I can vouch fully for the 'reality' of lucid dreaming, and have no
problem _whatsoever_ with the theory that it's behind most abduction
cases, especially with the obvious pointers of 'being paralysed' and
somehow waking up 'miraculously' back in bed.

I don't agree. Wierd shit HAPPENS, of that there is no doubt. There is a
_lot_ of inexplicable and scary stuff going on out there, but abductions
(IMHO) are not one of them. As for UFO's, close encounters etc, I'd
wager 99 percent of these are explainable...

....but the scary thing are the 1 percent that seem to defy all rational
explanation.
