At the Stargate Conference, Anne Strieber told how people
who have had contact with seeming "aliens" usually describe
their experiences in strange, almost surrealistic terms. This
one of the things that separates real contact from created
contact stories, but it is also one of the primary reasons that
these people's stories are doubted by skeptics. Now
neurologists have uncovered a reason for this high
strangeness: It may be preparing us to act for a more logical
future (perhaps battles against things like global warming and
nuclear arms, that could spell the end of our species).

Physorg.com quotes researcher Travis Proulx as saying, "The
idea is that when you're exposed to a meaning threat,
something that fundamentally does not make sense, your
brain is going to respond by looking for some other kind of
structure within your environment." In other words, it
exercises your brain by forcing you to
put the
pieces together. This type of experience may cause our
brains to see patterns we would otherwise miss, not only in
math, but
in the world at large.
In October 5th edition of the New York Times, Benedict Carey
quotes psychologist Travis Proulx as saying, "We're so
motivated to get rid of that feeling that we look for meaning
and coherence elsewhere. We channel the feeling into some
other project, and it appears to improve some kinds of
learning."
