Jen and Dagda crack open one of the most unsettling sleep experiences out there: sleep paralysis—the kind where you wake up, can’t move, and swear a demon is sitting on your chest.

In this episode, they explore  Jen’s most recent paralysis episode: being pinned by an eight-foot “demon,” feeling hooves kicking her legs, and waking up with very real bruises! Dagda’s own demon and mist-entity encounters before he knew what sleep paralysis was.

How core emotions and “resting anger” can shape how we react to fear and stress. Why our brains can create real pain, welts, and marks from dreams and hallucinations. Grounding strategies like “making rocks grow” and drawing strength from a stuffed-husky guardian named Bernard How aging, hormone changes, and REM sleep behavior disorders can ramp up vivid dreams and sleep disturbances.

Anchored in humor, science, and a lot of “you don’t have permission to be here,” this conversation is for anyone who’s ever woken up frozen, terrified, and wondering if they’re the only one.
