“…These are experiences of multimodal and sometimes elaborate nightmare hallucinations quite unlike the predominately visual hypnagogic hallucinations commonly associated with drowsy presleep mentation (Cheyne et al. , 1999b; Harris, 2004) and, hence, appear to be unique to SP episodes. Such emotionally vivid and complex dream‐like hallucinations are consistent with the observation that SP episodes have been associated with sleep‐onset REM periods (e.g.…”

SUMMAR Y Sleep paralysis (SP) episodes are often accompanied by vivid hallucinoid experiences that have been found to fall into three major categories thought to be organized according to intrinsic rapid eye movement (REM) processes. Prior research has, however, combined data for individuals with varying degrees of experience with SP episodes, rendering interpretations of the source of this structure ambiguous. The present study of 5799 current SP experients compares the nature and structure of the hallucinations of novice SP experients with those reporting varying numbers of episodes. Both qualitative and quantitative differences were found in reported hallucinations as a function of episode frequency, although the underlying three-factor structure of the hallucinoid experiences was highly similar for all groups. Novice experientsÕ reports were, however, characterized by clearer differentiation of factors, likely because of a tendency of experienced SP experients to conflate experiences across episodes. Age and age of onset of SP episodes were associated with differences in the variety and types of hallucinations but not their underlying structure. Earlier onset of SP episodes was also associated with more frequent episodes. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the basic form and patterning of hallucinatory experiences is a result of intrinsic processes, independent of prior experience, likely associated with underlying REM neurophysiology.k e y w o r d s age of onset, episode frequency, hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep paralysis

“…Se estima que entre el 40 y 50% de las personas lo han experimentado al menos una vez en su vida y, de acuerdo a la cultura, se ha asociado a espíritus, demonios, brujas y, recientemente Este fenómeno ha inquietado a la humanidad y se refleja en la pintura. La Pesadilla (Figura 2) (Harris, 2004), en la que un espíritu de la mitología nórdica atormentaba y sofocaba a mujeres traviesas, generando una morbosa opresión en el pecho durante la noche, se asoció a castigos divinos, por malos comportamientos en la vigilia (Vargas & Camargo Sánchez, 2011). Siendo esta obra de arte una ilustración de un tema que tiene interés para las ciencias de la salud porque es de común incidencia, mucho tiempo después de que fuera plasmada en esta pintura se describió, por la medicina, dando claridad de su causa, signos, síntomas y tratamientos (Schneck, 1969).…”

“…He sought to depict the sublime and terrible as Fuseli had done in his painting The Nightmare. 7 Géricault sketched 5 alternative episodes of the disaster on the raft: Mutiny, Cannibalism, Sighting of the Argus, Hailing the Approaching Rowing-Boat, and Rescue. He composed each episode in detail.…”
