I am open to the possibility of such a thing.
I've taken courses on dreams, and there's something called "Dreaming in Tandem" where two people have the same exact dream. Usually one where they were both in it, and the same events happened. This can only happen, supposedly, in people who are very close...who have almost no secrets between eachother, and who trust eachother 100%.
It's interesting. I am open to what the human mind can do. 🙂
any even remotely plausible mechanism for how any of that happens?
because, as open to the "mind" as I am, you can't just make stuff up

You're not very open. Certain things cannot be explained by conventional or modern means, and you have to accept that. If not, it's your loss, not mine.

your first answer indicates that you have no idea what conventional or modern means are, let alone what they can explain.
and no, its not my loss if i don't believe nonsense.

However, if something cannot be proven one way or the other, it is better to side with the simplest answer. The idea that people fake, imagine, or delude them selves, is a far simpler an answer to the questions you posed, then some mysterious unknown force that does not manifest its self in any other manner.

Do you remember your previous PM to me ? About the dreams you have been having ?
I am confused that you could confide in me those claims, yet be skeptical when a person tells you that they have the same dream as someone else on the same night, where the same images and events occured in that dream.

You cannot experience what someone else experiences. You cannot invade another's perception, no matter what scientific method you use.
Some things cannot be explained. Whether or not they will be explainable in the future is another matter.

If something can benefit you, but you are closed off to it because it does not comform to your own developed logic, than yes, it's your loss.
You have the right to beleive what you beleive, but you don't have to attack others for thier beleifs, unless thier beleifs actually offend you.

What vibrations? Like if I clap my hands?

I told you that I was skeptical of my own dreams. I was only using them as an illustration in our conversation.

what can't be explained?
mind you, for you to be as open minded as you like to pretend, you would have to be just as open to the idea that what you have experienced is confirmation bias as you want me to be about your woo woo nonsense.

actually, I avoid many things that provide the psychological benefits that religion (re: belief in psychics) give. Those are psychological benefits based on the way our brains are assembled, they have little to do with what's going on in reality. I wouldn't have to explain the placebo effect to someone as learned as you.

You are right, I don't HAVE to do anything
however I want to.
As I have decided to dedicate my life to understanding the human brain, I feel very sad for people who have been swindled into believing things that are so blatantly false. It is my joy to attack these things.
They don't offend me, but if you want me to be cynically pragmatic, they are a competitor whom I would like to burry.
all the things mentioned and many more can happen. practically anything, at specific "level". being gifted mentally doesnt just limit u to telepathy/telekenesis/ precognition. it isnt like that. what u have is potential/energy/awarness in a sumwhat abstract way. these can be used depending on ur control or area of talent to create any number of effects.
n yea, it might be overly rare. but it exists. cant think of any MECHANISMS as yet, but sum1 told me that part of it is genetic{dont ask me HOW lol} .

true, most people beleive in it because they have little understanding of the physical brain. true, most people who claim such powers are frauds taking advantage of people. true, you have the most evidence to back up your claims.
however, it would be sad for you if there really was even one person in the world who was a psychic/mystic which cud truly not be explained by your perspective wudnt it. if there were more to it than met your eye or your perspective. just saying.
