Paralysis is one of the most disturbing and at the same time one of the surprising side effects of REM sleep. During sleep, large groups of muscles are often in a paralyzed state, most likely to prevent physical injury to the sleeper if his reflexes cause a bodily reaction to the images he sees in the dream. Such a state can cause concern if a person feels that the body is paralyzed, without realizing that his mind is still asleep.
