Primeiro que tudo queria explicar o que me levou à escolha deste tema e o processo até chegar a esta pesquisa.
Inicialmente o tema que eu tinha pensado abordar não tinha ligação com o actual. Tratava de outros lados da questão do sono, mas não aliados à paralisia do sono. A paralisia do sono é algo que nos dias de hoje ainda é pouco conhecida. Só recentemente se começou a prestar mais atenção e a compreender realmente do que se trata. Eu sofro de paralisia do sono desde muito novo, mas experiencio menos episódios agora do que antes. A ligação que estabeleci com este tema foi maior do que a tinha com o tema anterior, estou mais à vontade e entusiasmado. A Paralisia do Sono é um tema com possibilidades tão vastas. Deste modo criei uma performance juntamente com uma colega minha, a Mariana, baseada não só na minha experiência pessoal, mas também na investigação que realizei ao longo deste tempo de trabalho. Assim tento aprofundar as sensações vividas durante tal experiência e transpor as lutas mentais e físicas que o indivíduo tem aquando tal acontecimento. As opiniões divergem quando tentamos categorizar a paralisia do sono. É vista tanto do ponto mental/psicológico como do ponto sobrenatural/do oculto. Na performance que apresentei estão presentes as duas vertentes, colocadas de um modo em que se complementam e misturam. É estranho, é assustador, às vezes não tem sentido, mas é mesmo disso que trata. Não há uma explicação para os acontecimentos surreais que se experiencia, é um mistério que aos poucos se vai desvendando. Este relatório explora a história da paralisia assim como a sua interpretação nos dias de hoje. Desde a sua relação com os diversos povos ou culturas e grupos sociais. Contrapondo teorias e crenças paranormais com teorias médicas. De que modo é que os dois campos se distanciam e o que é que os dois têm a dizer sobre o assunto.
ABSTRACT - First of all I would like to explain what led me to choose this theme and the process until I arrived at this research. Initially the topic I had thought to address had no connection to the current one. It dealt with other sides of the sleep issue, but not allied to sleep paralysis. Sleep paralysis is something that in this day and age is still little known. Only recently has more attention started to be paid to it and really understanding what it is all about. I have suffered from sleep paralysis since I was very young, but I experience fewer episodes now than before. The connection I have made with this topic is greater than I had with the previous topic, I am more at ease and excited. Sleep Paralysis is a theme with such vast possibilities. So I created a performance together with one of my colleagues, Mariana, based not only on my personal experience, but also on the research I have done during this time of work. Thus I try to deepen the sensations lived during such an experience and to transpose the mental and physical struggles that the individual has when such an event occurs. Opinions differ when we try to categorize sleep paralysis. It is seen both from the mental/psychological point and from the supernatural/occult point. In the performance I have presented there are both aspects present, placed in a way that they complement each other and mix. It's strange, it's scary, it sometimes makes no sense, but that's really what it's about. There is no explanation for the surreal events you experience, it's a mystery that is slowly unraveling. This report explores the history of paralysis as well as its interpretation today. From its relationship to various peoples or cultures and social groups. Contrasting paranormal theories and beliefs with medical theories. How do the two fields differ and what do the two have to say on the subject.
