Some follow-up comments
I presume this was from Jed, though I have not received the actual
post:
If I wake up remembering an encounter with a six foot tall ant, I
immediately conclude it was a dream. However, if, when I awake,
I have
someone at my shoulder telling me it might really have happened,
then I
won't immediately conclude it was a dream, eh? And what happens
next?
Hmmm....
Actually that was me.
I have to say I have found the things you and Ed have been saying to
be
extremely interesting.
As Ed seems to have guessed, I'm kind of a pathological skeptic in
this
area, as well as certain other areas which come up now and then (and
which I try to avoid commenting on) but the statements I've been
seeing
here have got me thinking seriously about this.
Perhaps ... I should look into this a bit farther. After all, I could
be wrong...
I wonder if any of the seminal works on this are available in
Mobipocket
format? I'll look around; that's always a painless way to add yet
another book to the queue of things I read bits of now and again.
I suggest you read "UFOs & Abductions", which is a collection of
articles edited by Jacobs. It gives a good overview of modern
thinking on the subject.
