ESP deals with additional sensory perception and therefore can get quite weird. If you’ve ever seen The Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis, having ESP is like having a sixth sense. Unlike prophetic dreams or warning dreams, ESP dreams do not emphasize the future, but rather the present and past moments that then play out in the future. These are some of the abilities that a person with ESP dreams could experience.
-Dreamer is able to read another person’s thoughts
-Dreams can receive messages or information from another person, living or dead.
-Dreamer is present unseen while moving through the barriers of space
-Dreamer relives an event that has already been taken in the past
-The dreamer feels the pain of another person
-Dreamer is another person who lives his experience
Here are some examples from the book, The Psychic Side of Dreams that describe people who have had ESP dreams. See if you can spot the image that symbolizes an external event taking place elsewhere outside of the dreamer’s consciousness, and see if you can relate to these ESP experiences from your own dreams as well.
Case Examples of ESP Dreams
1. “Mrs. JW of New Jersey had a dream experience which is included under this heading. In 1941 a very close friend of hers was serving aboard an oil tanker then based at Fort Pierce, Florida. The oil tanker was torpedoed by a German submarine while at sea and all but one of the crew perished, at which time Mrs. W. had a vivid dream in which she saw her friend trapped in her room, he was pounding on the door with his fist and she was able to notice a porcelain doorknob that he kept pressing. All the while he kept crying for her, calling her endearing name for her, over and over again. At this point, the dream ended. Several hours later, she was gone. notified that he had died in the attack on the tanker” (Holzer 102-103).
2. “Mrs. Catherine H. is a homemaker in her early forties living in Pennsylvania. Her entire family, consisting of her husband and three daughters, are extremely telepathic, so she has no problem being recognized in this area. He has had precognitive dreams for many years, in fact, he says, too numerous to list. ‘I have precognitive dreams that are separated from the rest by the presence of the color green somewhere in the dream,’ he explains. A particularly impressive dream she told me about it under the postmark of February 8, 1971. In the dream she saw green mountains, and several trucks sinking into a black mud that covered the whole mountain, she saw the trucks and suddenly she found herself trapped very deep under the trucks and something made of wood. She screamed until she almost lost her voice, at that moment someone called her warning her that she would lose her voice, that was the end of the dream.
Two weeks later, the great tragedy in Aberfan, Great Britain, shook the world: a coal slag slide buried a school and killed many children. The newspaper story, which came into the hands of Mrs. H. two weeks after her dream, relates, among other harrowing experiences, that a worker heard a girl scream because she was trapped under her rubber. The worker yelled at the girl to stop yelling and asked her name, to which she replied, Catalina” (Holzer 104-105).
3. “An interesting retrocognitive dream incident occurred to Claudia Cunningham of Pennsylvania, who is an artist by profession.
A friend, Mrs. Emma Black owned a farm in eastern Pennsylvania which she had made available to visiting artists as a guest house. Not long ago Miss Cunningham stayed there for a few days. That particular week there were six women in the boarding house, two to a room. Miss Cunningham’s roommate had gone to the big bedroom across the hall to play cards with the others who weren’t quite ready for bed yet. They talked and laughed as Miss Cunningham undressed and opened the window beside her bed. She set the alarm clock and went to bed. As she began to relax, ready to fall asleep, she still heard the voices from across the hall. On the threshold of sleep, she saw superimposed on the room in which she lay was an older room, shabbier, with stained wallpaper, poorly furnished, and drab. A woman was sitting in an upright chair, leaning her arms against the windowsill. She had long dark hair that fell to her shoulders and she cried heartbroken. Miss Cunningham could hear her sobs over the fainter sounds of chatter in the other room. Then there was the sound of feet running down the stairs and the back door slamming. Gradually the woman in the room vanished, leaving only Miss Cunningham’s room. The sound of the voices of the other guests through the hall increased to the usual level. At that moment, Miss Cunningham fell into a deep sleep, still wondering about her experience.
The next morning at breakfast, he discussed his experience with his hostess and the others. Lady. Black confirmed the fact that the room in which Miss Cunningham had slept had belonged to a dark-haired woman she had described, and that the woman was greatly aggrieved by a retarded child. However, the woman in question was still very much alive and lived nearby” (Holzer 110-111).
In the first dream, Mrs. J.W felt the last calls before her friend’s death while dreaming. When she woke up, she discovered that her friend had been killed in the tanker attack. Is it possible, that perhaps through ESP dreams, we can hear voices of other people who are in the highest moments of pain like being trapped before dying? Is it possible that before death, one can call a sleeping loved one from miles away? Here are some possibilities that should be considered when dealing with ESP.
Consequently, in the second dream, Catherine had dreamed of being trapped under trucks and wood, screaming, while someone else warned her that she would lose her voice. She later discovered that a child was trapped under her rubble and a worker yelled at her to stop yelling. The girl’s name was Catherine. In this dream, the dreamer, Catalina, was able to feel the pain of a person in danger before the event itself actually happened. She not only felt the pain, but she became the person who was going through the tragic experience. Another thing to take into account was the color of the mountains: green, which symbolizes that this dream for her would happen in the future. This raises another question: can ESP dreams allow our souls to enter other people’s souls and feel their inner bodily experiences, and what kind of symbols are meant to make dreams come true?
Finally, in the third dream, Mrs. Emma Black was able to dream of the women with long dark hair hanging over her shoulder, crying. What she was able to do in her dream was to relive a scene from the past in the same room in the house. Perhaps there are certain places in the world that allow us to dream of those places, where something tragic has happened there. Would you like to have a dream reliving a scene from someone else’s past? I know you wouldn’t… the thought gives me chills.
However, what is interesting about these ESP dreams is how time works. In dream 1, the dreamer was able to feel another person’s call at the same time it was happening. In dream 2, the dreamer could hear the scream of a girl, 2 weeks before it happened. In dream 3, the dreamer was able to see the woman in the chair after it had already happened. Unlike prophecy dreams, there is no limit to when an event can occur once it is happening at the time of the dream.
However, ESP dreams are a fascinating topic, as they give us insight into potential abilities that go beyond ordinary everyday experiences. Believe it or not, the mother thought that these types of dreams can allow us to receive messages from other people, relive an event in the past, or live the experience of another person in the moment, finding out more about this psychic. dream side. In the next post, we’ll talk more about the possibility of drifting from one place to another, called out-of-body dreams.
