Episode #205: Monthly Mood - Sleep Paralysis

About this episode

This episode explores the phenomenon of sleep paralysis, its psychological and supernatural interpretations, and the feelings of dread associated with it.

Imagine you wake up—or think you do—only to find your body completely frozen. You can’t move, can’t speak, and often, there’s this overwhelming sense of dread. Something’s in the room with you. A shadowy figure, a demon pressing on your chest, or worse. Is it a ghost? A spiritual attack? Or is science finally catching up to these ancient terrors?
