When the resources of two persons unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it telepathy. We can either send or receive telepathy.

You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings, try feeling who is contacting you.

Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each others unconscious mind. Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger.
