.
From the point of view of history
Ancient Greece The phenomenon was of both theological and medical concern in ancient Greece. In the second century AD C., the famous physician Galen called the experience «ephialtes», which meant «jump on you», to describe sleep paralysis. The Greeks would use the term Pan ephialtes, in relation to the great horned God of wood and flocks, because he was believed to be having intercourse with the dreamer during sleep paralysis. When it happened, it was a fortuitous sign of abundant future income.
byzantine rome In the Roman parts of Alexandria during the 7th century, the Byzantine physician Paulus Aegineta first wrote about the concept of sleep paralysis. As an avid surgeon and encyclopedia writer, he was interested in detailing his medical observations and produced seven influential books (one of which is cited as the origin of plastic surgery). Regarding sleep paralysis, Paulus believes that it could be cured with “drastic bleeding, purgatives and friction on the limbs”. If this did not work, throat hollowing, diet restriction and shaving of the patient’s head would be an effective treatment.
As Christianity began to dominate the Western world during the Middle Ages, the fertility blessings associated with sleep paralysis were pushed aside under the restrictive sexual climate.
Ancient Middle East and Islam Both pre-Islamic and Islamic cultures have cited jinn, or spirit-like supernatural creatures, as the cause of sleep paralysis. The word Jinn translates to «hide» or «conceal.» Jinns have been known to cause disease, mental illness, and nightmares. Sleep paralysis was commonly known as «jinn affliction» and was thought to be the result of jinn possession.
ancient africa In southern Nigeria, the cause of sleep paralysis was attributed to Ogun Oru, which translates to night warfare. When it does occur, it was culturally believed to be a negative infiltration during the dream state. It was believed that this could escalate into a dispute between the earthly spouse and the spiritual spouse of the person who wanted to have sexual liberties with the person. To get rid of the negative presence, elaborate rituals were performed to remove the evil essence from one’s dream state.
ancient chinese The Chinese have believed since ancient times that the soul is vulnerable to spirits during sleep. Between 403-221 a. C. The first book on sleep in China called Zhou Li / Chun Guan describes how the government had imperial officials who acted as interpreters of dreams. It was his duty to classify dreams into 6 different types. The text does not directly mention sleep paralysis, but historians have noted that the description of the type of sleep “E-meng” (surprise dreams) closely resembles the concept of sleep paralysis.
Between AD 30-124, the first recorded Chinese character for the word «phantom oppression» appeared in Shuo Wen Chieh Tzu, which was the first Chinese dictionary. There has been a historical debate as to whether it referred more to a nighttime possession causing nightmares or to being oppressed by a ghost at night and paralyzed. Most experts lean towards the latter meaning. Phantom oppression attacks continue to be described as similar to sleep paralysis to this day.
