I understood your statements, I was just pointing out a few things and asking a question at the end. I would want to believe it's a side effect of lucid dreaming too.
I know no one can answer these questions fully. lol we'll all just keep observing and learning.
There are multiple cultures who have observed and lived and still practice being in these states as they are a key to the full unification and understanding of the plane of existence we are mostly living in and with. (See the first comment I just left for leaky20. There are much more.) The sleep paralysis is a natural part of the process of becoming fully aware, thus a bit of a side-effect of learning to lucid dream, as one thing, but also a side effect of meditation, when one gets to a certain depth...
Namaste :)
Yeah, this is true and Leaky20's post supports that too.
ok gotcha :)
Yes I agree that we are all observing and learning
