That's the overplay of the emotion. Yeah. By the way, the hippocampus also turns out the memory part of the brain is also hyperactive in the dream REM world. So you have the memory spilling in into this narrative about a monster chasing you. So you give it identity, you give it name, you give it all these negative features.

You contextualize it based on the hyperactive hippocampus. Because then it's chasing you and you can't run away because we said the motor, central motor generator of your brainstem is making it very hard for you to move. So you don't have the, so movement normally occurs in the motor cortex of your brain that gives you voluntary movement.

But because that part of the brain can't compete with the central motor, automatic part of the brain firing and making your behaviors all, you know, sporadic and automatic, so you can't get away. Now, what you said was interesting. You said if you turn around and approach the monster, the monster will become diminished in strength.

And that's interesting because we know in the real world, if you walk, simply by walking, you will turn down the activity of the amygdala because you're telling your brain or yourself that you are approaching, you're engaging in approach behavior instead of withdrawal behavior.

You're changing and saying, now I'm no longer the prey here. I'm the predator. I am the one that is doing the haunting. And so in that sense, it would make sense that the monster would vanish. So that's very interesting. But I also want to touch on monsters since we're on the topic of monsters. So there's a condition called sleep paralysis, and I talk about it in my Peterson Academy course.

There's a whole lecture on sleep paralysis. So are you familiar with sleep paralysis? Yes.

Do you see any monsters? Can you explain? I'm curious.
