Book Cover & Preview Text
Another most dramatic telepathic dream was the one I had on May 20, 1973. In this dream, which was exceptionally vivid, I saw many people falling from a large boat and drowning. There was a big commotion as the people were plunging into the water. When I woke up after having seen this scary scene in the dream, I was agitated. I told Sheldon about it and tried to decipher it by looking for an interpretation along Freudian lines, but Sheldon did not think so. Impressed by my description of the dream, its unusual vividness and the strong emotional tone, he stated that there was "something more to it." Indeed there was.
Later in the morning we heard on the news about an accident that took place in Rhode Island, in which a fishing boat broke in two, many people were thrown into the sea, and more than ten people drowned. We knew then that my dream was about that event. To this day I remember that one of the women I saw in the dream who was saved, wore a red jacket very much like a favorite jacket I had had when I was a teenager. So this detail, too, entered the dream.

About the Book
In the book, More than Meets the Eye; A Journey into the Mysteries of Psychic Phenomena, I invite the reader to join me in a fascinating trip to the field known as “parapsychology.” Parapsychology, or “psi” phenomena, are psychic events which do not lend themselves to regular explanation based on evidence provided by the senses; they are said to be “extrasensory.” These phenomena are: telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, and precognition. Our communication is based ordinarily on hearing or reading the other’s words, but in telepathic communication we are said to know the other’s thoughts directly, without the mediation of the senses. In clairvoyance, known also as “remote viewing,” we are said to “see” remote places without using the eyes. In psychokinesis we are said to be able to bend, push, or break objects without touching them, and in precognition we have direct glimpses of the future. Are telepathy, clairvoyance and other kinds of psychic phenomena real, or are they figments of an overly active imagination? And what about phenomena such as out-of-body experiences, apparitions of dead people, and reincarnation? Are such phenomena real? On the basis of my own experience, of the experiences of people I had interviewed, and of information I had gleaned from books by credible authors, I reach certain interesting conclusions which I share with the reader.
