had multiple meanings; scientific explanation
has uncovered SP for what it is, for some, a sign
of very severe illnesses, while for others, only
a nightmare accompanied by the emergence of
evil. Different approaches used to calculate the
frequency have been related to the difference in
SP occurrence among nations and ethnic communities.
In Canadian culture, SP is associated
with a dream that is influenced by an individual's
intellectual ideas. Egyptian culture holds the
strong idea that SP can result in death and that
SP is brought on by a Jinn (a malicious spiritual
being). Although there is no established explanation
for the causes of SP, research has revealed
some potential risk factors, including substance
abuse, stress, trauma, genetic predispositions,
physical sickness, and abnormal sleep habits.

lives, and 5% of those episodes will include visual,
aural, and sensory hallucinations.
