremiah Nelson
Maybe you did learn how to do it but the excitement woke you up?
Levi Roberts
Yeh that makes sense, could be the same with me but can't really remember if it ties in.
g'night
Yeh I get that too. Hypnic jerk it's called. Apparently it's because your brain senses your muscles relaxing and reads it as if you're falling so wakes you up and makes you 'flinch' or whatever to keep you safe.
kek
I used to as a kid but haven't in a long time. I barely ever seem to remember my dreams anymore, makes sense I guess since I gave up on them a long time ago. Might try again soon.
>The official Leave campaigns made the strategic decision to wage a poisonous xenophobic campaign which scapegoated migrants and refugees for all the multiple social injustices
But there was only one official campaign (i.e. not campaignS) and it was bluepilled as fuck on immigration. It was Leave.EU that was even remotely 'xenophobic'. Owen simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth on anything, even when he's bending his own narrative to match Corbyn's newly-announced one.

Yes. A few times. It's not as good as you think.
It isn't like a virtual reality you can control at all.
You only have limited control at best, and you'll wake up if you try to gain more. The detail in anything is absolutely minimal and most of your senses will usually not work, but you sort of don't notice. The dream resists any change you try to make and forcibly distracts you with other things. You have a kind of brain fog all the time from the lack of and control you have and the lack of ambience in the environment.
If you're thinking you can just immediately convert a dream into a sex dream with your waifu, there is absolutely no way you'll manage that. You'd have to try and have that dream in the first place realise you're dreaming, then you effectively go along with what the dream already was with some ability to influence it in a basic way. You probably wouldn't even be able to change position manually.
I know when Sup Forums managed to get Richard Stallman to comment on what he thought of Sup Forums, he said it was full of inane comments.

When I have realised I am dreaming and tried to lucid dream, it seems that everything in the dream tries to fight against me being self aware.
As soon as I realise it is a dream and try to take control, absolute chaos happens, there are earthquakes, hurricanes, complete and total mayhem trying to push me out as a I try to bring order.
It's like my dream state is trying to push me out, I see horrors and untold demons and momsters, like they are trying to scare me awake. My only choice is to scream until I wake myself up.

If you are aware it's a dream, it is lucid. There can be an extra layer where you think you're aware, but you're actually just dreaming about yourself being aware of a dream.
You have to hide your conciousness form the dream itself by going along with it until you feel in control enough, then you can start doing things manually. You can then change things but it will make you less asleep and less in control. You can become more asleep by spinning around, but that also reduces your ability to realise its a dream so you'll probably just lose awareness of that and return to a normal dream.
I've never managed to fully change the scene without stupid shit taking over or waking up.
Great song to play while drinking far too much whiskey, smoking a full 30g pack of tobacco in one day and crying because the love of your life, the girl you thought you would marry, build a home and a life with and who would stick by your side forever, leaves you.
>If you are aware it's a dream, it is lucid. There can be an extra layer where you think you're aware, but you're actually just dreaming about yourself being aware of a dream. I have dreams where something implausible happens and I realize its a dream at that point.
