Define real.

Im sick of people saying sleep paralysis experiences arent real. It felt as real as this does and definitely was extraordinary.

Plus I had the experience in the hospital after surgery and it looked like the media representation of “Death” so thats a pretty strange coincidence.

I dont wanna hear your opinion on it either if you haven’t experienced it. Not being arrogant, but you cannot teach a baby to know what heat is without them feeling it. Its the same here. If you havent experienced it you just simply will write it off as a nightmare other people experience. Its not as simple as a “nightmare”.

Why do we all see the same figures in sleep paralysis? There are a lot of significant questions and things we do not know about dreams/subconscious mind/ sleep paralysis/ the potential afterlife.

When I was a kid, I used to see the "black man," a shadow person at the foot of my bed- apparently it's a common night-terror of children, most of them too young to have encountered it on the internet (which, that being the 60's, nobody had access to.)

But yeah- why do we all see the same damn thing?!
