Raymond FoongMy body is awake in my sleep

Imagine waking up in the middle of the night screaming in your sleep disturbing your family members and having no idea what triggers it. This was my introduction to sleep terror. It had an intense, autonomic arousal with motor activity that results in anxiety and post-traumatic disorders.

Lack of sleep produce brain exhaustion and it affects the mental, emotional states, which can trigger hallucination and depression. Long-term effect might include increase risk of chronic illness, diabetes and heart diseases. This unconscious symptom affects the bodily systems of respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular and endocrine, just to name a few.

In my practice, I found out for sleep terror, that the body, which seemed to be asleep is not at rest. Very often the source of trauma manifests itself and yet the client has no recollection of what the dream and the active movements of shock the body went through is about. Sometimes it involves kicking, shouting, yelling, sleep walking, sometimes hurting of the partner sleeping in the same bed. The body is still conscious in sleep.

The body forms the framework where the reference to the above symptoms could be traced back to an early trauma source. Dissociation was the response.

In my session, we explore “Who are you in the terror and fear that wakes you?” “What is the unconscious response that needed to be heard and understood?” I want to support you using Franz Ruppert’s Intention method to uncover the answers.
