Etzel Cardeña; Steven Jay Lynn; Stanley Krippner, editors
This American Psychological Association volume surveys research on unusual subjective experiences including synesthesia, hallucinations, lucid dreams, out-of-body and near-death experiences, anomalous healing, mystical experience, psi reports, past-life reports, and alien-abduction narratives. It studies the experiences and evidence without assuming that every report shares one cause.
