This answer seems satisfactoy on face level. But digging deeper there are still questions.
Why does everyone have a similar experience with sleep paralysis. The old hag, the hat man, the shadow people, demons and grey aliens. <- why would the mind project these images regardless of cultural and traditional upbringing and exposure to said characters.
Wearing a fedora and cloak isn't popular at all in asia, yet many have see the hat man.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32549987 if u dont have fear u dont see the shadow men and demons. if u are not scared u will see nothing or happy dreams in front of you like butterflies unicorns and... Jesus and Angels... people think its real tho sadly. people usually have fear because they wake up and suddenly they cant move a muscle and the darkness is associated with ghosts, so when u are dreaming that makes u see shadow men Ok I don't think you understand the significance of this being a WORLDWIDE phenomenon? Have you had the chance to travel yet? I have lived in 25 different countries with many distinctly different cultures. People from certain countries have no exposure to any images that would be reflected as hat man or the old hag. Yet people see it. Its fine to explain it away as Christians either seeing angels or demons, but what about atheist cultures that experience it? Or pagan or buddhist cultures? I don't think its a as simple as 'people see demons when they're scared and angels when they're not'. Because peoples descriptions of the demons and angels would differ greatly. Also the majority of people i talk to have some kind of idea about how a demon or the devil would look. Gargoyles and goatees and pitch forks and shit. Nothing about a shadow in a london fog jacket and fedora. trust me it is just a dream, if u concentrate u can change the shadow man into something else. some people also see the girl from the ring. no one knows why most people see a shadow man and/or demons. they are just associated with fear by default i guess. i have had 1 OBE and a couple lucid dreams, all by using sleep paralysis You basically admitted that you don't know why. This is the question that I am looking for the answer too.
