A further question concerns whether gap-provoking is more characteristic of talking about spirituality than talking about other experiences. This chapter describes a study in which twenty people provided written accounts of a travel experience, a dream and a spiritual encounter. When the frequencies of the various devices were counted, the spiritual accounts used significantly more gap-provoking devices than either travel or dream accounts: they were twice more likely to use gap-shifts and around three times more likely to use metaphors and binary opposition marking. The use of sequential gaps was also more pronounced in the spiritual accounts.
