Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I think the term to search for might be something like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.
Oh thank you! Now that you mention it, I do remember looking that up for other reasons, I'll look more into it 😀
What I vaguely remember is that when the TMS devices were tuned to ... I want to say the visual cortex? ... it caused people—fully conscious people!—to start experiencing all the symptoms of sleep paralysis and report sensations and visions that were fully in line with among other things certain kinds of "night hag" hauntings or even UFO abductions (informed by cultural upbringing).
And there's other research indicating that geomagnetic effects can impact sleep patterns and dreams.
