Between Sleep and Contact: A 5-Day Introduction Begins Monday
Starting Monday, 14 July, I’ll be sharing a short 5-day sequence here titled:
Between Sleep and Contact
A grounded introduction to night-time paralysis, presence, and Threshold Contact Experiences.
This series is for anyone who has ever:
Woken up unable to move
Felt a presence in the room at night
Experienced fear, pressure, or strange sensations during sleep
Wondered whether something meaningful was happening, but didn’t have the language to explain it
You’ll receive one post per day from Monday, 14th to Friday, 18th July.
Each one includes:
A clear explanation or reflection
A single prompt or action step
And on Day 5, a bonus audio + integration reflection for paid subscribers
Not Interested?
If this topic isn’t relevant to you, feel free to skip the emails next week. You’ll return to receiving my usual writing after the series ends — no action required.
Who It’s For
This series is for anyone who has:
Had strange or distressing experiences during sleep
Supported someone through night-time episodes they couldn’t explain
Been told it was “just sleep paralysis”, but sensed something deeper
Worked with people navigating altered states or threshold experiences
Or simply been curious about the edges of consciousness, perception, fear, and presence
Whether you’re an experiencer, a clinician, a carer, a researcher, or someone seeking to understand their own story, this is a grounded, non-pathologising starting point for making sense of what’s often left unnamed.
