It was argued that the hypothesis linking arousal with psi would lead to differential predictions depending on the strength of the shock. Animals of the Roman High Avoidance strain were used, with a current of 0.1mA in the first series, and one of 0.2mA in the second. At the beginning of each trial one side or the other was randomly chosen to receive an electrical stimulus if the animal was on that side. The animals were tested individually in a cage having 2 compartments separated by a central barrier over which the animal could jump. Two exploratory experimental series were carried out to test the presence of precognitive ability in rats. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) This research showed that many people use the word "precognitive dream" in a wrong sense compared with a standard definition and that those "precognitive" dreams could be considered a subtype of déjà vu experiences. The respondents who had no precognitive dreams experienced déjà vu significantly less frequently than the ones who had "pseudo" precognitive dreams. ![]() Déjà vu experiences showed very similar patterns of age distribution. The onset age of the precognitive dream is concentrated on the age between 6 to 10 years old. Although 20% of the respondents claimed that the experiences were "true" precognitive dreams, a major portion (about 80%) of the respondents regarded their experiences as "pseudo" precognitive dreams (they recalled the dreams when they had "predicted" events). Out of the remaining ninety-eight students, forty-one (41.8%) reported at least one experience of precognitive dream. Of all the respondents, twenty-four were not sure whether they had those experiences. A questionnaire concerning dreams and déjà vu experiences was administered to 122 university students.
