As casual as it sounds (only because I have it somewhat often), I woke up this morning paralyzed. Never before had I thought of researching it to see if it was an actual medical problem, and turns out: it is. After reading about it, I am quite thankful that I don’t have the hallucinations that most people experience, yet I am simply paralyzed for a minute or so when I force myself to wake up, as I frequently do being a lucid dreamer. Episodes are caused by a misconnection between the end of REM sleep and the trigger to un-paralyze the body (that is paralyzed normally during REM). Anyway, while researching I found this amazing, amazing Japanese photographer who has imagined and photographed what it is like for some, as well as many other disease and disorder related problems.
