What is a mouse breather?

Cute as the notion is, I think the phrase you're looking for is mouth breather. As in someone who breathes with their mouth open. There are a number of medical conditions that can cause chronic mouth breathing, when the nasal passages are blocked. But calling someone a mouth breather outside of a medical context usually means you think they're slow or stupid.

Oh dear. I'm picturing tiny little breath masks for rodents. Maybe they're working in a hospital, or seated on a plane where the masks drop out of the ceiling. Doing CPR on a fellow murid who got away from the cat just in time.

I suppose there might be some obscure sect that inhales rodents, in the way that there are snake handlers. Or an odd addiction to sniffing the critters. But I've seen neither hide nor hair of such practices.

What are some dirty secrets of Indian (Bollywood, etc.) actors and actresses?

And the adorable little mouse breathers now have a space in my imaginative visual vortex. They're just so cute.

“He's such a mouth breather. Why do you hang with him?”

And I have seen the idea used in a couple of murder mysteries, where a victim was tied up and their mouth taped closed, leading to unintended death by suffocation. It lives in the same story space as the rare thin- skulled individual, where a tap that would make an ordinary person unconscious becomes a death sentence.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
