Abduction is Dream-like

Alien Abduction is Dreamlike

Alien abduction is still a taboo topic and no one seems to understand it.  It's important to note that not all ET/NHI contact experiences are abduction.  Alien abduction is characterized by the experience of being taken against your will, generally to another location where technical or medical procedures are performed.


Our notions of alien abduction are defined by the hypnotic regressions of only around 250 abductees, performed by around 10 hypnotists.  It appears that abduction happens much less frequently than positive ET/NHI contact experiences.  Negative abduction appears to represent only about 10% of contact experiences.


The notion of alien abduction is still a subject of debate because of the problematic status of hypnotic regression as testimony.  D-SETI rejects the notion that hypnosis enhances memories and puts forward the notion that hypnosis induces dreamlike states of consciousness that work with the missing time episode, but may not explain them.


If we treat alien abduction like a special type of dream, then we must respect the dreamer's authority regarding the interpretation or the significance of the dream.  The abductee is the only person who can say what the experience means.  D-SETI invites consideration that dreams and the dreamlike experiences of abduction can be both real and nonphysical.

Abduction happens during sleep and dream

Most abductions happen during sleep from the bedroom

Abduction typically happens from the bedroom during sleep states, which lead some researcher to hypothesize that it is sometime like sleep paralysis or an out of body experience. Its important to remember that things can be both dreamlike and real.


Some abductions happen in the daytime, but so do some dreams.

High strangeness is bizarre like dreams

UFOs and ETs are highly strange in the same way REM dreams are bizarre

ET and UFO contact experiences are highly strange, which is actually a technical term used to describe all sorts of events that happen around the sighting.  These events may be duplication /disappearance of objects, teleportation, telepathy, spirit visitation, expansion and compression of time, and miraculous healing.


REM (rapid eye movement) dreams are highly bizarre.  Dream scientists describe use language to describe the qualities of bizarreness in dreams.


These highly strange and bizarre events seem to involve non-Newtonian physics and psionic events, which directly point to the relevance of quantum physics and the related observer effect.

Abductees think of abduction like dreams

Only the hypnotists and researchers say different

Most of the dozen or so hypnotists who have published on abduction phenomenon report that their abductee clients think of the experiences as a dream before, during, and after hypnotic sessions.  Most of the hypnotists realize that something real has happened, then assume it must not be a dream.


Events can be dreamlike and real at the same time.  If we are living in something like a dream or simulation, which is an actual hypothesis regarding cosmology, then dreams may actually be more real than the objective and historic reality we share together.
