hypnosis may be the key to recovering
so-called memories of abductions
but another brain phenomenon may be
responsible for kick-starting the idea
in abductees Minds to begin with it’s
called sleep paralysis and it’s a true
waking nightmare I was held down by
these living sort of ribbons that came
across me and tightened up around me and
bound me down and then of course the
aliens filed into the room and levitated
me and and took me out of the room and
it was a very bizarre experience and I
thought I’m being abducted you know why
why am I being abducted what are they
doing turns out I was just having sleep
paralysis when we dream our brain
switches off our ability to move so that
we don’t injure ourselves acting out
those dreams when we wake up it switches
us back on again
but sometimes the switch is out of sync
and we wake up paralyzed
Brian Sharples a clinical psychologist
at Penn State specializes in sleep
paralysis research sleep paralysis is
the experience of either falling asleep
or waking up and you find that you’re
paralyzed I’ll be have some degree of
conscious awareness and your eyes are
still able to move and you can look
around the room it’s often a terrifying
experience for people that are suffering
from it not only from the paralysis but
because of the hallucinations that often
accompany it the hallucinations vary but
come in three general tires first the
intruder an evil presence approaching
[Music]
second the Incubus something pressing on
your chest choking or assaulting you
finally levitation the sensation of
being lifted off the bed and even
transported elsewhere put them together
and you may have something strikingly
familiar to a sleep researcher
acquainted with UFO abduction stories I
think all three categories are
consistent with what people who report
being abducted by aliens experience
having a presence in the room
feeling if someone’s on top of you
sexually assaulting you or potentially
levitating you
sleep paralysis is thought to be
responsible down through the ages for
numerous terrifying nighttime
visitations where one timer place might
find witches demons ghosts and spirits
as an explanation for sleep paralysis
it’s possible at 21st century Americans
might find technologically advanced
aliens as an explanation
