Has it ever happened to you that when you are asleep you wake up abruptly, but when you wake up you can not move? In my case it happens to me very frequently. It is something terrifying. It feels very, very heavy in my chest. I despair a little for the situation and I try to move my legs / arms and I can not get it. I have experienced this disorder 4 times in a row. Incredible night of believing truth.
Paralysis of the dream, paranormal phenomenon?
Some of the victims of this horrible condition are able to convince themselves that the experience was nothing more than a dream or even a terrifying nightmare. Other people remain convinced that they have been attacked by a supernatural entity. The latter claim that their aggressor is actually an external phenomenon and not a state produced by their subconscious. However, as always experts on dreams and psychologists dismiss this as a paranormal phenomenon, explaining that thoughts, images and sensations released from a person's subconscious are ultimately alien to the individual. But the reality is much more complex, since the dream state is a phenomenon that currently has many unanswered questions. Throughout the world, and over time, the physiological aspects of sleep paralysis have been and remain the same, regardless of the race, religion or culture of the victim. They are the almost uncountable interpretations of these symptoms, which make sleep paralysis one of the most feared paranormal phenomena.
Brief explanation on sleep paralysis
Sleep paralysis is closely related to the natural paralysis that occurs in REM sleep (in English "Rapid Eye Movement") of the dream state. The victim is fully conscious and alert, however, the body remains paralyzed. In this state, the brain is able to manifest visions that are lived intensely, without the body being unable to react. The understandable reaction to this scenario is fear and panic, being a terribly real experience for the victim. All the natural senses of the individual remain in full operation, that is, smell, taste, touch, hearing and sight while these present increasing terror. During REM sleep the metabolism is slower, the heart rate is reduced, as well as blood pressure and respiratory rate. Along with all this comes the muscular paralysis, all these being a safety mechanism to avoid injuries during the sleep state. With the heartbeat and reduced respiratory rate the victim will experience the sensation of chest wall pressure and shortness of breath. In this natural state of fear and panic, the victim may feel a sense of weight in his chest.
