    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.
