Nice to have you and your wife in the ranks of spicenauts.

You guys seem like you have all the prerequisites for conscientious and profound explorations.  Kudos on being able to break through the first time out, and succeed in your first extraction attempt.

Like you, I am intrigued by how similar many people's experiences are irrespective of culture and psychology.  It is utterly clear that (at least during the journey), many people are convinced that the beings they meet could not possibly be projections of their own limited conscious mind... and not likely to even be archetypes of their subconscious.  Back in their normal baseline state, it can be easier to write off the experiences or deny the ramifications of them... most people only remember a tiny fraction of what they experience anyway. 

At least until the next time they get back to that same level of hyperspace... and even then.  :roll:

Anyway, nice trip report.  No one can be prepared for that first breakthrough. 

I am sure you guys will achieve remarkable things in time... if you need any more assistance on your journeys, you already know where to come.

Blessings
