WHY DO WE ACTUALLY SLEEP....

Sleep...it is like partial death. A descending staircase into the void of the subconscious which triggers a response that we all desire yet cannot initiate when we are in the  'Normal' state. This normal sometimes feels really burdensome; entirely full of intricate complexities. Occasionally it is just that your internal self is experiencing something gruesome and yet you cannot reflect it in a social setting simply because you fear a deviance from what we consider 'normal'. In fact, several abnormalities inarguably ascend from the ashes of being what one would envisage to be normal. The elegant words of Carl Jung- 'Neurosis is always a substitute for legitimate suffering' provide an ideal testimony to the sanctity of the argument. In such a miserable case, it is the benevolent sleep that keeps you alive by allowing you to shout your grievances off into the oblivion that surrounds and for that tiny speck of time, you realize that there is undeniably enough beauty around (that had for sure remained inconspicuous till now). If you are searching tirelessly for some particular reason that why do we sleep, then here is your answer that there is no clearly-defined true answer. No one knows any exact answer because there is simply none right now and besides scientists researching extensively over this intriguing subject, speculating the important purposes it serves, there are only pretenders who falsely claim and for the same reason they are the ones to be blamed. There are theories about the occurrence of dreams because man did realize the importance of dreams long back or putting it simply because they dragged immense attention of the ancient cultures prevalent then. Here I am to briefly introduce you to the essence of sleep - a journey that ultimately leads one to dreams which all in particular love simply because everyone accepts at least at some point that life just has a tendency to fall apart when you are awake. Even if you do not agree now, you will for sure when you'll lie down on your couch completely exhausted, since besides being an indispensable need and a basic necessity it is the world where you actually prefer to live, for afterall, it is hell lot better than reality. Frankly speaking, an escape from reality into a realm where there is no fear of past is definitely worth trying which your brain finds utterly remarkable. They say to heal wounds, you are bound not to touch them and the best way to refrain in the case of a lasting psychological injury, is to sleep. There is no fear of death, simply because you cannot die. Attempt it and you'll inevitably fail because the mind has no idea what will happen after death, even in the unconscious realm and that is where things start to become interesting...when you realize that you have conquered the greatest fear that exists, when you have succeeded in tricking the organ that mercilessly tricks you more often (hallucinations and delusions being those indisputable tactics after all) it is there where the glory lies. In the surreptitious sphere where one lives and desires to reside,  where there are no boundaries, no rules to abide; one gets rid of all his pensive thoughts and finds solace...when waves of tranquillity wash away every single trace of grimace. When you stand alone, alleviated, under a starry clear sky, having left society and broken all ties...where you are free to explore with no limitations, what the heart actually yearns for...since whenever you feel like returning back to your original reality or somewhat that grim insanity, fortunately your alarm will go off and woooooosh! You are back...

Intrigued by the conversation I had with my student  Satvik Dev.

PARAPSYCHOLOGY: SCIENCE OF ANOMALIES OR A SEARCH FOR GHOST

Augustine Escoffier once rightly proclaimed that Novelty is the universal cry which irrefutably is the fundamental notion today underlying the open sphere of innovative researches being carried out all around us. But while craving for novel experiences is becoming an exceedingly common mania among people these days, eye-witness accounts of experiences have been and continue to raise eyebrows today when the description highlights the negative side of a person’s beliefs and affirms the existence of not so uncommonly discussed paranormal entities. Albeit claims and rumoured sightings of what people usually refer to as ghosts or spirits have been blatantly rejected by scientists often citing them as instances lacking concrete evidence resulting due to various natural phenomena, intriguing questions have never seized to sprout out regarding the unnatural occurrences or impossible to believe verbal narrations of stories in support of the presence of such abnormal or mysterious bodies.

Hence, while the actual existence of such entities or prevalence of psychic powers which they seem to possess are and shall continue to remain hotly debated, I find it absolutely necessary to discuss about what could be the stimulating processes in action or the mental forces underlying the psychological functioning during such particular times that may particularly lead an individual to encounter strange realities in a specific setting. Concepts such as population stereotype, Implicit Universality of Paranormal Beliefs, Sleep Paralysis, Existential Infrasound, Misperceived Self-Representation, Pareidolia and numerous other combined with disruptions in attention and mental processing seek to explain in great deal just how subtly one can witness a strange and spine-chilling experience without in fact being exposed to some actual relevant paranormal threat. Let me know if you are interested in knowing more about the psychology behind such experiences.
