Abstract

This double-blind study utilized dreaming instead of remote viewing as a

precognitive tool within an Associative Remote Viewing (ARV) protocol. In the

spirit of Participatory Action Research, but using a quantitative design, a

cohesive group of experienced remote viewers (who varied in experience)

designed and participated in a year-long study that included 56 trials in which

they attempted to have precognitive dreams that would enable them to

produce descriptions and sketches that would match a photograph they would

be shown at a future time. Five out of 7 remote viewers/dreamers were able to

consistently produce dreams at will. Their 278 transcripts were utilized for the

purpose of making predictions and wagers on the outcomes of sporting events.

They produced an overall rate of 17 hits out of 28 predictions, which a binomial

test showed to be marginally above chance (one-tailed). Nevertheless, the

overall monetary gain was a little under 400 percent of the initial stake.

Further, one individual dreamer had a 76 percent correct hit rate based on 13

hits and 4 misses with 20 passes, while another had 16 hits and 9 misses.

These points are discussed along with the notion that raising the threshold of

Confidence Ranking Scores (up to a CR of 6) for dream based ARV predictions

may help to improve the overall hit rate.
