Sleep paralysis has been a topic of great interest to me. What exactly is it? I haven't encountered any spiritual teachers talking about the subject, I would love it if Leo made a video on sleep or something. But anyways, people who have sleep paralysis have reported seeing and encountering the exact same phenomenon within the paralysis worldwide, such as seeing "shadow beings." I have encountered one before, it looks like a human silhouette but very real and physical, like a person made of shadow. There is also another shared phenomena i experienced where i had another person's voice repeating exactly what I was thinking to myself in my head. Very trippy. It seems quite similar to a psychedelic trip to me, but much scarier and darker, and less random in terms of hallucinations (I have never had a psychedelic trip, i'm just going off of what I've heard about them). Anyways, I have become very good at dealing with it since i have experienced it around 20 times. I've learned to control it pretty well, so it doesn't bother me too much anymore. Why does it seem like the phenomena experienced in sleep paralysis is connected worldwide? Would be nice to get some insight on it, thanks.
