I have heard people talk about ESP. What exactly does it stand for?

TelepathyESP stands for extrasensory perception-that is, knowledge which is acquired by means other than through the five senses. It is also sometimes referred to as psychic power or paranormal activity. The term ESP is generally held to cover three main phenomena said to occur without the intervention of the senses or any previous knowledge. These are: telepathy, or the awareness of the thought or feelings of another person, perhaps, at some distance; clairvoyance ,or the visualization of an object or event out of sight as it is or as it is happening; and precognition, the foreseeing of an event in some detail before it takes places. Another ability sometimes included under the heading is psychometric, or the ability to draw information about a person from some inanimate object connected with him, such as a watch or a ring.

My friend and i spend a lot of time together and find we are frequently thinking the same things. Is this telepathy?

It may just be that you have grown to think very like one another because you share so many everyday experiences and conversations. Sometimes we can anticipate how another person will react to a situation and even the words they will use because we know them so well. Real telepathy is in performing some experiments you can get a special pack of cards which will help you.

I dream of a flood and a few days letter there was one near where my parents live. Was this precognition?

Many dreams which seem precognitive may in fact be coincidental. If it had been raining heavily you may have been worried about the possibility of a flood anyway-hence your dream. What about all your dreams of events which have never actually taken place?
