Description
Wrestling with Ghosts by Jorge Conesa is a comprehensive exploration of sleep paralysis, a complex and often misunderstood sleep disorder. This book aims to demystify the experience, presenting both scientific research and personal accounts in an effort to normalize the phenomenon. By examining traditional cultural accounts, recent medical history, and empirical descriptions, the author sheds light on the psychological and social factors that contribute to sleep paralysis. The work also delves into the aesthetic and creative aspects of uncanny dreaming, exploring its place within various disciplines such as mythology, shamanism, and psychology. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this book provides a unique perspective on the history and evolution of sleep paralysis, including its recent descriptions in the context of alleged alien abductions.
