For centuries, Karabasan was believed to be the work of demons, evil spirits, or dark forces.
Today, modern science identifies it as sleep paralysis a brief disconnection between the mind and the body during sleep.
* A transition disorder between sleep stages:
Sleep paralysis often occurs while waking up from REM sleep.
During REM, the brain is as active as it is when awake, but the body remains in a state of muscle atonia temporary paralysis.
When the mind awakens before the body does, a person becomes aware yet unable to move, often feeling a heavy pressure on the chest.
* Hallucinations:
In this state, the brain may project REM dreams into waking reality.
That’s why people report seeing shadows, dark figures, or feeling “something pressing on their chest.”
In earlier times, such experiences were believed to be encounters with demonic entities like Ephialtes or Incubus.
* Shortness of breath:
Breathing becomes shallow during REM sleep, so when someone wakes up in this stage, they may feel as if they’re suffocating reinforcing the sense that “someone is sitting on their chest.”
Beyond this physical effect, common triggers include stress, trauma, anxiety, and irregular sleep patterns.
In the Middle Ages, these causes were unknown, so people interpreted the phenomenon as a supernatural attack.
Summary
Karabasan was once feared as a terrifying omen of evil in ancient myths and medieval beliefs.
Modern science, however, reveals it as a fascinating mismatch between the brain and body during sleep.
It remains one of the most intriguing dream phenomena a mystery once born in the shadows of fear, now illuminated by the light of science.
