I had it happen over the summer and it really freaked me out because I didn’t know what why it was happening. It only lasted for like a minute, though. > > Apparently there is a separate part of your brain that shuts off control to your body when you sleep so that you don’t act out dreams and sometimes it doesn’t click back on right away when you wake up and you are “paralyzed.” Not a good feeling. I dream lucidly, and this happens fairly often. Feels similar to when you realize you are dreaming and try to wake your self up. You are aware of your body, still dreaming, but can’t move yet. ---

I’m really hoping that this isn’t some kind of hoax, but that just seems really strange ---

When I first read an article about this yesterday I was amazed…but after seeing the videos…meh…this guy “talking” through a facilitator guiding his hand while he’s obviously asleep is as believable as the backwards retarded cheerleader chick. ---

Sounds like it’s at least a little true because he can answer yes/no questions using his foot. > Houben has since proven able to answer yes-or-no questions with slight movements of his foot. It’s a tremendous accomplishment, and raises the chilling possibility that, as estimated by Coma Science Group leader Steven Laureys in a Monday New York Times story, as many as four in 10 people considered utterly comatose may be misdiagnosed. His moving narrative about a second birth sounds like it came entirely from his “facilitator” though. ---

Talked to my g/f about this last night who is in grad school for psych and works with autistic people. She mentioned that there was a huge deal about people leading autistic patients hands to see if they could communicate properly. The theory was that most autistic people are just as smart, or smarter than average but they just can’t communicate it. The person assisting them was called a facilitator. A huge law suit came about where an autistic patient said his dad raped him, this being done through the facilitator. They eventually did tests where they would show the facilitator one thing, and the patient another (without them knowing that they saw something different) and the facilitator would “assist” the patient in saying what the facilitator saw, not what the patient saw. I found that interesting. The facilitator would actually do it sub-consciously. I doubt they all bad ill-intentions. But it all just goes to show that this is probably bullshit too. ---
