Unraveling the Mystery of Alien Abduction

So, did anyone see the Discovery Channel special, Unraveling the Mystery of Alien Abduction? A great program. Most of it, however, they seemed to attribute to the phenomenon of sleep paralysis, to which I would concur. Okay, so I don't specifically give much credence to aliens. And yet, I don't give much credence to the notion that it's simply the by-product of an over-active imagination. I've had enough of my own sleep paralysis "encounters," to know that there's more to it than that. In fact, there were one or two "enlightened folks" towards the end of the program, that made comments similar to my own take on the idea below ...

Sleep Paralysis ... The Spiritual World

The Greek gods were "real" too. They exist as part of our collective unconscious, and exist in another dimension which, we come in contact with when we begin to dream. Ever experience a lucid dream? The "entities" that we experience in our dreams are just as real as the "entity" that they experience as "us." In other words, who is dreaming of whom? Could it be that this is a "collective experience" and, we have in fact entered a continuum (where other "spirits dwell"), in what we would otherwise call the "spiritual world?" So, that when we experience sleep paralysis, the "portal" of the mind remains open, and we become subject to these monsters (or, demons if you will) which exist as part of the "collective id?"
