Overview Of The Signs Of Sleep Paralysis

Sleep Hallucinations

Sleep hallucinations are common in this condition. Patients with sleep paralysis deal with auditory, olfactory, and visual hallucinations. Evidence has proven that these sleep hallucinations are connected to a neurological imbalance. Specifically, they are linked to the imbalance that triggers the patient's paralysis initially!

However, research is not clear as to how they are connected. Some believe that part of a patient's brain is still dreaming when they transition from rapid eye movement sleep to non-rapid eye movement sleep. Their dream becomes an intense nightmare. Of course, this also applies to the transition in the opposite direction! The alternative theory is that the hallucinations are the result of the fear, adrenaline, and the nervous system's lack of movement. These researchers believe that the patient's body is trying anything to make it move!
