Oooh! Fantastic! Thanks for these Laura. 👍 Must be nice to film in your hometown. I think it might be a smallish part though, eh. Either way, nice to see him in a "big" movie again. And with WB still. 👏
If this is what they are talking about:

then it is far more common than they think -
...
ETA: If the story of Sleepwalker is actually linked to sleep paralasys, then that would be kind of ironic, since sleepwalking is the exact opposite to sleep paralysis:
Which is why Merej, I think the "Sleepwalker" director is about a continuous state of False awakening:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_awakening which seems verrrryyy scary indeed.
I have had bouts of it when I was in my early 20s - only very rarely since then, ... The problem is that most people don't know what's happening to them and really don't want to talk about it because you don't go around telling people that you might just be losing your mind.
I'm actually glad you brought this up and I don't feel so alone now.
I too experienced my first episode in my late teens/early 20's - last year of school/beginning of uni. And have experienced it but rarely since then; still it
does happen.
For me, the first time it happened, I thought I was being "possessed" by a ghost.
I feel a presence because of this tingling sensation I get and then this pressure envelopes me feet to head and sorta sits on my chest and I can't move! I'm frozen in place. I try to scream, but I can't. I try to move, but I can't. But I'm awake; my eyes definitely feel like they are open.
And then it goes away in a few seconds which feel more like minutes really.
I told a friend once, a neurologist, and he didn't say anything(!) to reassure or advice and I came away feeling like an idiot. I think he thought I was nuts or being a drama queen or something. I hadn't told anyone else up until that point, not even my family (they still don't know); wasn't inclined inclined to tell anyone else, until now.
So I looked it up soon after and found that it
has been documented and has been so for ages! What a
relief it was to read that! And there are two types; either before you fall asleep or after you wake up. I definitely had/have the one when I'm trying to fall asleep.
But, that tingling sensation....
that's when I know it is going to happen. I feel it coming on and I'm quite helpless then.
And that pressure/frozen feeling...
that's the scariest; because I can't move!
They say it happens when you're sleep deprived/tired. It might be so but I haven't paid attention to it like that. But yes, usually when I'm on my back because those tingles start from the feet up like as if you are pulling the sheet over someone.
After I found an explanation for what was going on, I also had sleep paralysis dreams in which I would finally realize that I was in a sleep paralysis state and that nothing I heard or saw was real - but I'd still be unable to make my body wake up, i.e. move a muscle or stop the hallucinations. It's not very amusing, but it certainly is interesting.
Wow. That is scary/interesting. I think you might have the hypnopompic version Merej and maybe with a false awakening too (while I have the hypnagogic one):
http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/guide/sleep-paralysis#1Took about two weeks for my brain to retrieve that 'memory' from its memory folder and store it away correctly in the dream section - which says a lot about how stubborn it is when it comes to it's own sloppiness.
Only
your brain Merej could have managed to do that! My brain ain't as high-functioning!
