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 …
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.
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?
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?
