Aww Africa Ghana my country. Only fooling or degrading dreams manifest in reality, if he had dreamt of money in his hands, it would have never come to reality

Colinz Takwa Airlinz posted:
Bossu, e no happen to you so you're free to say whatever you want to say. There are those who were shot in their dream and wake up to find gun wounds on their body. That one too what will you say.
Another comment reads:
On the other hand, Kwame Segla Selorm posted his theory about the mysterious case of Kofi Atta of South Ghana:
This could easily be caused by somnambulism (sleepwalking). In this case he can do anything without even realizing it. Some people can even be sleeping while playing football or dancing.
Another comments said:
Wife is away, Neigbour calls wife and wife returns to see this scene? Come on who even sleeps with a knife under his pillow. Police should investigate further.
On the other hand, the following comments you've read below are casting doubts and confusions:
Achimota Sarkodie asks: "How can you tell me this story?...The story is not clear."
"Unbelievable! Who sleeps with a knife?" Jeff Tony exclaimed.
Dr. Kofi Adum-Attah shared:
That is a lie. What kind of confabulation is that? He is most likely protecting the person that did this to him. Such crimes of passion are almost always committed by the spouse, in this case, his wife.
Another striking comment reads:
Something is not right. Who sleeps with a knife in the hands. Ok, let's say he is a blacksmith and has a knife under his pillow for protection. But how can you not cut your hand but your genitals. There is a conspiracy in play. The wife should produce evidence she was away.
Someone mentioned:
I Dey ask myself was the knife on his bed or he managed to sleep walk to kitchen or wherever the knife was to even identify it and took it back to the bed and cut himself lol. if his wife is not a witch, then he himself is wizard.
Eunice Mensah said:
I think there's more to the story. So someone saw this scenery but couldn't take this man to the hospital, instead picked up a phone and call the wife who had travelled to come back from wherever she was and attend to the husband. Why, is the wife some sort of magician?
Lastly, Gilbert Young commented:
This is strange. During REM sleep, the brain releases neurotransmitters (GABA) that paralyzes specialized cells to make muscles inactive so the body can hardly act out of sleep.
Is Atta's Case Is Caused By A Demonic Possesion?
In the Twitter comments, a user posted some of his reasonable theory, where he said that the man [Koffi Atta] was probably possessed by the demonic spirit.
This sounds interesting. Why? It is because Ghana is one of the countries that popularly practices spiritism or demonism.
Imagine a man wakes up from bed, go to the kitchen, strips down, takes a knife and chops his own dick off, whilst dreaming!! like how! to me it's either demonic possession or some one did it and he doesn't want to say! simple.
Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa, cited a source titled An Article from The Ghanaian Chronicle, which reveals that the majority of Ghanaians have a strong belief in juju (also known as fetish), ghosts, dark magic, and evil spirits.
Because of this, a lot of Ghanaians go to fetish priests or other spiritual experts in their area for help.
The author found an article in the news about a man who cut off his penis after being possessed by a demon.
Word has spread from Akulivik about an exorcism that went horribly wrong, despite the small Hudson Bay town's reluctance to talk about an event that left one person emotionally devastated and another horribly traumatized.
Sources in the town confirmed that not long after two Southern evangelists came to town, a committee from the local Anglican church said that a local woman was "possessed."
One of the people who took part in the Akulivik exorcism, the woman's future brother-in-law, is said to have told a few others to "turn from their sins."
The man later tried to cut off his penis, which was a horrible turn of events.
He hurt himself and is now making a good recovery in Montreal.
The man is said to have given several different reasons why he wanted to have his penis cut off.
Is Kofi Atta Experience A Sleep Disorder?
The farmer has not specified whether he suffers from any sleep-related conditions.
However, it has been theorized that he maybe affected by a sleep disorder known as parasomnia.
A sleep disorder called parasomnia makes people act strangely while they sleep.
The behavior can happen at any stage of sleep, including when a person is falling asleep or waking up.
If you remember, a Twitter user named Kwame Segla Selorm wrote that Kofi Atta of South Ghana might have a sleep disorder when he wrote about the strange case of Kofi Atta.
Defining Parasomnia
What is Parasomnia?
If you have parasomnia, you might talk, move around, or do other strange things while you're sleeping.
Even though other people might think you're awake, you're actually asleep.
Most of the time, you don't remember what happened.
Also, some parasomnias can be dangerous because you don't know what's going on around you.
They can also have effects on your health, like making you feel stressed out.
Parasomnias can be treated, just like other kinds of sleep problems.
Some parasomnias happen during the first half of the night, when the eyes aren't moving quickly.
Others happen during REM sleep later in the night.
REM stands for rapid eye movement. where your eyes move quickly in many different directions but don't send your brain any visual information.
Types Of Insomnia
Sleepwalking
Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, is the act of walking around while sleeping.
It's a fairly common parasomnia, and it could also include sleeping, talking, or doing normal housework.
Sleepwalking frequently occurs early in the night. It can happen even during daytime naps.
Sleep Driving
Driving while sleeping is rare, but it is possible.
This is a type of sleepwalking that can be very dangerous.
Sleep talking, sleep-related groaning, nightmares, night terrors, bedwetting, confusional arousal, and teeth grinding were all examples of parasomnia.
