Dataset readout: Sleep paralysis at REM–wake border in REM (mid-cycle). Cortical window 4.04–8.36 Hz (theta). Atonia=preserved. Markers drive the text below — not dream-symbol meanings.
- brief autonomic flicker
- chest pressure
- inability to vocalize
Mechanism stack
- Cortically, this row runs theta at 4.04–8.36 Hz while sleep paralysis at REM–wake border, recurring deep inside the cycle plays out in REM sleep.
- GABA leads the chemistry here (inhibitory tone rises across cortical and spinal targets); acetylcholine, glycine also show up; density for this row is 107.9.
- Dataset row #99403376: atonia 92/100, arousal 39/100, coherence 58/100 — motor inhibition is strong here, over a middling, mixed backdrop.
- On this mid-cycle row the markers stack as "brief autonomic flicker" → "chest pressure" → "inability to vocalize" — repeating steadily through an already-stable stretch.
- The BODY line on this page leans on "brief autonomic flicker" for this mid-cycle/REM row — scored as hardware, not metaphor.
"brief autonomic flicker" logged in the mid-cycle window shifts how Lab Search ranks REM sleep pages: body signal first, imagery second.
Felt on waking
On waking, the marker named most often is "brief autonomic flicker" with "chest pressure" close behind. Because this row sits at mid-cycle in REM sleep, it usually repeats quietly without breaking sleep, so it is easy to miss until you look for it.
Related physiology
This row connects to Atonia lock — the GABA–glycine brake that holds skeletal muscle offline during REM.
How Lab Search uses this row
The Lab does not look up "brief autonomic flicker" in a symbol table — tied here to GABA activity; it uses it to weight the BODY line of your REM reading toward mechanism.

How to read Sleep paralysis at REM–wake border in REM sleep (mid-cycle)
This row is Sleep paralysis at REM–wake border in REM (mid-cycle). Cortical window 4.04–8.36 Hz (theta). Atonia state: preserved. Density 107.9. Chart seed 99403376 is deterministic for this URL — the trace is a model of the row, not a clinical EEG.
Gauges on this page: atonia 92, arousal 39, coherence 58. Markers: brief autonomic flicker, chest pressure, inability to vocalize. Transmitters tagged: GABA, acetylcholine, glycine. Those fields are why two “similar” titles are not duplicates. If a marker did not happen to you, say so — do not wear the whole row.
What the body is doing — not what the image “means”
On waking, the marker named most often is "brief autonomic flicker" with "chest pressure" close behind. Because this row sits at mid-cycle in REM sleep, it usually repeats quietly without breaking sleep, so it is easy to miss until you look for it. "brief autonomic flicker" logged in the mid-cycle window shifts how Lab Search ranks REM sleep pages: body signal first, imagery second.

How Lab Search should use this row
The Lab does not look up "brief autonomic flicker" in a symbol table — tied here to GABA activity; it uses it to weight the BODY line of your REM reading toward mechanism. Then open Decode if you also have a plot. The plot is optional; the body line is not.
This utility will not treat Sleep paralysis at REM–wake border as a spirit, a pregnancy test, or a death omen. It will treat it as a stage-bound somatic metric. If symptoms are nightly, worsening, or include dream enactment, that is clinical, not catalog.
