No, this works for me for people that I feel strong ties and connections or
emotions with, not everyone in the world! It is not scientific, but John and
Karen were able to clarify where this might not or does not fit within quantum
mechanics, which is what I was asking about in the first place. (02)

Not only spoiling data, but spoiling the experience, so I'm not interested in
being the discoverer of this phenomenon scientifically speaking, but in reading
about it. It's more of a curiosity and let's say a phenomenon of mine, not
something I put my belief in (I have religion for that). (04)
You really want the ridiculous - if I dream of a tornado and we get one (after
the dream) my mother thinks I caused it! Talk about preposterous. (05)
