Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lucid dreaming does not increase REM sleep paralysis. REM sleep paralysis is a natural phenomenon that occurs to prevent the body from acting out dreams. Lucid dreaming, on the other hand, is a state where the dreamer is aware they are dreaming and may have some control over the dream, but it does not affect the physiological mechanisms of REM sleep paralysis.
