Abduction by Aliens by Susan Blackmore critiques abduction experiences through cognitive psychology, sleep paralysis, and fantasy-proneness frameworks. Blackmore argues many reports originate in misinterpreted altered states.
DSETI tracks this reference because Rekshan cites Blackmore in discussions of sleep paralysis, memory distortion, and the dreamlike nature of contact experiences. The work helps stabilize interpretation boundaries.
For DSETI, Blackmore’s critique is crucial for distinguishing genuine visionary encounter phenomena from memory distortions shaped by cultural expectation.
