The Wisdom of Carl
Macrobius, a Latin author before the fall of Rome, described phantasma (appearances) seen “in the moment between wakefulness and slumber”. He is describing what is now known as “sleep paralysis”, experienced by almost everyone at some time in their life. In the semi-conscious state between being asleep and awake, briefly, you seem to come awake but cannot move or call out, making you anxious or even terrified. Sometimes, it is no more than this, and you nod off, but many people also experience hallucinations, from as little as feeling the bedsheets moving to visions of ghosts, demons, monsters, aliens—Macrobius’s phantasma—all with “the full force and impact of reality”, according to psychologist Robert Baker, cited by C Sagan in Demon Haunted World.
