<blockquote>You [[know ]] that by telepathy we mean the alleged fact that an [[event ]] which occurs at a specific [[time ]] comes more or less simultaneously into the [[consciousness ]] of a person who is spatially distant, without any of the known methods of [[communication ]] coming into play. The tacit assumption is that this event occurs to a person, in whom the receiver of the [[message ]] has some strong emotional interest. ... I [[need ]] not emphasize to you the improbability of such [[processes]], and anyway there are [[good ]] reasons for rejecting the majority of such reports.<ref>{{NILP}} Ch. 2</ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>Have I given you the impression that I am secretly inclined to support the [[reality ]] of telepathy in the occult [[sense]]? If so, I should very much regret that it is so difficult to avoid giving such an impression. In reality, however, I was anxious to be strictly impartial. I have every [[reason ]] to be so, for I have no opinion; I know [[nothing ]] [[about ]] it.<ref>{{D&T}} </ref></blockquote>

<blockquote>Fundamentally the [[dream ]] has but little to do with telepathy. Telepathy throws no new light on the [[nature ]] of the dream, nor does the dream bear [[witness ]] for the reality of telepathy. Telepathic phenomena are also by no manner of means confined to [[dreams]]; they can also [[manifest ]] themselves during waking [[life]]. The only ground for mentioning the connection between dreams and telepathy is that the condition of [[sleep ]] seems to be especially suitable for the reception of telepathic communications. If then one comes across a socalled telepathic dream, one can convince oneself by its [[analysis ]] that the telepathic message has played the same [[role ]] as any [[other ]] residue of waking life, and as such has been altered by the dream-[[work ]] and made to serve its [[purpose]].<BR>I [[want ]] you to notice that it was not dreams that seemed to teach us something about telepathy, but the [[interpretation ]] of the dreams, the [[psycho]]-[[analytic ]] [[treatment ]] of [[them]].<ref>{{NILP}} Ch. 2</ref></blockquote>
