Most "spiritual experiences" I have heard and read about are what normal people call "Dreams." The rest are either hallucinations or a misunderstanding of what actually happened (and of course some lies thrown in there too).

You will notice that the more religious a country is, the more claims there are of "spiritual experiences". Just like "alien abduction" stories all seem to happen in areas where the most people believe in them.
