   I believe you're accurately reporting what you perceive.  My question goes to   
   this point:  are you accurately perceiving what you are self-programming, or   
   are you inaccurately perceiving a symbol of something or someone else?   
      
   Example:   
     You tell yourself "I want to experience contact with another race" -- so   
   your mind creates another race and presents it to you, which you accurately   
   report.   
     Now compare this to:  "I want to experience contact with another race" -- so   
   any *human* contact you have in reality is being perceived as contact with an   
   alien.   
      
   Observation:   
     My holy grail of OOBEs is to float above my body, see my body, my room, and   
   my entire surrounding environment in perfect astral light.  That is, I want to   
   achieve an OOBE state that is a perfect transmission of perception to mind,   
   with perception being    
   the perception of *this* plane of physical reality.  In over 30 years of   
   practice, I've yet to achieve a satisfactory level of 100% astral control.   
      
   Suggestion:   
   I figure that if/when I can achieve a "perfect float" that tells me I am, in   
   fact, in complete and accurate connection and control of my astral body,   
   *then* I will be able to trust anything perceived from an astral / dream   
   form.  So although you're    
   achieving success with aliens, I would suggest you work on perfect control of   
   *existing* reality before moving on to alternative ones.   
      
   Reasoning:   
   I've found over the years that my dreams / visions / experiences are *largely*   
   predictive.  For example, two recent visions (in the past 2 years) of a Giant   
   Buddha holding in a pinched manner the tail of a jumbo passenger jet *twice*   
   has resulted in    
   subsequent reports in the news media of crashed Malaysian jets.  They're not   
   clearly cause and effect, but the imagery is clearly correlative.   
   An astral experience once put me in the position of female's body about to   
   give birth--I could FEEL something like a bowling ball about to "break"   
   directly between my legs.  Later that day, my sister gave birth a few weeks   
   earlier than expected.  These    
   are but two of countless examples; my point is, be sure to look for   
   "analogies" where your experience with an "alien" may in fact be a correlation   
   to an experience later that day with someone who "believes" in aliens.  It's   
   called "astral masquerade" --    
   where a person appears cloaked in the representation of an idea being   
   discussed.  If someone believed in Pixies and Fairies, for example, they would   
   encounter each other in dreams *as* pixies or fairies.  So my suggestion,   
   again, is to seek perfect    
   clarity in reality *before* seeking the far-out variations of reality.  Either   
   way, good luck.
