RE: Not A Childs Game
I too tried this "game" when I was 12. There were 4 of us though "lifting" our friend. I was not in a state of sleepiness. It did work for us. Scared us to death!!!

I tend to lean on the side of hypnosis with Dr.Teufel Geist.
Keep in mind too that the power of suggestion is strong and has proven effects, even in a mass number of people involved.
I'm not de-bunking what you say you experienced, just that sometimes there can be another answer to the why or how it happened. Big Grin

RE: Not A Childs Game
I've heard of people doing this before & it working...
I believe its possible.
As for how it happened, I just think the mind is a veryy powerful thing,
sometimes doing what the body cannot or will not...
like with this sorta thing!^^

It works. I've done it before. Did it just like described in the link. I'm not sure about his explanation though.

RE: Not A Childs Game
My friends and I used to play this game all the time. Of course there was always about 10 of us so it may have just been super easy to lift an 80lb girl when there is 9 other people doing it LOL

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,
For I would ride with you upon the wind,
Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,
And dance upon the mountains like a flame.
(William Butler Yeats, "The Land of Heart's Desire," 1894)
