It's a meme, right? But at this point, what's interesting is that we've shown that people who have this episode, they will have more anxiety and more PTSD-like symptoms from this, right? So at this point, she might have these... small tease of trauma of the monster coming and attacking you and then creating an overall trauma. So it becomes almost a traumatic experience.

That's what I'm saying, right? So she goes around and tells her friends about it. And it turns out then that if you live in a culture like Egypt, it's twice as common versus Denmark. So we said that for an individual person, you will have it three times more than the person who has sleep paralysis. But beyond this... It's generally twice as common in cultures like Egypt and Italy and so forth.

So there's this element to it that's very, very interesting. And I want to take you to an experiment that your colleague Rich did, Rich McNally, that sort of encapsulates all this. So he showed that people who think that sleep paralysis is a space alien abduction, So these guys will say, well, I was sleeping in my bed and this gray came down in a spaceship. It attacked me. It choked me.

It took out my semen. It was a lot of sexuality going on. And obviously we know from REM sleep, the hypothalamus and these parts of the brain are hyperactive. The sexual parts of the brain are hyperactive. So you have sexual arousal doing sleep paralysis. Right, right, right. So you have the monster coming down, taking their semen and all that.

But then at this point, what's interesting is that these guys, when they listen to the audio script of their encounters of themselves narrating, so they'll listen to themselves saying, oh, I had this experience and this happened and that happened.
