A colleague of mine remarks,

"Do you know the first recorded incidence of REM sleep behavior disorder?

it is in the old testament—when Jacob wrestled with the angel of God in his sleep and broke his hip. In fact, that is the etiology of the name “ISRAEL” (in Hebrew “YISRA” means to wrestle with/fight and “EL” means god; literally translates as He Who Fights with God). after that incident, Jacob was known as “ Israel” and his off spring as “Israelites”)."

This is such a unique piece of writing. I once woke up to this mad technical sounding zipping noise in my head and then a short burst of radio chatter. Obviously freaked out I asked my doctor who said it was a form of sleep paralysis. It never happened again but sometimes I wonder if my brain became some sort of receiver for an accidental moment haha
