Re: Am I hallucinating?
from Wikipedia
Sleep paralysis occurs either when falling asleep, or when awakening. When it occurs upon falling asleep, the person remains aware while the body shuts down for REM sleep.The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes, with some rare cases being hours, "by which the individual may experience panic symptoms"Sleep paralysis is particularly frightening to the individual because of the vividness of such hallucinations.[SUP][8]](Sleep paralysis - Wikipedia)[/SUP] The hallucinatory element to sleep paralysis makes it even more likely that someone will interpret the experience as a dream, since completely fanciful or dream-like objects may appear in the room alongside one’s normal vision.
Some scientists have proposed this condition as an explanation for reports of alien abductions and ghostly encounters.
