Question:

I have had dreams of UFOs and aliens. The dreams are usually cool but some freak me. I am sometimes afraid to see an alien picture or photograph. It freaks me. I would like to know what you think.

Answer:

Did you take our Alien Abduction survey? Based on your question, our guess is that you probably answered "yes" to at least half of the survey questions. Your question is similar to that of many people who are beginning to realize they have an abduction history to explore. People dream about situations or fears with which they are familiar. While everyone has unusual dreams, people who have not been abducted do not dream about aliens or UFOs.

Another abduction indicator is a fear or uneasiness when looking at pictures or photographs of UFOs or aliens. The reason for the fear is simple. The pictures serve as reminders of buried memories. Behavioral psychologists refer to objects which provide the stimulus for remembering as a metaphorical extension. For abductees, pictures or photographs of UFOs or aliens serve as the objects which stimulate the recall of a buried abduction memory.

Many people have jarred buried memories loose by looking at such pictures of alien faces. The alien face on Whitley Strieber's book "Communion" is credited with helping many people realize they have an abduction history. As time passes, you may find the dreams intensify -- or that your ability to remember becomes more profound.
