That was interesting! Especially the part about sleep paralysis typically involving nightmares about being in peril. I didn't know that. Can't help but wonder if the brain sends out a more potent paralysis concoction based on the potency of dreams? So pleasant dreams don't require as much as frightening dreams that might activate the amygdala? Maybe that's what creates vulnerability to sleep paralysis when we have nightmares?

It's not surprising that your scary dreams involve therapy.

And it would be interesting to hear what those therapists are doing at you (in your dreams)

I've only had a few dreams about therapy at all. Usually when I was anxious about something. And I've had very brief sleep paralysis only twice and don't remember if it was associated with any dreams.
