When we dream, our body switches off the ability to move so that we don't injure ourselves acting out the dreams

When we wake, that ability is switched on
But sometimes the switch is faulty and we wake up paralysed.

This is terrifying
Imagine being awake but not able to move

This terror usually brings up images of looming "demons" or shadows etc. It is expected

But some people will argue, it was when I called "The name above all names" that it left

My dear, if you are able to speak, then the sleep paralysis has left

Try to relax as much as you can

You're more likely to have sleep paralysis

If you sleep on your back
If you're not getting enough sleep
If you're stressed or depressed
Or you have a sleep disorder

Sometimes genetics are implicated...

Here are a few ways that may help prevent sleep paralysis
1. Get enough sleep
2. Avoid caffeine just before bed time
3. Avoid noise or lights.
4. Pay attention to your mental health
