A Strange UFO-Related Dream
Not Nick Redfern
Since Nick beat me to the punch on the “Best Evidence” review (I just received my copy today) I wanted to report a strange dream I had a couple of nights ago. In the dream, I met Nick in an outdoor setting. He was clothed in his standard uniform: black leather jacket, t-shirt, jeans, and high-top sneakers. One thing that puzzled me about his physical appearance was that he had a full head of graying hair, reaching down past his shoulders. He stared ominously at me in a three-quarter profile and said one sentence: “Roswell was real.” I took this to mean that he had settled on the standard aliens-in-the-UFO scenario rather than the story in his gripping book, Body Snatchers In The Desert.
Turning away as my attention was directed elsewhere, Nick apparently did a quick change and when I looked back, he was smiling and back to his usual hairless self. At this point, he repudiated what he had just said and went back to his agnostic stance. Later in the dream, I explored a functioning laboratory on what was apparently an abandoned military base. That’s all I remember.
The hairy version of Nick may be due to the fact that I have been watching tapes of David Lynch’s old Twin Peaks TV show for the past week. “Bob,” (played by Frank Silva) the evil non-corporeal entity that possesses unsuspecting characters in the show has long, graying hair. Perhaps this symbolizes the evil that I believe is inherent in faith-based belief systems when it comes to the subject of UFOs. Interestingly, the program features a character who is an Air Force Major, and who worked on project Blue Book with another player in the story. It is intimated that some sort of contact with an evil force possessed this man while he investigated a UFO flap.
Interpret away, readers!

Gregg,
Thats an interesting dream. So what is the evil inherant in faith based systems when it comes to UFOs? Are you referring to the contactee movement or other faith systems?

Jess,
Perhaps I didn’t explain myself properly. I was engaging in a bit of hyperbole to make a point that I’ve repeated ad nauseum–we need less of the UFO believers and skeptics who operate from belief systems and more people who keep their intellectual options open. “Faith” clouds their discernment. Better that people “believe” in fighting the urge to come to conclusions on everything as quickly as possible.

You got your DVD today?
Holy mutilated cow, Batman - I take back all of the nasty things I’ve ever said about Canada Post (well, most of them…).
I look forward to your review, Greg.

Greg:
In hairier days (ie 1980s) I did have a thick mane. In fact, I sported a classic, long Johnny Ramone “bowl” until I was about 19. If I have photos left, I will dig out and post for amusement…
I was a big fan of Twin Peaks when it was broadcast in the UK back around (I think) 91 or 92.

OK, I had a wierd dream a few weeks back. One that actually explained how fear of UFOs and occupants could be circumvented (should the technology be available).
At the beginning of the dream a test subject was sent down to see how I would react. It was your typical Gray that scared the stuff out of me.
Taking note of this the aliens made themselves synthetic bodies to use (reminiscent of those featured in “Ghost In the Machine”). They made themselves attractive, too. After doing this, the aliens got together with US government to organize a big ticker-tape parade with the aliens and many famous Hollywood stars walking through the streets together.
The aliens the made the synthetic body technology available to us reguar humans. Suffice it to say that an awful lot of us (me included) jumped at the chance of what would be practical imortallity.
The rest of the dream showed the aliens out to be a regular bunch of practical jokers… at one point the alien friends I made trapped me in a room where they made my face look very weird and had a good old laugh about it before putting me right again

Greg, thanks for injecting the subject of DREAMS and TWIN PEAKS into UFO Mystic!
Which reminds me … I want to have you (and Nick - separately and together) back on my Blue Rose Report radioshow to talk UFOs and Twin Peaks … and dreams of course.

I too loved the Twin Peaks pic.
Dreams are weird.

Paul,
I’ll watch it in the next couple of days and post my take. Thanks for getting it to me.

Nick,
I was a huge fan of the show, and seeing it again with the things I’ve learned since then made it new all over again.
Post that “Ramones haircut” picture!

uv777bk,
Your dream shares a lot of ideas with Whitley Strieber’s “The Grays” book, which I am reading now.

Miles,
I don’t remember many of my dreams, so I thought that this one was somehow important. I’ll come on the show anytime!
