Everyone knows what sleep paralysis is and of course both scientists and sleep experts like to chalk it up to anything BUT spiritual or otherworldly. But my question is why arent these experts addressing the fact that almost every single account from individuals who suffer from this, who dont know each other and come from very different walks of life, are all experiencing eerily similar experiences? Like terrifying emotions, panic and dread? Or that Majority all see a dark figure and/or entities comparable to demons or extraterrestrial?

If hallucinating is naturally part of sleep paralysis, then why isn’t there a plethora of various detailed accounts wildly different from one person to the next? considering we all think differently and have different perceptions of things wouldnt sleep paralysis be just as unique as our individual dreams are?

Can anyone explain this to me? 🤔
