Resumen de Abducted!
The article discusses how imaginary traumas can be indistinguishable from reality, and just as traumatic. When alien abductees recount to me their stories, I do not deny that they had a real experience. Thanks to recent research by Harvard University psychologists Richard J. McNally and Susan A. Clancy, we now know that some fantasies are indistinguishable from reality, and they can be just as traumatic. In his book "Remembering Trauma," McNally tracks the history of the recovered memory movement of the 1990s, in which some people, while attempting to recover lost memories of childhood sexual molestation (usually through hypnosis and guided imagery), instead created false memories of abuse that never happened. The most likely explanation for alien abductions is sleep paralysis and hypnopompic hallucinations. Temporary paralysis is often accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations and sexual fantasies.
