Why did she have a panic attack seeing the drawing of an alien Grey on the cover of Whitley Strieber’s book, Communion, about alien abductions?

This was a visceral reaction mounted through the emotions by the deep subconscious mind recognizing a portrait of the enemy, so to speak, because of its deep inner fear and revulsion for the extraterrestrials who have manipulated her. This was the best it could do to sound a warning, being disconnected from conscious awareness, and is typical of the legacy of humans being corrupted to be dysfunctional in this regard. While one of their best sources of information, the deep subconscious, is quite handicapped by the disconnect, so what it sees in the akashic records cannot be reflected on and analyzed by the higher faculties and put into any kind of perspective. So the deep subconscious is entirely on its own trying to protect itself without the cooperation and even awareness of the conscious level of the mind.
