ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an example of thought transference between Dan and his patient Lily. Telepathy alters our conception of Self and changes our understanding of the contents of our thoughts. Telepathy proves mind is transpersonal and nonlocal.
On Monday night Dan has a dream: He is driving in a car. His wife receives a phone call. She answers and Dan listens as if he’d placed the phone to his ear. It’s Jim, Dan’s brother-in-law. Dan’s sister is suffering from a disease. She’s fallen and hit her head. An MRI of her brain shows a fatal problem. Dan thinks, “Let her die. You have to let her die.” Dan wants to say these words, but he’s mute.
The next day Dan discusses this dream in analysis and considers how disappointed he’s been with his sister.
Then Dan has a session with Lily. She says, “On Monday I got a call from my brother-in-law saying my sister had fallen. A scan shows the cancer’s in her brain. I wanted to say, ‘Let her die, you have to let her die,’ but I couldn’t say it.”
Stunned, Dan realizes he has dreamt another person’s thoughts as if they were his own.
