How much of our Psi experiences are shared by the animal kingdom, in particular other mammals?
Doing a quick dive into dreaming, it is pretty obvious that what we might categorize as 'standard' dreaming is something all of them do.
I haven't attempted to do shared dreaming with any of my 5 cats, or the dog, but it is very obvious that they do dream.
Should we assume they have the same abilities to project and have out of body experiences? Or do you feel like this is a 'human-only' experience?
I can see the very obvious emotional and mental states they share with humans, even if that ventures into anthropomorphism. They do get jealous of each other and they all have personalities.
There are those interesting accounts of pets travelling hundreds/thousands of miles to find owners, and that they know when you are coming home.
I also saw the multiple accounts of pet communicator women, pet psychics I suppose, and they were giving some pretty accurate information about the pets. The only issue there is that we have to consider all possible Psi options for information transfer, to include reading this information from the owners who are present during the readings. Yet, some of that information was a surprise to the owner, and only confirmed later by a visit to the vet. Likely one of the more interesting cases was the horse with a shard of metal from the bridle stuck inside it's mouth, only discovered by X-ray after she said the horse complained about it.
It would be interesting to ask these pet psychics to ask the pets about Psi experiences.
