Sleep Paralysis – Our Waking Nightmares and Fantasies

Ryan Hurd discusses Sleep Paralysis phenomena with The Unnormal Paranormal Podcast

Ryan Hurd, consciousness researcher and author of Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night, describes the terrifying notion of nightmares visually manifesting while we are waking! Also covered: night terrors and out of body experiences

With degrees in archeology and Consciousness Studies, Ryan’s aim is to “help bring about a new dreaming culture that integrates the best of 21st century thought with the intuitive ways of knowing prized by our ancestors: dreams, visions and imagination”.

His authored works include Dream Like a Boss (Books 1 and 2), and Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night. He also co-edited, with Kelly Bulkeley, the two volume reference edition “Lucid Dreaming: New Perspectives on Consciousness in Sleep.”

As an educator, Ryan has presented to a wide range of audiences, including invited lectures for TEDMED, Stanford University, the Institute of Buddhist Studies, and the Rhine Institute.
