Are Alien Abductions Simply the Result of Lucid Dreams?
Could some alien abduction encounters actually be lucid dreams? The latest research on the phenomenon in a new report out of Russia hints at just that. Researchers at The Phase Research Center in Russia sought to find out in a new study recently published in the International Journal of Dream Research.
A lucid dream is a dream where the person knows they are dreaming while they are still in the dream. In the study, 152 volunteers of experienced lucid dreamers were prompted to experience aliens and UFOs in their lucid dreams—of those, 75 percent had alien and UFO encounters in a lucid dream, 61 percent said they had encountered alien-like creatures, and 28 percent said they encountered UFOs.
For the lead researcher and founder of The Phase Research Center, Michael Raduga, there was a personal connection to this study.
“It happened more than 20 years ago, I believed I experienced a typical alien abduction story; I was abducted,” he said. “It happened upon awaking, with sleep paralysis, with a lot of fear, levitating, and so on. And I believed in this for two years, but then I started to practice lucid dreams and out-of-body travels, and it helped me to understand that all the time I was experiencing the same thing.”

Were Recent Radio Signals From Proxima Centauri Evidence of Alien Life?
The mystery signal from space… what was actually broadcast from Proxima Centauri?
In December 2020, news broke of a mysterious signal coming from the area of Proxima Centauri. Ufologists and astronomers were excited by the news as the planet Proxima B may be able to host life. The signal was originally detected in the spring of 2019 by the Breakthrough Listen Project using the Parkes Telescope in Australia. But the significance of what they found was only recently made public.
But what was so intriguing about this transmission?
