There is a HUGE difference between Flying Saucers(or:M.O.C)in Europe
and in the United-States.
In Europe we have nearly no reports of the so-called "abductions".
The reason is essentially cultural because "abductions" have been
created by a money oriented society which sells anything which can be
swallowed by millions of gullible Americans.
There are many scientific reasons which preclude such things as
abductions by ETI(Extraterrestrials)but these reasons are too complex
to discuss here and,whatever their rationality,they would not convince
the purported "abductees" to believe in their fairy tales anyhow.
Succubus and incubus have been the historical ancestors of modern days
"abductees".
The first scientist who suggested that many of the
"close-encounters",etc,with M.O.C were related to dream and sleep was
astrophysicist Dr Jean-Pierre Guérin of the Institut
d'Astrophysique,boulevard Arago,Paris,France,in the I970's.
As a proficient "conscious dreamer" I have been able to observe,in
states which are intermediates between the waking state and
sleep,consciouness states which could,easily,be misinterpreted by
laymen full of Flying Saucers ideas in their head as anything
extraordinary.
Such states of consciousness involve the blockade of motor efferents
with a partial awakening.
When we sleep and dream our CNS blocks motor efferents so we are
prevented to experience what we experience in the
dream(endoreality)within exoreality.
For example,if I am walking in a dream the motor zones of my CNS which
activate my legs are as fully active as if I were awake.
To prevent me from walking while sleeping(a potentially catastrophic
thing!)evolution has invented a neural mechanism(which I call the
S.B.E.M)which blocks motor efferents.
This has been well studied and delineated by the famous sleep
researcher,Dr Jouvet,in Lyon,France.
It happens,sometimes,that we wake up while the SBEM is still active
and not disconnected.
The result of this is that we regain a complete or more or less
complete awareness of reality while we are completely paralysed in our
bed!
This experience is often anxiogenic.
For example I can "wake up" while still feeling paralysed and
experience auditory or visual dream hallucinations related to my fear.
For example once I walked up but still was paralysed and I "heard"
"someone" opening my door and I could feel the "presence" of the
"intruder" just next to the door(typical oneiric experience,by the
way!).
As I was not totally awake I was convinced someone had opened the door
and would come to us(my wife and I)to harm us.
So I shouted in the dream because I knew I was paralysed and I wanted
to totally wake up.
My voice could nearly not go out as I felt my mouth also paralysed.
Then,finally,I woke up!
And,of course,nobody had entered our appartment!
It was only a half-dream.
When you are in this kind of state the fear
brings,AUTOMATICALLY,memories of what you fear...
So if you are ruminating about M.O.C then you might very well dream
your flying saucer and its ETI !!!
It is as simple as that.
What has made this sleep phenomenon an irrational debacle is the
generally low level of education of average citizens in the
US,combined with a high degree of gullibility and naivete,all this
flavoured with these stupid histories of "ufonauts" tales,books,etc.
Certainly if the media would have not publicised this
misinterpretation and fuel it with absolutey grotesque movies,such as
the "X-Files",and similar series made for 7 years old kids,then we
would not have this "abduction" hysteria in the US !
We do not have "abductions" in France or nearly none!
Why?
Not because the ETI like to abduct US citizens and not French but
because our culture is different,less hollywoodian,more on the
Earth...
French are more down to earth,less gullible,and not so much prone to
mass hysteria!
So,M.O.C,that is Flying Saucers,do not come and "abduct" French while
they sleep!!!!
