What? You mean there are no aliens?

I guess it must be a slow news day, but the idea off abductees suffering from sleep paralysis and active imaginations has been around for quite a while. I don't think it has been around as long as fifty years though.
 
Press and news usually forget about clearing up things, or probably they don't care. They prefer to save them for the times where they don't have anything better for filling up the news.

When I had my first sleep paralysis I thought I was dying more than being abducted by aliens, and now I'm so used to them that they are more of a hobby ...

Does that mean you can have "lucid" sleep paralyses ? Can someone have a limited amount of control over them ?

Basically says that people who claim to have been abducted are probably suffering from sleep paralysis and have active imaginations. Isn't this idea about twenty years old? Fifty?

Strange what the press chooses to report on.

The press is almost never as skeptical as I'd like. They think it's a novel idea to place the burden of proof the on the individual making the claim. Usually they just find a story, put the word "alleged" in front and call it a day.

I mean that when I have a paralysis I perfectly know what's happening, so I just calm down and wait until I can gain control of my legs or arms :)
I usually have them after a nightmare where I think to be awake.
