In this episode of Musings on Mysteries and the Mythical Matrix, the Psych & Spirit series welcomes special guest Vicki Joy Anderson—author, researcher, and expert on sleep paralysis and spiritual encounters.
🕯️ What is really happening in the in-between state of sleep? Is it all in our heads—or are we brushing up against entities, dimensional thresholds, or ancient patterns?
🧠 This episode dives into:
🔹 What sleep paralysis really is—and why it's more than just a hallucination
🔹 The “mall world” theory and how environments in sleep may be spiritually significant
🔹 Whether lucid dreaming opens doors we’re not prepared to face
🔹 How ancient people slept—and how it might’ve shaped their spiritual sensitivity
🔹 Dream interpretation, Gilgamesh parallels, and Vicki's insights into night terrors vs. sleep paralysis
💭 Get ready for a deep blend of neuroscience, personal experience, and biblical worldview that challenges both the material and mystical explanations for what happens when the lights go out.
⚠️ Whether skeptic or seeker, this episode might just keep you up tonight.
🎙️ Tap in, share your sleep stories, and explore the veil with us.
