Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hi, Snake oil makes me thinks of the saying by W.C. Fields, " Never give a sucker an even break " From Wikipedia: Snake oil is a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat joint pain. However, the most common usage of the phrase is as a derogatory term for compounds offered as medicines which implies that they are fake, fraudulent, quackish, or ineffective. The expression is also applied metaphorically to any product with exaggerated marketing but questionable or unverifiable quality. , Elektra Fire <elektra.fire wrote: > > That sounds like pre OBE, I used to get something similar and i didnt know what it was, it terrified me also, like i was going to die, like being sucked down out of the body, and the noise that goes with it. > Just as you fall asleep and cannot move. > Someone later told me it's what happens when you begin involuntaty OBE. > > Hope that helps > elektra x x x > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
