PSYCHIC DREAMS

skip down to the dreams!
LARGE LIST--PATIENCE!

Rather than argue whether extrasensory perception is real or not, I just collect examples of possible psychic dreams, sticking to data and ignoring theory. So with that in mind:

If you're working alone, the easiest sort of psychic dream to look for is precognition (predictive dreams). A detailed journal is the key here, and not just of dreams: where you go and who you meet, what books you read and shows you see.

While the classic Rhine cards use to test ESP are normally employed with a tester and a subject, you can test and practice ESP alone, by guessing at face-down playing cards and the like. I find (again, I'm not proposing a theory to explain it, just reporting data) that a busy, agitated mind pretty much guarantees near-random scores; a still mind picks up odd impressions (with a distinctive feel to them) that push scores above random. Strong feelings, unlike thoughts, don't necessarily interfere; though they can generate runs of LOW scores as well as high! (See RHINE CHECKERS).

An interesting variant of these psychic calisthenics, a variant that tests for a subtle form of telekinesis, is to try to influence the "random" hands dealt in computer games such as solitaire. Hey, if you're wasting work time anyway, why not?

If you have friends who are into dreams or you belong to a dream-group, then telepathic or shared dreams become practical to track. Be warned: in my experience it's not that difficult to uncover apparent telepathic or shared dreams, but it can be QUITE hard to cope with the emotions they stir up. Even dreamers who think they can handle it may have eruptions of fear, loathing, disorientation, guilt, panic, stony denial. Shared dreams can feel like a boundary violation even if asked for. And predictive dreams can bring up fears of predestination and lack of free will.

I'm convinced these fears are cultural brainwashing--after all, if your sleeping mind can handle ESP without flipping out, surely you can while awake, too! But in practice, it's stressful. That stress, I believe, is the real reason parapsychology is still generally looked down on as pseudoscience. It's not THAT hard to set up experiments. It IS hard to deal with results that not only violate the known laws of physics but are deeply upsetting on a personal level. A lot of us don't really want to live in a magical world, with the lack of privacy it implies; we're motivated to deny evidence that we do. Keep that in mind as you consider these dreams! They have their own concerns; they're not necessarily out to smash your worldview. Necessarily.

RELATED TOPICS: precognition and prediction - telepathic and shared dreams - It's hard to separate out clairvoyance (far viewing) from other categories without controlled experiments, so there's no separate list - ESP and psychics in society and daily life: effects on personality structure (like boundaries), coping emotionally, denial, social prejudice, etc - subliminal dreams, non-psychic but picking interesting subtleties from the waking world - pseudo-psychic dreams in which the confirmation of a psychic dream turns out to be a dream too! - dreamwork and dream research in general - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
