How to Avoid Sleep Paralysis | Uratex Blog

I want you to imagine a scenario with me. This scenario may be a common one for you (I hope not) while some of you may have experienced this from time to time. A few individuals may never even have been through this at all. You with me? Let’s begin.

Your eyes are closed, but you see vivid images familiar to your imaginations. Are they dreams? You’re not sure. It seems very close to reality, but you doubt its realness because it’s just so unusual. The dream you’re seeing (whatever you would believe it is to be) switches themes from time to time. You realize something: “This has got to be a dream!” So, convinced with the truth that you’re consciously dreaming, you wake yourself up.

However, you do so only mentally. You are fully aware you are lying down on your bed, with the blankets over your body. Though you might even be able to hear sounds from “the real world”, your body is fast asleep. You can’t move! You try to move the tips of your fingers but not even that can work. You try thrashing your limbs in panic, but your body simply won’t respond. The panic and tension really begins.
