Telepathy
Since we all fill out, according to the esoteric teachings and traditions, into at least five sheaths, or multi-dimensional "bodies", we do not have to become isolated to three dimensional Earth communication by way of the 5 senses. These multi-dimensional bodies - astral and beyond - provide access to data way beyond the norm. Dream Telepathy is a fact in such teachings, but because Science cannot grasp or prove it, it discredits the phenomenon. Things may be changing, at least in the way Science wants almost to believe, according to some of the studies coming into being.
It is said that some of the conditions that lend towards successful telepathic dreams are that of Love, sensitivity, and belief in the happening of them. This writer, having two mystical Masters, or Gurus, has frequently conversed with them in dreams. On the third of November 2004, I shook (two handed) one of these guy's hands in the early hours of the morning. On phoning up a friend, I was told that he has just arrived in Australia from the USA, to do some workshops and dialogues. Such long distance greetings are most wonderful, without the need for a telephone, so Telstra and the like should beware of the future. Our own human network (wireless and free) is a valid proposition for our future.
Alan Vaughan, one of the authors of the book in the reading list Books to read. is interesting. He watched one of his favourite writers, Kurt Vonnegut, Jnr., on a television talk show one night, and had a dream about him 2 nights later. He wrote about the dream to Vonnegut on March 13, 1970. "....you appeared in a dream I had this morning. We were in a house full of children. You were planning to leave soon on a trip. Then you mentioned that you were moving to an island named Jerome. (As far as I know there is no such place, so perhaps the name Jerome or initial "J" has some related meaning.)" Vonnegut's answer was dated 28 March 1970. "Not bad. On the night of your dream, I had dinner with Jerome B. [an author of children's books], and we talked about a trip I made three days later to an island named England."
I will become clear to those researching dream telepathy in the average everyday experience, that the personal filters or belief system of the individual dreamer of the conversation or experience will colour them, or there will be, as in the above, some discrepancy. There is also some overlap from pre-cognitive dreams in classification, as indicative of this famous dream by Charles Dickens -
"I dreamed that I saw a lady in a red shawl, with her back towards me........on her turning around, I found that I didn't know her and she said "I am Miss Napier". At the time I was dressing next morning, I thought - what a preposterous thing to have such a distinct dream about nothing! and why Miss Napier? For I have never heard of any Miss Napier. That same Friday night I read. After the reading, into my retiring-room came Miss Boyle and her brother, and the lady in the red shawl whom they present as Miss Napier".
So the question is, did Miss Napier sent a telepathic dream to Dickens, or did Dickens just have a pre-cognitive dream. Perhaps a mixture of both?
In the 1960's, the Maimonides Medical Centre in Brooklyn set up a Dream Laboratory, and using technical staff and such devices like the encephalograph, so that brain waves could be recorded, experimented with dream telepathy. In such studies, it was necessary to bring an experimental subject to the lab in the evening to become familiar with the setting and with the procedure to be followed. The subject prepares for sleep, and electrodes are fastened to his scalp. He goes to sleep; he dreams - as is shown by the REM's and brain wave changes which go with the sleeping process. When the recording shows he has been dreaming, he is awakened. He tells what he has dreamed and gives free associations to what he has reported. A distant experimenter, nearly 100 feet away and beyond 3 closed doors, has been attempting to "transmit" an image of a randomly selected target, following a procedure which would exclude and possibility of the subject's normal knowledge of what was being sent to him to "receive". Within such general parameters, the "Second Erwin Study" with its multisensory array for transmission targets, gave statistical analysis demonstrating that dream telepathy was indeed occurring - with odds on the order of one thousand to one against chance.
