    About this ebook

    Precognition is the hardest aspect of parapsychology for us to understand yet the easiest to experience and to test scientifically in the laboratory. Retrocognition occurs but is reported much more rarely. Hundreds of studies have been made of spontaneous precognition expe­riences and of controlled experiments in the laboratory. The use of modern electronic instruments has confirmed this. Even dreams have been shown to come true in the laboratory. This essay, chapter 6 from Psychic Exploration, studies precognition and retrocognition. The full volume of Psychic Exploration can be purchased as an ebook or paperback version from all major online retailers and at cosimobooks.com.

      Precognition and Retrocognition, copyright © 1974 by E. Douglas Dean. First published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons in 1974 as part of Psychic Exploration: A Challenge for Science. Current edition published by Cosimo Classics in 2015.

      Note to the Readers: This mini-ebook was earlier published as part of a compilation of essays in Psychic Exploration: A Challenge for Science, Understanding the Nature and Power of Consciousness (originally published in 1974; reprinted by Cosimo Books in 2011), edited by Apollo 14 astronaut, moonwalker, and founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Edgar Mitchell.

      Each of the 28 chapters in the original Psychic Exploration was dedicated to a specific field of research in parapsychology, written by leading experts and scientists, such as Stanley Krippner, Montague Ullman, Charles Tart, Russel Targ, William Roll, Jean Houston, Willis Harman, and many others. With the advent of ebook technology, we feel that each of these unique essays deserve attention as a dedicated mini-ebook in addition to the complete version of Psychic Exploration.

      If you prefer exploring specific subjects or authors, below is a complete list of the individual essays, all available as mini-ebooks. On the other hand, if you are interested in all of the essays and the field of parapsychology in general, we encourage you to read the original Psychic Exploration, available at online bookstores in both paperback and ebook versions.

      However you decide to read these essays, we know you will receive a thorough introduction to psychic research in its many forms, from what is now considered a classic in the parapsychology genre. Part of the proceeds of this mini-ebook will benefit the Institute of Noetic Sciences (www.noetic.org).
