   Some of us? Meaning you? Wouldn't assume that for a group of readers   
   interested in the topic of NDEs.   
      
   Once you had one, you kind of soften up to others. But that is a later   
   experience for you. Isn't it?

   What ESP abilities? Told you already, either you don't read properly, or   
   you filter whatever doesn't fit your little boxed view of reality.   
      
      
   Boy, what a lack of humor on your part. Typical lack of imagination in   
   your thinking, wouldn't you say?   
      
   You know what the experts think? No imagination leads to no creative   
   thinking. What you know, is only what you've been taught.   
   Spinning the same ideas over and over again in your head. Without any   
   new creative insights on your own.   
      
   So much like your thinking, isn't it?   
      
      
   But about any anti-ESP conspiracies. I used to lurk in three different   
   athestic newsgroups a few years ago. They presented themselves as   
   experts with all sorts of lame-brained/retarded views on cognitive   
   science. In the beginning they welcomed me. Welcomed my arguments about   
   the brain/perception.   
      
   Later when I started to win the arguments. When some of the readers   
   started to openly question their atheistic views. Do you know they did   
   at these open-minded newsgroups did? They blacklisted me. I was no   
   longer welcome. You know, you would almost suspect a conspiracy in my   
   shoes?

   You have an amazing ability to not put facts together. Lets get off the   
   case 'of you'. You don't come across as an open-mined person.   
      
   Also, if you would have looked into dreaming about future events, you   
   might have figured out that people who experience psychic dreams are   
   able to distinguish between psychic dreams and non-psychic ones. Or   
   hasn't this obvious insight not appeared in your un-imaginative view of   
   reality yet? Did you think/assume psychics always have psychic dreams   
   and no others? Not any of the junk variety which apparently haunts your   
   dream landscape. Of course we have them both types. Junk ones dominate.   
      
   I suspect most dreams are concerned with processing information which   
   occupied the brain that day. Another aspect about psychic dreams are   
   that they can be about something/someone you haven't thought about in   
   years. Or something entirely new, with nothing in your background   
   experience to account for it.   
      
    Psychic dreams have a different perceptual quality about them. Not that   
   you would know. Its like seeing colors, instead of a simple/dry black   
   and white picture. But the most important difference which makes itself   
   readily apparent is this, when you have an ordinary dream and wake up,   
   if you remember the dream, you sense/know your mind conjured the dream   
   up. Not that you'll know any of this while you're dreaming. Just once   
   you wake. You'll know everything you experienced, everything you saw or   
   felt, was all made up inside the domain of your mind.   
      
   But when you have psychic dreams, when you wake up, you sense/know the
