"Sleep paralysis has tormented me since childhood. But now it’s my portal to out-of-body travel and lucid dreams."
Although this condition is very rare in me, sometimes it happens. More than once I felt the breath of an angry cat on my neck. And I could feel it walking over me. And I just couldn't move. It's frightening sometimes.
By the way, I have no cats.
awesome that you posted this. For the summer of my junior year in high school i put most of my time into meditation and trying to induce lucid dreams/OBEs. From then on i only knew the "spiritual" context of what i was doing, but the neuroscience is fascinating.
