While the evidence is largely ancedotal, as she states, there was some physical trace evidence she documented as it occured. If you have any desire to understand the phenomena at all, then her unique perspective is a look inside the experience.
That the phenomena is real is undeniable, estimates are that four million people are affected in some way.

Bart, if I had a “dream” about being abducted by aliens, and if I woke up with strange marks on my body that I couldn’t explain, I’d call 911 and report it to the police and the local hospital. I’d photograph the marks and paste them all over the internet. I visit my dermatologist to see if she could figure out what caused the marks. I’d ask my doctor for a CAT scan. If it happened a second time, I’d call a press conference and notify all the media. I’d ask that anyone else who had had the same experience to come forward and call the police and the media.
If our doctors found anything unusual, indicating something other than a self-inflicted wound, they would notify the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, the FDA in Washington, and the state health department. If several other unrelated people had the same marks and the same experience, the CDC, the FDA, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Defense would immediately form task forces and send teams of investigators over to our houses to investigate the situation. The media would be setting up their satellite trucks in all our neighborhoods.
If 4 million Americans were having this same experience, the President would declare a National Emergency like what was done during the anthrax crisis several years ago. The National Guard would be called out. The US Army would be guarding all of our Canadian and Mexican borders. NORAD would be put on Red Alert. Doctors and scientists would be flying in from all over the world to try to find out what’s going on.
This type of “strange medical crisis” occasionally does happen, such as with the bird flu scare in Canada a couple of years ago, the hantavirus scare in the Southwest several years ago, and the anthrax scare up in NY and DC back around 2001.
There is another medical crisis in this country that some people fall victim too, and it is called "paranoia". You need to look up paranoia on medical websites and read about it.
