Telepathy & Predictions
Telepathy and other such phenomena, like predictions and remote viewing, have long been subjects of conversations among those who have had a dream about something before it happened or knew something that was going on at the moment it was happening. In the book There Are No Accidents: Synchronicity And The Stories Of Our Lives (1997) by Robert H. Hopke, he says, “Besides dreams which coincide with subsequent events in a synchronistic way, any dreams seem to disclose not just what will be but what is in ways that are impossible to know through normal sensory experience. The word most people would use, ‘extrasensory,’ is the simplest description for such dreams.” He says in another section of his book, “I have had clients report dreams with any number of details about my personal life that they could not possibly have known and which I certainly never revealed to them. One woman dreamed that it was my birthday when in fact it was my birthday. Another repeatedly dreamed of the number 909, which is my unlisted home address.” These are good examples of remote viewing dreams, or knowing what is presently happening.
Dreams of events that come true in physical reality are thought by many to be synchronistic dreams, dreams in which the story is told before the identical outer story. Some people think that it takes great talent or natural ability to be able to have telepathic or predictive dreams. Jeremy Taylor disagrees in his book Where People Fly And Water Runs Uphill (1992), and says, “Transmission’ or ‘talent’ have virtually nothing to do with it. Everyone is born with an undeveloped potential for intuitive expression. My experience is that telepathic connections are formed of deep feeling and emotion. The strength of emotional association determines who will have telepathic communion with another person.” According to Taylor, only a deep emotional connection between two people is necessary for telepathic dreams to happen.
Bob Larson, an advocate against metaphysical concepts and ideas, says in his book Straight Answers On The New Age (1989), “Those who believe in dreams provide access to psychic powers and are a means of guiding the future venture into the territory of divination, which God has forbidden.” Larson goes on to say that playing with these deeper forces of the self are not allowed because these are the realms of God, in which we should not tread because we do not understand them and could invite evil forces upon ourselves.
