There are several must-read books about precognitive dreams, which I will review briefly below. John William Dunne, An experiment with time, 1927 Dunne (1875-1949) was a British aeronautical engineer who made several innovative aircraft designs; nevertheless, he became famous not for them but for his philosophical books and especially for "An experiment with time". The title of the book refers to an experiment that consists of keeping records of dreams and looking for correlations between them and subsequent events. He describes and analyzes with the pedanticism of a scientist a number of amazing coincidences between dreams and real posterior events, and proposes a theory to explain them. That theory, called serialism, suggests that there are multiple nested universes, having different timelines and while our brains inhabit only one of them, our consciousness can travel among them, thus obtaining information from different timelines. Serialism has had a great repercussion a...

The idea of creating registries to record multiple premonitions before they come true is probably centuries old. In the last 50 years or so, at least ten such registries have been created but none of them has gained much popularity and currently only one of them is active.  BRITISH PREMONITIONS BUREAU (Dr. John Barker) In 1967, English psychiatrist Dr. John Barker established that registry following a carbon avalanche in Welsh village Aberfan that had killed over 130, mostly children while studying in the local school and the reports of many people that they or their children had foreseen the accident. Barker recollected hundreds of premonitions, in the form of letters, 24 of which really impressed him and he published them in a parapsychology journal [John C. Barker, “Premonitions of the Aberfan Disaster,” Journal of the Society of Psychical Research, 44 (1967): 169–181].      CENTRAL PREMONITION REGISTRY (Robert Nelson) This registry was ...

Blindfold viewing, mindsight, eyeless sight, seeing without eyes: seeing one’s immediate surroundings without using one’s eyes. This can be considered as a form of OBE without the sensation of leaving the body. An old and misleading term for the same phenomenon is dermo-optical vision. Clairaudience : the supposed faculty of perceiving, as if by hearing, what is inaudible. Clairaudient : derived adjective. Clairsentience:  perception of what is not normally perceptible. Clairvoyance : the faculty of perceiving things or events independently on distance and time spacing. Cognition : the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses. Controlled remote viewing  ( CRV ): A remote viewing protocol developed by Stanford Research Institute as an intelligence-gathering method for CIA, DIA, and a number of other US governmental organizations. The protocol involves the perception of all sorts of sensory inf...
