It's also believed that unconscious mind is capable of linking to other entities than those which are living. That we can receive messages from dead. People often dream of lost loved ones who frequently seem to be offering advice or warnings. Is this our own way of putting messages into our conscious mind, or are we communicating with dead?

To test this ability between living entities, try sending a message to a close friend who you know is asleep. Did they remember their dream? Did it involve you?

Telepathy & Relationships

The more time people spend together, more likely they are to be able to link up to others mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand 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. This is due to child desperately wanting his/her mother, knowing that this is person who would always want to be there for them connecting with mother's deep desire to protect her child for harm.

Conclusion

We are obviously selective when using our telepathic abilities. Imagine how confusing world would become if you were able to receive messages from any number of people simultaneously. It's bad enough when two phones ring at once! Or kids want to tell you three different stories and you're trying to watch your favourite TV show! Perhaps this is why it is generally used in times of dire need? I certainly wouldn't want to be able to receive thoughts of everybody who thought anything at all about me. Peeping through keyhole is bad enough, looking into thoughts would be awful.
