    In the land of Dreaming Woo!

    In this thread, we discuss two very specific dream related woo phenomena not yet accepted by Skeptics on this forum. Those two woo factor experiences are: 1.) Déjà Rêvé other wise known as Precognitive Dreams. 2.) Shared Dreaming otherwise known as Mutual Dreaming. And that's pretty much it...

    Daryl J. Bem - Feeling the Future (J. Personality & Social Psych)

    http://dbem.ws/FeelingFuture.pdf Author's other pubs: http://dbem.ws/pubs.html Quoting from the PDF: Read (first) and discuss. Perhaps he should be proactively contacted by JREF to discuss a prize challenge? It's published (peer-reviewed, even) and the effects they claim certainly seem...

    Alex Tsakiris and the Skeptiko Podcast - CRITICAL LOOK AND OVERVIEW.

    Ok, I think Skeptiko has gone too far and too long without a good public critical analysis. I'm confident that there are many people who take Alex and the extraordinary claims presented in the show very seriously. http://www.skeptiko.com/ For those who don't know, Skeptiko is a podcast that...

    Simulating "Presentiment" Experiments

    A series of experiments by Dean Radin and others purport to show that the human mind reacted precognitively to stimuli. The basic design of these experiments is that people are shown, in a random order, a series of photographs - some provoking a strong emotional reaction, some not. Skin...

    What Paranormal Power Would You Choose?

    Thanks to this thread, I wondered what kind of paranormal power people would choose to have if paranormal power actually existed. (May have been done before, bad luck.) Personally, I'm going to have to think about it. Telekinesis appeals, but... Carrie. Telepathy appealed momentarily, but do I...

    I had a precognitive dream

    I woke up yesterday morning with an odd memory from the night before. I distinctly remember seeing my flatmate open my door and walk into my room while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner. Even though the memory was so clear and definite - I knew that it could not have happened because: 1...

    I'm seriously freaked out.

    Hi guys. I have something I need to talk about. My best friend, who has claimed to have had some psychic ability (which I haven't really believed in) has told me in the past that she has had a feeling that she will die in a car wreck. I brushed this off. Then I was talking with a mutual...

    "Many Scientists are Convinced that Man Can See the Future"

    http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/925987/many_scientists_are_convinced_that_man_can_see_the_future/index.html It's my opinion these tests probably show activity related to the feeling of fear or suspense, not the glimpsing of the future. The article's examples of "presentiment" of disaster...

    What would it take? Precognition

    What would it take for a sekeptic to belive in precognition? I have asked my self this question many a time and only found ways of poking holes in the truth.

    Dreams and Memory

    Rather than continue hijacking Drew599's thread on his predictions, I thought it might be useful to start one on the topic of dreaming and remembering the dreams--accurately or inaccurately. I don't often record dreams in my diary/journal, but I found one that I'll bet you guys can debunk in a...

    Why cant i see the future ?

    Imagine the universe as a game of pool or snooker. If you know the weight of all the balls, the coefficient of friction, the table and the air around the balls, the velocity of the white ball before the break. Could you not determine the resulting change in position of all the balls on the...

    a what if - effects of precognition on economics, military conflict

    For all the believers in and proponents of paranormal phenomena, none of them seem to have a clue what effect something like real precognition would actually have on the world if it were widespread. If you can even bring yourself to think about it, might anyone here be able to think of a good...

    Precognitive Dreaming-A rational explanation?

    Hey all at the JREF, ive been reading this forum for months now but after an experience I had recently, I decided to sign up myself. I had an experience in which I dreamt something which occured the very next day, this sort of thing has happened many times and the pin point accuracy of the...

    If Psychics can see the future...

    If Psychics can see the future... Does that mean we have, at the best, limited free will? It's much like the Omniscient being freewill argument, except a little less grand. If a psychic can see the future and knows that in a weeks time I'm going to be fired, does that not impact on the free...

    My precognitive dream experience

    Last night, I dreamed I was with my mother doing the tourist thing at the Empire State Building. When we got to the 85th floor balcony, instead of the fence on the wall that really exists there was a ledge to lean over. I leaned over and was struck with an attack of vertigo. Then I realized I...

    Precognition?

    Soon after our lottery started in the UK I tried buying tickets for a few weeks without a single win. Early one morning I was partially awakened and in my drowsiness thought of some lottery numbers. The first four numbers out of six, came into my head very clearly. The last two were not so...
