We’ve heard the stories of people waking in the middle of the night, finding that they are unable to move. They have that feeling that they are being “held down”, captive in their own bed. Some associate this feeling of paralysis with visits from beings that are from another dimension, or alien to our world.
Are there really alien encounters happening to a select few in our population? How do we explain the experiences of those people who’s stories all sound so alike? Is it a dream, or a matter of sudden consciousness to a level of life that we’re not intended to see?
How much do we know about our sleep cycles? Did you know there are 4 stages of sleep, moving from our waking state into theta and delta brain rhythms. There is also a phase in sleep called the REM cycle. During REM sleep our eyes twitch, we dream, and we really are physically paralyzed. This cycle is quick, and most of us do not realize anything has changed other than a fragment of dream memory when we awaken.
Could those “alien encounters” be explained so easily, pointing to the natural REM sleep cycle? Had it been some extraterrestrial encounter, wouldn’t we have found evidence? Ah, now we can step into the realm of conspiracy theory, talking about the cover-ups of encounters like Area 51.
No one can say for sure what exactly is happening when we suddenly awaken to find ourselves unable to move. The meaning of night paralysis – is it an alien abduction, or simply a momentary awareness of a natural sleep habit?
