    Marina you foul succubus!! I’d have to agree that it was added cause the men were feeling left out. And she is the total package wonkerine much like hotforprofits.

    Hello Marina,

    First let me say that your videos and website are wonderful.You my dear,are the total package!Such beauty in one so smart,is as rare as it is refereshing.
    My girlfriend is from the Repulic of Georgia and while she speaks well,I find it fascinating to help her latch on to the nuances of her adopted language.Sometimes it gets pretty funny,kind of like watching “I Love Lucy” with subtitles.(…and yelling!)
    Keep up the great work Darlin’ and I will write back with some of my Georgian adventures.

    I found this website while trying to explain what happened to me last night, and decided I would share.

    Last night I woke up from a dream, only to realize something was laying on top of me. I saw a white arm which was keeping me pinned down as I tried to move. I felt like it was a man and he was trying to rape me. I tried to scream but no sound would come out of my mouth. Then the white hand moved over my face, I think he was trying to suffocate me. I tried to roll out of my bed, but I felt weak, powerless. I absolutely could not move or make a sound. I went back to sleep as quickly as I had woken up. This phenomenon is called sleep paralysis and may explain the myth of succubi and incubi, though it does not make it any less frightening!

    My worst nightmare? I suddenly became aware that I was asleep. I struggled to wake up, and couldn’t. It was truly scary, like being nailed inside a coffin. I finally “awoke” in bed, then realized that I was STILL asleep. I awoke a second time, and this time I was truly awake. A feeling of being ALIVE and IN THIS WORLD overwhelmed me. To this day, I wonder if perhaps I didn’t have a heart attack while asleep. Perhaps I truly came back from the dead?

    I can vividly remember a nightmare wherein a demon, who was profusely dripping acid from his eyes, nose and mouth, was menacingly hovering over me in my bed. His mouth was open and i could see his teeth which were filed to points. I could also hear a huge destructive noise during the short bad dream. It sounded like I was in hell. It seemed very real, and I woke dripping sweat, paranoid and with body aches and pains. The noise was the racket made by a road construction crew working nights up the street.

    Welcome to Rome where you are as likely to meet a god as a man… Petronius

    The community of gods (the quarter of Rome where the temples were) was occupied by gods and immortals. These thaumaturges were divided into 3 classes depending on how they acquired these “powers”: an incubare used 10 men a day for a year, a succubare used 10 women for a year, and an immortal was someone who had seen the fates (norns, moires, wierd sisters, …). The incubare saw the fates during the process of becoming a thaumaturge, so an incurbare was also immortal. The succubare did not meet the fates. The incubare and succubare both had a “fine body”, which means they looked like they did not have any pores visible. The immortals with “coarse bodies” had convinced the fates to do their bidding.

    Simon Magus was an incubare and decided to raise money for charity by renting the Coliseum for his death — by going up in flames because it was time for his “maintenance dose”. Forget the Saint Peter scene — going up was not his intention.

    God your personality is bangin’. I don’t really like talking about nightmares. :cry: But what was your nightmare about Marina? (You lost your brain?)

  9. matalexwolf on July 30th, 2008 6:41 am

    Hi Marina,
    Would like to start by saying what a lovely dress you have in this vid, very elegant and you of course beautiful as ever.
    Nightmares, oh my, always starts well, always involves a very old house. Sunny out side playing around but then a sudden urge to leg it inside and lock all doors and windows. As I hurry around the house, I am aware of someone, or thing trying to get inside to catch me. Its now dark outside but I can see Dracula scraping his way in through a small window. I just manage to close it before he gets in. He smiles at me then gone. I turn and see only half the room as all dark at the oposite end. I know I have to go there to escape but too scared so I clime into the walls which are narrow, wooden, dusty full of bugs and things. I crawl along for what seems ages hearing Dracula trying to break the walls to get a hold of me. Sometimes I get stuck unable to move. When I manage to get to the other end of the room, I push open a secret hatch and sneak past him as he frantically scrapes the walls. Once I’m outside its all sunny again but the feeling is not so good. Sinister feelings that make me shudder feeling cold. It is then I find myself walking alone along a beach. Always to my left are buildings but no people. In front of me a resturant, about half a mile away. To my right an ever growing stormy sea with waves getting bigger each time I look. I choose not to look behind. I run to the resturant just managing to close the door behind me in time to stop this huge wave washing over me. Inside the resturatnt many people sit oblivious to the stormy sea, eating, drinking and laughing. Its only when the glass begins to break with the preasure of the sea that they start panicing, running to the exit. The sea crashes in sweaping everything away in its path. I am drowning unable to swim to the surface when a white horse appears and rescues me, or so I think. I awake just as the horses face turns into Dracula.
    This nightmare has been with me since I can remember, pretty much the same.. Always feels weird unable to go back to sleep because if I do, I am back on the beach only this time being chased by many white horses…….

    Another is similar to rgabashmoon comments below. My late father sat bolt up right in the loft, all happy, but dead. Yeah, not so good.

    Once in hospital, I dreamt I was naked walking around a fate buying hotdogs and burgers. As I ate the food, blood started to drip from the bread covering my body. Cant think if it was a reaction to the hospital food, laying there naked for best part of six months or the twice weekly blood tests. Certainly wasn’t the nurses causing me nightmares! :wink:

    Marina, please do feel free at anytime to visit me in my sleep :cool:

    Be Affraid, very affraid :smile:

  10. ragabashmoon on July 29th, 2008 2:09 am

    Ha I never thought to ask of these words, but that’s really interesting!

    ragabashmoon replied on July 29th, 2008 2:11 am:

    Oh and my worst nightmare was probably just after my dad died, he was back and it was weird and scary cause I knew my dad was dead, yet there he was just fine, and it was like… Is this really my dad, or is it a demon pretending to be him? My mom had similar dreams too, though hers were mostly “People know he died, how are we going to explain that he’s back?”

    matalexwolf replied on July 30th, 2008 6:48 am:

    Hey ragabashmoon,
    Same happened to me after my father died. Did you get any weird dreams before he died? I had one which changed my thinking towards life and ‘the other side’ - as OB1 Canobe says in Star Wars to Vader, ‘You srike me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly ever imangine’ - if I lose my keys, I just call out to dad and ask him to help me find them or if I have trouble in mind, I know hes somehow helping me figure things out. I guess in spirit terms, what can never be born, can never die, we are all universal spirits experiencing a human exisitance. I dunno, like to think that way when it comes to many friends and family lost over the years :smile:

    Be well

  11. superdanilchik on July 29th, 2008 12:41 am

    It is very interesting to remark how Italian maintained the Latin word and structures for both terms,then in Italian succube is also an adjective meaning ”dominated”,’’slave” or ”captive” For instance ”marito succube” means a hen-pecked husband… :smile: anyway MARINO4KA one of my worst nightmares is not seeing you anymore!

  12. animalntaz on July 28th, 2008 3:09 pm

    Your description of an incubus for its carnal relations is similar to that of a vampire. Is that partially where they get a description of a vampire from? I forgot, I know there are many interpretations for vampires.
    I don’t really have a worse nightmare. Just unpleasant ones of either getting lost, bugs and spiders, or on rare occasions vampires. I use to have a fear of falling downstairs, but I haven’t had a dream like that in years. Oh, and I hate having the kind of dream where my teeth are falling out, or looking deformed or something like that.
    I remember my first nightmare when i was a toddler. I dreamt that I was lying in my crib, and it was all dark. And one of my stuffed animals, which was a small, triangular-shape dog, suddenly grew teeth and jumped off from the floor as he was growling towards me. And then I woke up. It may of had something to do, in real life, of a mentally sick puppy, a German Shepard, that bit me in the face for no apparent reason. My family had to put that puppy down, and I think I still have a little bit of bite impressions, that is barely visible as I aged, on the right side of my face. Hope this wasn’t too depressing. :twisted:

    My worst nightmare was reoccurring while I lived near a race until I was about 9. This race runs through the north side of a city just past a closed shingle factory. Anyone that lived in the north of town and wanted to walk or bike to school needed to cross a bridge over the race and pass the factory. Swimming, fishing and seining where all past times in this race and the river it is a tributary to growing up in this city. One night, I had a nightmare of being forced into the race and stabbed. This nightmare occurred sporadically until we moved just out of town.

    That picture is hot!

  23. stokesjrj1 on July 27th, 2008 5:06 pm

    Incubi and succubi they are also part of God’s design, perhaps they where referenced as the holy ghost? Subject to his will and designs, this perhaps also where we get the descriptions of a battle being fought between heaven and hell, those who are disobedient to his design of the universe creating so much disarray so as to threaten the very existence of everything. Can you image nothing, no heaven, no hell, no earth, no moon, no sun, no stars in the night, no reality just nothing? No incubi no succubi, no angels good or fallen, Now that could be a creators worst nightmare, especially if it was used in a disobedient fashion, to all in existence.

    Homework: Worst nightmare.. I can’t really say for they contain secrets. I no longer have nightmares like I did in years ago. I think when you find a happy life style they tend to go away. I do remember a scary night I woke up in the middle of the night with a hand resting against my face. :shock: I live in a two bedroom apartment… alone. Who’s hand was this? I thought! I tried to move my hands and discovered that it was my own hand. Both of my arms where paralyzed from me sleeping on them. I was twisted up in the covers so it was hard to move. What made things worse was that I had a king sized water bed. The soft squishy kind that’s hard to get in and out even when your arms are working fine. Never the less I was very freaked out I might add! :shock: I had no way of calling someone to help. Not even the beautiful bombshell neighbor Alison that lived up above me could hear my cries for help (poor insulation. You can hear voices in the upstairs bedroom.) I lye there helplessly wondering how I was going to get out of bed in the dark room with no use of my arms in a water bed that was difficult to get out of…

    They make these little plastic balls to put into a water
    matress that knocks down the wave motion and allows
    for stability, so you can get leverage when you need it.
    I sat on one w/o balls and didn’t know it was a waterbed
    until my butt hit bottom, and the subsequent wave threw
    me out onto the floor! Now I feel test before sitting on a
    strange bed. Fair warning - learn from my mistake :mrgreen:

  32. musicalmariner on July 27th, 2008 1:09 pm

    Worst nightmare? An otherwise forgettable dream turns into a situation where I’m alone with some kind of unpleasant, invisible presence that’s inching closer second by second. The longer I wait to wake up (escape) the hard it is, as this thing gradually tightens its hold around me. Sound like fun?

  40. parthenophilast on July 27th, 2008 10:40 am

    My worst nightmare is my current job. Unfortunately, it’s iterative- day after day after day. There are a bunch of Creationists there who believe that the Earth is only 5,000 years old and that evolution is “just a theory.” Some even have degrees in biology, which leaves them no excuse for believing in such silly, antiquated myths. I need to get out of there.

    pennsyltucky9 replied on July 27th, 2008 2:01 pm:

    There are an amazing number of people who still believe that. In Gen 3:20, Eve is clearly touted as “the mother of all living.” Now I’m not real good at figuring this stuff out like some, but if that was the case then how in tarnation did Cain find a wife to the east of Eden in the land of Nod as Gen 4:17 & 18 goes on to explain? Ooooh….Major continuity flaw in that movie script! But who cares about accuracy? What the hell, let’s build a theosophy on it anyway! And now Brother Finbar will pass the collection plate.

    As the late George Carlin so eloquently said: “If I’m wrong, may the Lord strike this audience dead!” Now THAT got a good belly-laugh from the crowd!

    I WISH I could say that my nightmares included a Succubus, 3 hours of top notch performance from both of us, and an inability to climax. :lol: However, I will have to just be honest :wink:

    I have this nightmare where I can’t see anything, like I’m in a place that is pitch dark. Then, I start to hear intruders, people coming toward me. So, I try to move so that I can defend myself. Yet I ironically can NOT move, even an inch. I keep on trying to rock myself left and right, getting more and more worried about the impending noises coming nearer. Then, I finally wake up all at once. It’s a wierd dream, since I can’t see anything and can’t move.

Luckily, I had no memory of my car being hit. I hear my parents fainted when they saw it. Unluckily, I spent a week in the hospital with a broken foot. They’d probably have treated it as an outpatient surgery today :roll:

    jcr replied on July 27th, 2008 10:35 am:

    but the hospital stay was pretty good, considering. I never knew that drugs could do such wonderful things for pain - and my dreams. I saw things I’ve never seen before and never seen since. I think I just found one of those things on Ebay, though :lol:

    the myth of the incubus also caused many mothers and/or child birth attendants to commit infanticide if the infants were malformed. this aspect of religion was responsible for the innocent deaths of thousands of women and children due to ignorance and superstition or religion.

    the longest English word consisting only of vowels: euouae. Origin (and meaning :wink: ) of that, please :!:

    Although it is now a word, like “scuba”, it began as a mnemonic consisting of the vowels to be sung in the phrase “seculorum Amen” ( SCUBA stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus )

    I have a word request. I want to know how “discrete” and “discreet” can mean different things, yet sound the same.

    annuddermale replied on July 27th, 2008 9:17 am:

    perhaps they’re just acceptable alternate spellings?…interesting…

    annudder :cool:

    mlady replied on July 27th, 2008 1:44 pm:

    I would have thought that too before this morning when I double-checked the meaning of each word. Discrete means individually separate and distinct, while discreet means being careful and circumspect in one’s speech and actions in order to avoid causing offense or to gain an advantage. Who would have thought it? :smile:

  54. zank on July 27th, 2008 8:10 am

    Not a word, but a phrase. ‘Goody-two-shoes’.
    When the actress Julie Andrews finished making ‘The Sound of Music’, the year after ‘Mary Poppins’ — she was starred in a fairly risque movie titled ‘The Americanisation of Emily’. She said, at the time — I don’t want to be known as ‘Goody-two-shoes’.
    Unfortunately, for her, it stuck.
    What is the origin of this expression please, Marina?

    Request a word: Sophist

  56. bobsully on July 27th, 2008 7:22 am

    This is very interesting. Sounds like a combination of superstition, and as you so correctly mention, an excuse. Dreams have a tenancy to “feel” real to those that recall fragments of these information dumps.

    Worst dream I have had is imagining I had actually murdered someone in my past, and finding that others are about to discover my deed years later. Not eating snacks before bed seems to have cured me of most bad dreams. :smile:

    where did the terms “scared the dickens” out of someone come from …and how did the term sitting shot gun end up to mean sitting in the co pilot seat

    orion_ss1 replied on July 27th, 2008 7:25 am:

    If the sitting shot-gun is confusing I’m guessing you haven’t seen that many Westerns. For a classic example watch “The Magnificent Seven”. I believe Steve McQueen rides shot-gun for Yul Brynner in one of the first scenes.

    It’s not that odd that young people today know little of our History.
    Like the “Driver” was the Man that would handle the horses. Driving (handling) the horses, and the Number two Man on the stage or wagon was the “Shot Gun” ie, A Guard with a shot gun that sat to the Drivers side.

    I saw The Old Hag once.
    I had to cancel a flight because of bad weather, and the only place I and my crew could find to stay for the night was an old hotel, which was about to be closed and knocked down to make way for a new motorway.
    We didn’t know it when we checked in, but we would be the last guests to stay there.
    The place was rather run down and neglected, but they gave us a reasonable meal and a bottle of wine and we retired to bed.
    About two o’clock in the morning, I was conscious of “a presence” in the room with me. I was lying on my side facing the wall, and there was this grey eminence standing by the bed behind my back, leaning over me.
    I felt icy cold, and frozen with fear.
    What was it th
