What Are The Possible Symptoms Of Sleep Paralysis?

Sleep Hallucinations

Hallucinations appear to be fairly common in sleep paralysis. Patients may deal with olfactory, visual, or auditory sleep hallucinations. It seems as if the hallucinations occur due to the neurological imbalance that triggers the patient's paralysis. However, researchers do not appear to have determined why this link exists. Some believe that it may be because a patient's brain is still dreaming when their body moves from non-rapid eye movement sleep to rapid eye movement sleep. This seems to happen in the opposite direction too. When linked to other possible signs of sleep paralysis, the patient's dream can become a nightmare. Other experts appear to think that the hallucinations are simply the result of the patient's fear, adrenaline, and inability to move. In other words, their body may be trying anything to get moving.
