[kj] OT~ sleep paralysis?

[jo]

You've got the key there IMHO.  An adrenalin? rush created by the brain to 
jolt you.  'Waking up in a cold sweat'. It could be after a nightmare or a 
wet dream depending on your forté.  The reason for it's occurance is the 
same.  Some see it as a religious episode, some as being dropped into the 
Garden of Earthly Delights.

A functional state from which many artists come bearing fruit.

There we truly find out whether our cups are half full or half empty.
