Summary

Where do we really go when we sleep? What, really, are our dreams? Do you dread falling asleep at night? Maybe you know something is waiting for you once your consciousness slips into that darker astral plane. Over 70 million Americans suffer from sleeping disorders and that number is in the billions worldwide. Sleep and brain wave studies attempt to unlock the secrets of the human mind but they don't have all the answers yet. In this episode I talk to two guests, TJ and Erica, with terrifying sleep disorders: sleep paralysis and night terrors. Can you imagine what it's like to feel trapped in your body and unable to move? Or to have your mind conjure up a terrifyingly vivid scenario from which you can't escape? For my guests, these sleep conditions are all too real. https://www.sleepassociation.org/
