ABSTRACT
The word telepathy was one to conjure with in the early days of psychical research. Telepathy, its twin sister among psychic powers, is the process by which thoughts, emotions or sensations are transmitted from one mind to another without sensory means. Naturally, these two are so closely akin that it is often difficult to make any logical distinction. It is not always simple to decide whether an instance should be classed as clairvoyant or telepathic. Amid the vast store of veridical dreams published over sixty years ago in Phantasms of the Living, is one that fits particularly well into this group of Telepathic Dreams. The hour of death seems to be the most potent time for perception to take place outside normal, sensory means. This is true of the large majority of cases involving apparitions, of clairaudience—the hearing of voices and speech without known means of transmission—and also of dreams that come true.
