paradox there, but you know in a dream it's easy to feel stufflike that. This woman said they were harvesting eggs-or I got that from the conversation-that they were taking eggs from my sisters. And somehow from the conversation I knew they had taken something from me, and it was half of whatever it was I had. She said itwouldn't hurt me. And IJ asked, well, what about later on if] want to have kids? And she didn't sayanything. Then the next thing I remember in that dream was that Isaw this pray- ing mantis-type thing again. That was all he could remember about that dream. He then reported three others that were strange, but Idid not think them sug- gestive ofreal UFO or alien encounters. I agreed to check them all out during the session. He thought these dreams were significant because they started after our first session, and they were not the type he normally had. Often when exploration ofthis type begins and the door to the pasthas been opened, memories will sneak through the barrier in the form of dreams. I had been working with UFO abduction cases and I saw a pattern emerging. The different subjects thought they had had an isolated incident, but under hypnotic investigation itwas often discovered that they had experiences going back to childhood. For some reason the age around puberty was significant, and many people reported inci- dents around that age that had been blocked from their memory. As I prepared for this session I was hoping to discover some other encounters Phil might have had ata younger age. Maybe these would tie in with these dreams he had been having since our last session. ButI also hoped we would not encounter anything that would disturb him as much as the last time when the door was first opened into this hidden portion ofhis life. I used the keyword and our normal procedure. Each time the elevator door opened I never knew what Phil would see, but I was always able to proceed from wherever the scene began. This time instead of going to the three spires or any of the other familiar loca- tions, he was seeing a scene from his childhood. Without being directed to do so he had returned to an earlier encounter. It was as though his subconscious thought it was time for him to remember, and had selected that incident for him to view. Itwas 965 when Phil was l0years old. He was standing in a field behind his house during the daytime watching a strange object. Discovery of Earlier Contacts 231
