睡眠麻痹和清醒梦都是与快速眼动 (REM) 睡眠相关的分离体验。轶事证据表明，睡眠麻痹和清醒梦的发作是相关但不同的经历。在这项研究中，我们首次对 1928 名参与者（年龄范围：18-82 岁；53% 女性）进行在线调查，系统地测试了这一说法。证实了轶事证据，睡眠麻痹和清醒梦频率呈正相关，这种关联在清醒梦和以前庭运动幻觉为特征的睡眠麻痹发作之间最为明显。解离体验是睡眠麻痹和清醒梦的唯一常见（积极）预测因子。这两种经历都显示出与其他关键变量的不同关联：睡眠瘫痪是通过睡眠质量、焦虑和生活压力来预测的，而清醒梦是通过积极的建设性白日梦风格和生动的感官意象来预测的。总体而言，结果表明，清醒期间的分离体验反映在快速眼动睡眠期间的分离体验中。虽然睡眠瘫痪主要与睡眠质量和健康问题有关，但清醒梦可能反映了清醒状态下继续增强的想象力和积极的意象。
Sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming are both dissociated experiences related to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. Anecdotal evidence suggests that episodes of sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming are related but different experiences. In this study we test this claim systematically for the first time in an online survey with 1928 participants (age range: 18-82 years; 53% female). Confirming anecdotal evidence, sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming frequency were related positively and this association was most apparent between lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis episodes featuring vestibular-motor hallucinations. Dissociative experiences were the only common (positive) predictor of both sleep paralysis and lucid dreaming. Both experiences showed different associations with other key variables of interest: sleep paralysis was predicted by sleep quality, anxiety and life stress, whereas lucid dreaming was predicted by a positive constructive daydreaming style and vividness of sensory imagery. Overall, results suggest that dissociative experiences during wakefulness are reflected in dissociative experiences during REM sleep; while sleep paralysis is related primarily to issues of sleep quality and wellbeing, lucid dreaming may reflect a continuation of greater imaginative capacity and positive imagery in waking states.
