Painting plaster with shiny surface

Painting plaster with shiny surface

I'm stripping this wall of paint bc the old paint started peeling. The paint stripped off really easily. Once I got a paint scraper under the surface it started peeling off in sheets. The plaster has these shiny spots. The bright white surfaces are clean, the darker spots are very smooth and reflect light. I'm concerned this is why the paint peeled off so easily. Why are there shiny spots and do I need to sand it down to pure plaster in order to paint?
