- Abstract
This study examined the frequency with which individuals perceived that they had experienced incidents of a variety of forms of non-local communication (remote viewing, the stared-at sensation, pet-owner connections, precognition, dreams, and prayer). The data were gathered in a random telephone survey of 368 participants. The results indicated that the most frequently reported form of non-local communication was prayer response (90%). Other forms which individuals also reported having experienced were telephone source concurrence (79%), telephone source anticipation (67%), the presence-of-another person sensation (65%), anticipated event premonition (53%), dream premonition (51%), pet cognitive premonition (47%), travel premonition (45%), concurrent emotional experience (34%), post-death communication (29%), and dream concurrence (28%). The frequency of some responses was found to vary by age, gender, race, income, and media consumption. The potential influence of these perceptions on communication behavior is discussed.
