Summary
Step into the dark frontier between sleep and the supernatural in “Nightmareland” with Lex Lonehood Nover, author, researcher, and longtime web producer for Coast to Coast AM.
For decades, Lex has heard spine-chilling accounts of sleep paralysis, night terrors, ghostly visitations, and unexplainable feats carried out by people trapped in a dream state. In his groundbreaking book, Nightmareland, he explores how sleep-deprived minds can drift into delusion, how intense nightmares blur the line between reality and hallucination, and why some claim these experiences are more than just psychological.
Lex reveals the bizarre world of lucid nightmares, shares stories of individuals whose terror in deep sleep gave them seemingly superhuman strength, and uncovers chilling reports of shadow-like entities that appear during sleep paralysis.
Are these disturbing episodes purely a neurological glitch, or do they hint at something far stranger lurking in the human subconscious? This gripping discussion will make you think twice the next time you close your eyes.
If you’ve ever woken up frozen in your bed, unable to scream while something loomed in the dark — or wondered what nightmares are really trying to tell us — you won’t want to miss this episode.

| 0:55.3 | Well, I think this whole subject of dreams is something that's fascinated people for eons. |
| 1:01.2 | It certainly has for me. |
| 1:02.9 | I've really been intrigued with the idea of lucid dreaming. |
| 1:07.3 | So that was something I wanted to delve into and explore further in the book. But really it was |
| 1:13.0 | the state of sleep paralysis that kind of kicked off the idea for the whole project, this notion |
| 1:20.4 | that you could simultaneously be experiencing, I guess what you could call two states of consciousness |

| 1:36.8 | this bleed through of what's possibly your REM or rapid eye movement dream state where your body is still paralyzed, |
| 1:46.4 | which happens during REM so you don't get up and start acting out your dreams. |
| 1:51.2 | Anyway, that's the neurological explanation that it's a kind of glitch where your body is experiencing |
| 1:58.1 | your sleep states out of order because you have sort of a progression every night when you go to sleep of |
| 2:05.6 | of this deeper or slow wave sleep that goes into deeper and deeper states and then from there you go into r em so the explanation is is that you have sleep paralysis, it's kind of coming out |
