Of all sleep states, sleep paralysis is the most misunderstood — and often the most terrifying. But what if it’s not a malfunction of the brain, but a threshold of contact?
Sleep Paralysis News is the podcast redefining what sleep paralysis really is. Through personal stories, expert conversations, and deep inquiry, host Dr. Sheila Pryce Brooks and Cyrus Richardson explore the connection to spirituality, altered states, and even non-human intelligence.
From ancestral visitations to quantum possibility, each episode shines a light on what’s long been kept in the dark. Whether you’re an experiencer, a researcher, or spiritually curious, this is your place to hear what no one else is saying — and discover you’re not alone.

Are We Living Other Lives in Our Dreams? | Sleep Paralysis, Recurring Worlds & Parallel Realities
In this episode of Sleep Paralysis News, Dr Sheila Pryce Brooks and Cyrus Richardson speak with Mike Rembis about his remarkably vivid and recurring dream experiences. Mike describes returning again and again to the same houses, streets, workplaces and communities, sometimes recognising people and navigating places he already seems to know.
For Mike, these experiences raise an intriguing possibility: could sleep sometimes give us access to what feels like another life or another reality?
The conversation explores recurring dream worlds, lucid awareness, observing oneself within a dream, memory across dreams and Mike's unusual experience of sleep paralysis, which he describes not as frightening but as a deeply calm state of stillness or “oblivion”. The discussion also turns to déjà vu and Mike's own theory that the strange feeling of having lived a moment before could be connected to realities existing alongside our own.
Are these experiences constructions of the dreaming mind, recurring dream environments, or something we do not yet fully understand?
Join us for a wide-ranging conversation about sleep, consciousness, memory and the strange sense that sometimes, when we dream, we may be returning somewhere we have been before.

Dreams, Synchronicity, and Trusting Inner Guidance: A Conversation with Nicole & Michael Sebastian
In this episode of Sleep Paralysis News, Dr Sheila Pryce Brooks speaks with Dr Nicole Sebastian (psychologist) and Professor Michael Sebastian (sociologist) about dreams, synchronicity, and the development of inner trust.
The conversation explores how meaningful dream experiences can precede major life changes, how people make sense of repeated signs and coincidences, and how inner guidance is interpreted across personal, psychological, and social contexts. Nicole and Michael reflect on their early dream experiences, the role of intuition in decision-making, and how individuals learn to distinguish internal signals from expectation or belief.
Rather than offering instruction or interpretation, this discussion focuses on how experiences are lived, recognised, and integrated, and how trust develops over time through reflection, pattern recognition, and discernment.
