I don't know how you find these papers, but thank you. This makes sense for babies as well as adults. If there are amyloid clots blocking arteries, this is another mechanism of injury, caused by the body's own physiological changes during sleep.

Fascinating read. Now I'm wondering about the role of melatonin ... seemingly contradictory?

This is some Freddy Krueger nightmare stuff.

Sympathetic nervous system overdrive. Or is it the vasoconstriction that results from this, causing partial blockages (clots/amyloids) to fully block the vessels as they narrow?

Wow, there it was right in front of us. "The intensity of the emotional states achieved during dreaming may be as strong as or stronger than those which are experienced during wakefulness, and thus to the extent that behavioral stress is an acute risk factor for sudden death

[36-41], it is reasonable to hypothesize that REM sleep and dreaming may be capable of precipitating life-threaten ing arrhythmias" Great find Walter. That could explain the SADS epidemic. As a deep REM sleeper I am now doubly glad that I never took the shot.

Same here. I dream vividly and often it is very scary!

Quite significant when you consider the realm of the unconscious - dream state.

The South Australian Medical Association Vice president lost a daughter post booster.

There's a very big abyss between reality and a Medical Mums world view.

ie the stuff of nightmares.

I suppose in time things will sink in, even for these people?

Nor underestimate the power of Truth nor of Love to find a way to bring themselves into a wrong consciousness.

Hi Walter, has this got anything to do with Freddy Kruger coming to get you in your sleep? I will try not to fall asleep tonight (lolz). Sterling work (as usual)....I will highlight it on my blog today sometime with the obligatory clip from nightmare on Elm street. I think you have been spot on with many of your hypothesis and you have pushed investigation forward. Thank you.

What is the mechanism for advising melatonin use for covid? Melatonin, 6mg, at bedtime, has been included in the FLCCC preventative and treatment protocols for some time now.

ok here's an antidote: Tibetan dream yoga. It is essentially recognizing your sleep state, ludic dreaming and even mastery - changing the dream content. Just recognizing that you are dreaming will take the emotion out of it. It requires some determination and intense mindfulness but it's free and a better mental engagement than fearing sleep.
