We all have it. It's the mind/body way of protecting us from injury if we could walk or act out our dream, we'd be in danger.
You Want to have SP. Yeah it's a little scary if you become aware of it while having a nightmare and aware enough to try and move and can't.
But we all have it except sleep.walkers and people with a disorder.
So this show was only about people taking their dreams.
You are completely wrong. People move around in their sleep all the time. So often, in fact, that the term "toss and turn" is universally understood to describe moving around a lot while sleeping. Even if a person doesn't move excessively while sleeping, most people move to some degree, which is why sheets or blankets will end up pulled out, and pillows slid to one side or the other or turned at strange angles. Your ridiculous assertion that we all have sleep paralysis, and if we didn't we would try to act out our dreams, is laughable. So let's try to simplify sleep paralysis so you can understand.
1) A person is sleeping; you should understand that since I'm sure you've slept before.
2) The sleeping person wakes up; you should understand what waking up means too, you do it every morning like the rest of us.
3) The, now fully awake and conscious person is completely paralyzed, meaning the are unable to move at all; maybe this part is confusing to you. When you lift your arm to, let's say, rub your eyes in the morning, your brain has sent a near instantaneous signal to your arm to move and perform a particular set of actions. However, if you had sleep paralysis, your arm wouldn't move at all. You'd be laying there, awake, and unable to even wiggle your big toe. So, is everything understandable now?
What about the accounts of people seeing things ontop of their sleeping partners/ friends/ spouses while they're having these nightmares?
shareIf they're having nightmares then they're not experiencing sleep paralysis. They're just having nightmares.
