Thery describe work by an American, Ellenson, who interviewed female incest survivors. "Careful mental state examinations found that all showed a post-incest syndrome involving specific disturbances in thought (certain types of nightmares, obsessions, dissociative experiences and phobias) and in perception (certain types of illusions and visual and auditory hallucinations)."..."Commonest were shadowy figures, movements in peripheral vision, intruder sounds...and inner helper voices..." I see some parallels with abductees here. As you may be aware Bob Bartholomew and I have drawn researchers attention to the possible link between fantasy-prone personality, abductees and childhood abuse. The line of thinking would go: could lifelong abductions actually be due to childhood (sexual) abuse (which we believe can trigger multiple personality disorders), causing a fantasy world creation which is then interpreted by UFO researchers as of alien abductions? We have challenged researchers to undertake detailed psychological testing of abductees to test if they are fantasy-prone, and also suggest the checking of their childhood for evidence of sexual abuse. I can supply some references for those interested in further reading on this topic. Comments would be welcome on this matter. -- Jim Speiser - via FidoNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: Jim.Speiser@f37.n114.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: eniac.seas.upenn.edu!snelson Subject: A peculiar dream Date: 4 Apr 91 06:30:29 GMT From: snelson@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (Steven Nelson) When I was young, I'm not certain precisely when, I had a very peculiar recurring dream: It was the fourth of July. We had set up fireworks in the backyard, and my father was holding some sort of barbacue. A number of obviously dream- like elements mark this as a dream. For example, a pig, which I had treated as a pet in the dream, was cooked, then came back to life. I crawled to a neighbor's yard-- a huge, grassy field. I saw flashing lights coming from the area, which I interpreted as fireworks. As I emerged from the clearing, I could see that the lights came from a huge UFO, which hovered over the clearing at approximately treetop level. It was bright and multicolored. Next I was rising in a beam of light. At the end of the light, there was a face. After so many years, I can't tell you what the face looked like, except that the skin was pale, perhaps grey, and the mouth was a slit. When I saw the face, I would always feel intense terror and wake up. The oddest part about this whole affair is that I'm CERTAIN that what I just described was a dream. None of the classic physical signs occurred: no disturbances in the grass, no peculiar wounds, no midnight nosebleeds, no notable periods of missing time. At the time, I was pretty sure that I had gotten it from watching 'Close Encounters' and seeing Star Trek. Would anyone care to tell me anything about my dream? What is, in your opinion, the likelihood that visitors abducted me? Or was I just scared by the fireworks? -Steve -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Linda.Bird@paranet.FIDONET.ORG (Linda Bird) Subject: Re: Continuum Date: 4 Apr 91 05:41:00 GMT Hello Clark! I'd bevery happy to receive THE CONTINUUM. My address: 1154 E. Palmcroft Tempe, AZ 85252 Are you still planning to put up that file on Moon Oddities, or is it just that I haven't seen it yet? The March MUFON UFO Journal (which just came 2 days ago) is excellent, BTW, if you happen to subscribe. Has an article that presents a new angle on some "crop circles" in Canada; and an article, quite lengthy, on an alleged witness to a saucer crash in New Mexico in 1947 - ties in with Roswell. Don't let the snow get you down. We were at 91 degrees today! Bye!
