Sleep Paralyzation...?!
Question:
Sleep Paralyzation...?
The other night, I think I felt paralyzed while I was alseep. This has happened before - it's like I am semi-conscious, but can't move any part of my body. I try hard to jerk around and sometimes this fixes it, but, the other night I just remember feeling paralyzed... but I can't remember if it was a dream or reality. It feels real, and if the paralyzation was a dream, it has happened before and it is vivid. Any clues?
Answers:
Your body normally goes into a state of paralysis when you sleep/dream to protect you from yourself. Truly. When someone sleepwalks its because this didn't occur. Just as the body can fail to go into a state of paralysis for dreams, it can also see the paralysis continue into the beginnings of consciousness. Don't sweat it. There's nothing wrong with you if it happens now and again.
