Sonambulismo

Se cree, erróneamente, que el sonambulismo es la conversión, en el estado de vigilia, de los movimientos físicos que efectúa el individuo en las escenas que está realizando durante su sueño. Pero la realidad es que el sonambulismo se presenta en las fases de sueño profundo (No-REM), en las que no hay presencia de ensoñaciones; por ello, los episodios de sonambulismo se parecen más a un estado alterado de consciencia en el que se tiene una visión distorsionada del entorno real con el que están interactuando, y su imaginación se mezcla con lo que hay realmente a su alrededor.

En 1846, Albert Tirrell fue encontrado inocente de asesinato e incendio, argumentando que al hacerlo estaba sonámbulo. Esta es la primera absolución por sonambulismo en la historia de la defensa jurídica que se conoce.

Do you also beg for love from those who wish to dominate you? Do they also beg for love, but then will you dominate them? Even the devil can be pitiful. Even the devil can peer into the glass box where you write up your reports and dream of a hand stroking its back. there are two outcomes: submit or remain a monster. Because he despised us, because h...
