It starts in a simple way.
You have your eyes opened or closed, it doesn't make much difference.
You can see or listen in case you have your eyes closed
something approaching you and you know very well
that its purpose is malicious. It's different for everyone
to some it is just a shadow, to others it's a werewolf
to others it's a clown, but in our country, most people that have seen it
they claim it's an old woman.
A creature that feed itself from fear and it comes to choke you in your sleep.
You shake, you're afraid, you reach the point of despair
as her face sticks upon yours to see you better
and as it begins to choke you, you wake up.
The elders will say that her name is Mora.
But those who have a more reasonable approach in these things
and always try to find solutions that meet reality
will say to you that this is called sleep paralysis. Could sleep paralysis kill you?
Welcome to our new series
where here, we'll see different mysteries for the human body and the ways it functions.
Is there a solution? Lets start with something more basic
What are dreams? Dreams are images
thoughts, sounds and voices, even subjective sensations
experienced when we're asleep.
This can include people you know, people you've never met
places you've been, and places you've never even heard of.
Sometimes they're as mundane
as recalling events that happened earlier in the day.
They can also be your deepest and darkest fears and secrets
and your most private fantasies. There's no limit
to what the mind can experience during a dream
and really no rhyme or reason
to what you end up dreaming about. Stresses in waking life
can manifest in dreams plainly or be cleverly disguised
through images.
Dreams are most abundant and best remembered during
the R.E.M. stage of sleep which means rapid eye movement.
This is the deepest stage of the sleep cycle
your eyes are moving rapidly, your heart rate and breathing become inconsistent
and paralysis of your skeletal muscles occurs.
This last part may sound pretty frightening
but it's actually a safeguard that keeps us from acting out our dreams physically
Something like safeguard from sleepwalking.
This is what in part causes sleep paralysis
but we will talk more about this in a second.
But again, what exactly are dreams?
The well know Austrian Psychologist of the 20th Century Sigmund Feud
believed that dreams are a window into our unconscious.
For instance, a dream about a grizzly bear chasing you in your house
could be the stress you feel about the relationship with a friend.
A dream about being stuck inside of a room with no doors
might echo your feelings about a dead-end job.
Nightmares are not that different from all the other dreams
they belong in their own category.
Psychologists usually define a nightmare as ''a terrifying dream''.
Most children experience nightmares
some even nightly, but they usually outgrow them.
There is a number of causes that can make an adult
experience a nightmare.
The most common is like we already said, Anxiety.
Depression and anxiety often are accompanied by nightmares, and the presence of nightmares
may be an indication of a more severe depression.
People who are depressed or anxious
are more likely to have stressful, disturbing, or frightening dreams
sometimes in the form of recurring dreams.
There's a complex relationship between nightmares and depression
that makes them work perfectly together.
Depression may cause more frequent nightmares, and nightmares themselves
may contribute to worsening depression.
Another theory says that, it is possible that nightmares are a way
that the brain forces us to practice, to prepare
and even anticipate difficult or dangerous experiences in our daily life.
Nightmares may be a way that that the brain
points us towards difficult situations
and emotions that need attention in our daily life.
Of course it's possible that nightmares, like dreams in general
don't have a primary function—that they're a by-product
of other activities in the body.
But most scientists that are involved in dream phenomena
think that dreams and nightmares exist for some purpose.
This brings us to the last part of this video, sleep paralysis.
Why are we experiencing this and is it possible to find a horrible end
during an event like this?
Are they demons that come in your sleep, to choke you and hurt you?
Well..no none of these are valid and we explained it a few minutes before.
As we said, R.E.M.
or rapid eye movement, is a sleep stage where muscles paralyze
the heartbeats are slowing down as well as the breathing
and finally, the eyes move very fast behind the eyelids.
There is a chance while you're sleeping at that stage, to partially wake up,
and find yourself in a situation where you're asleep
but you are fully aware of what is happening around you.
Essentially, you live in an awake dream for a few minutes.
Could this cause death? Yes and no.
Sleep paralysis on its own cannot cause it
it has to be combined with an extreme case of anxiety or a physical problem
such as your heart.
Seeing something terrifying taking place before your eyes in a period of stress
could easily cause you a heart attack.
And as always, we suddenly realize that we're not 100% safe, even in our sleep.
