In this episode of Sleep Paralysis News, the hosts speak to Josh, who shares his lifelong experiences with sleep paralysis, starting from age 10. He recounts his initial terrifying episode, describing a suffocating weight and the inability to move or call for help. Over the years, Josh experienced around a dozen episodes, some accompanied by vivid auditory hallucinations and even out-of-body experiences. A notable episode involved feeling a light sensation and floating out of his body, offering a profound realisation about consciousness beyond the physical realm. Despite the fear, Josh has found peace with these experiences, viewing them as affirmations of a spiritual existence. He emphasises the importance of discussing sleep paralysis to reduce fear and isolation, advocating for a broader understanding of this mysterious phenomenon.
