Hope this helps you with your struggle.

"500 years ago demons haunted our world, and incubi and succubi tormented their victims as they
lay asleep in their beds. 200 years ago spirits of the departed made bedside visits. More re-
cently green and grey aliens began to molest people in their sleep. What is going on here? Are
these mysterious visitors in our world or in our minds?

They are in our minds. All experience is mediated by the brain, which consists of about a hundred billion neurons with a thousand trillion synaptic connections between them. No wonder the brain is capable of such sublime ideas as evolution and big bang cosmology.


But it also means that under a variety of conditions the brain is capable of generating extraordinary experiences that are not real."
