This paper summarized the findings obtained by reexamination of the early Ganzfeld experiments, with special interests in the dynamic relation between 'external world' and 'self'. Subjects were exposed to chromatic Ganzfeld (red, green, blue) and required to give verbal reoports on their experiences. Fade-out and desaturation were remarkable for red-light condition, as compared with green and blue conditions. Interestingly, in the red condition, a typical sequence of phenomena occurred as for the spatiality. Solid concave surface of the screen soon became ambiguous, and the surfaceness was lost, where subjects gave their impression as "something red" and the like. The "something" approached them, came to contact with their eyes, and finally got into their head. At this stage, boudary between 'external world' and 'self' (internal world) was lost. Subjects were not sure of their perception, which was expessed like "not confident of looking out at the world" or "no feeling of being surrounded by external world". Also, concurrent state of perception and emotion was experienced in this situation. Subjects frequently reported "fear of being invaded by something" or "disgust of being touched by red". It indicates pre-differentiation of perception from emotion, and these findings lead us to an approach to the underlying mechanism of spatial phobia.
