Ah, but the decoding on the receiving end is often (usually?) inaccurate. If we were truly psychic, literally sharing thoughts, there could be no mistaking someone's expression.

Unless it was a lie, or some other mind clutter that was going on at the time of the "receiving"....
The "decoding" part doesn't go away, as there would be just as much chance for misinterpretation....

I deeply believe this to be the case.
Most people seem to think that their thoughts are completely private. I think they exist "somewhere" and they can be experienced by other sentient beings who have access to this "somewhere" ... even without our knowing it.
But if this were the case do you really think an entity would take an interest in you personally? Think about it there are billions of people on earth so chances are you will seem pretty average... not to mention all the other animals out there with interesting thoughts.

Well, others would experience the true you only as much as you yourself did, I guess.

Believing your thoughts can be heard by others is considered a symptom of schizophrenia, FYI.

Is everything that goes on in your head a coherent straight line train of thought....?
I don't think it happens in my mind like that, it wonders all over the place - especially if I am not focusing on something in particular....
Now, I can decode what is going on in my own mind, but I am pretty sure that I would have a difficult time decoding someone else's thought patterns....
Lots of room for misinterpretation, I would venture to say more so than regular vocal conversation....

Well I'm thinking of it as basically getting right into the same point of view as that other person. Not only access to their immediate thought patterns, but also their memories and ways of thinking. Accessing their entire mind.
It would be sort of like learning a new language for each person you psychically "swapped" with.
You could end up knowing more about that person then they knew themselves if you could get into their subconscious.

But what you are describing is being the radio, not receiving the signal....

Yes....
You don't see a difference between the transmitter -> receiver relationship....?
Being an performer is far different function than being a audience....

What if there is no performer at all, only observers?
The only difference is the transmitter has a front row seat.

Are you inferring that the transmitter does not program the transmission/performance....?

on some level
in the dream
we are like one being
and we are the actors and the audience at the same time
and what happens in another's head is happenning in ours
it is a bit like a radio and a bit like geometry of another dimension
