We now enter what Strassman refers to as the "invisible" realm or "unexpected territory," some aspects of which left him "confused and concerned....baffled and nonplussed by the sheer volume and bizarre nature of [the] reports."
While he would dearly love to have written them off as dreams or hallucinations he was eventually convinced that they in fact represented "freestanding, independent levels of existence."
And his subjects would probably agree because they would preface their reports with statements such as, "This was not a dream," or "I couldn't have made it up if I wanted to." Others said things like, "...it was a total surprise!....All I could do was observe it;" or "This is real...It's totally unexpected, quite constant and objective....It's an independent constant reality."
