The other day I was at home and suddenly felt a wave of panic for no clear reason. I felt anxious and could not explain why. About twenty minutes later I received a call saying that my sister had been in a car accident. Thankfully she was not seriously hurt, but the timing felt strange. I continue to wonder whether it was #telepathy or more something like #precognition ? Can telepathy be physical, like in my case feeling it all over my body.. Has anyone …
Have you ever had a dream that later seemed to correspond with a real event? Many people report dreams that later appear to match real events. Sometimes this involves dreaming about a specific situation and then encountering something similar days or months later. Psychologists often suggest memory reconstruction. When a later event happens, people may reinterpret an earlier dream and remember it as more specific than it originally was. However, some researchers in parapsychology have also explored the idea of precognitive dreaming. One of the …
I like asking people this question as everybody has had different types of "introductions" to these experiences. For me, it personally started with a book I read (i can't remember the title anymore) a few years ago which was talking about auras and electromagnetic fields and all of a sudden I remember being able to see colors around people since I was a kid. And after practicing this for a few weeks, I started to see them again...
Most of the times I think about people, I happen to meet them or they text me. But even crazier story, yesterday, I suddenly thought about a girl I met like 20 years ago, I have never ever seen anymore in my life. I just remember her face as a kid and her first name. We have not spoken in YEARS and not kept in touch at all! Long story short, I was in London and I went to the most random cafe, I never …
This is something I find hard to pin down. In meditation or energy work, people talk about heat, pressure, tingling, movement, colours, all sorts of things. But the body can create sensations for lots of reasons.
How do people tell the difference between imagination, nervous system stuff, and something they would call energy?
If there was proper funding and no stigma around it, what would you want studied more carefully?
For me I think dreams and NDEs are probably the easiest place to start, because lots of people report them and you can at least collect patterns. But maybe telepathy or mediumship would be more interesting. Not sure.

A lot of unusual experiences seem to happen when people are children, or at least people remember them from childhood. I wonder how much of that is because kids are more open, and how much is because memory changes over time.
Would be interested to hear how people think about old memories without either dismissing them or accepting them too quickly.
I’m trying to separate the interesting stuff from the very overconfident stuff, if that makes sense. Precognition is one of those topics where people either dismiss it immediately or believe every story.
Are there any studies, books, or researchers worth looking at that don’t feel too sensational?
I’ve heard people describe lucid dreams where they know they are dreaming but the whole thing feels sharper than waking life, which is such a strange idea. Not just vivid, but stable and detailed.
If you’ve practiced lucid dreaming, what made the biggest difference? Reality checks, journaling, sleep schedule, or something else?
