How can your body replicate the feeling of falling from high altitudes in a nightmare if you’ve never fallen like that before?
I don’t know but I don’t like this post.
@hfc2x can explain better, but theoretically it’s because our early ancestors slept in trees because High Is Better when avoiding predators while asleep, but comes with the added danger of falling. the humans who survived were the ones who learned to recognize when they were beginning to fall and save themselves before they were even fully awake, and they passed that instinct down to their offspring. that’s why, when you fall asleep too hard/quickly, your brain is programmed to wake you up again so you don’t end up falling to your death.
I didn’t actually expect someone to have an answer but this is actually super cool
a lake in montana whose water is so clear it appears shallow, when really its over 100 feet deep!
this is actually kinda terrifying because what if someone doesn’t know how deep it is, so they go diving and try to swim to the bottom, but they always seem just out of reach, so they just keep swimming… and when they realize something’s wrong it’s too late
Imagine seeing a body at the bottom….
tumblr has the ability to turn everything beautiful into something terrifying
What if you see a skeleton at the bottom of what appears to be a shallow part of the lake. As you dive down to check them out you notice the water is deeper than you originally thought. Much deeper. You come to realize that there is no way these remains could be human, you’re not even half-way down and already the skull already looks bigger than your car
This started so tranquil and then it turned into Friday the 13th
