Your personal experience is fine for you, but no where near adequate for any other rational person. And you missing tooth is only evidence if we believe in your experience.

We may believe that you are totally sincere in you belief that you're memory of the experience is accurate, but that doesn't mean we believe it really is an accurate memory.

Completely understandable. I am in no way trying to push my beliefs on you. And like I've said numerous times, if it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't believe it either. The fact that my wife and I both shared the same experience only cements it into my mind that it was not a dream (that, and the bloody toothless part). I have no incentive or motivation to lie. I realize how insane and crazy it sounds, and I know that I sound like a raving madman, but it is what it is. I can't expect anyone to believe such a thing based solely on one's word. If the tables were turned, I probably wouldn't believe me either.

That was a very good read. And I'm sorry about your wife.
As you already understand, it isn't enough for me to change my views based off of.

I understand, I was just putting my account out there. Hopefully it can help others to not feel vilified and help to validate their similar experiences. Like I said, if it hadn't happened to me I probably wouldn't believe it either.
