Old Theatre Yonge St South of Bloor

Many years ago, my husband and I went to see a movie in downtown Toronto. It was in an old house. It was quite dark in there before the movie started. The lights were old, and had been converted to electric. We were sitting there waiting for the movie to start when this woman just appeared! She was hovering horizontally above the floor. I noted that she was wearing a white gown. It scared me so much that I looked away and when I turned around and looked again she was gone. I didn't tell my husband at the time because I was afraid that he would think I was crazy. I think the movie was Dr.Zhivago. I told my mother about it and she said it might have been my grandmother because she always wore long nightgowns.I don't think so because my grandmother was still alive at the time this had occurred.

When it comes to sleep I prefer a very dark room for optimal rest. Window Blinds are therefore a must in my own bedroom, and I find those that provide maximum protection from the light the very best. SelectBlinds offers a huge selection to Canadian shoppers directly online. You might have heard of them as suppliers of window treatments on Extreme Makeover Home Edition or read about them via the Toronto Star amongst other media sources.

They offer the best blind in my opinion for maximum light protection with their light filter Roman Shades which are functional, but still look really good.

I find the darker the room, the more enhanced dreams become as well, and find that lucid dreaming is far easier to achieve.
