Rhine, L E (1953).
Subjective forms of spontaneous psi experiences. Journal of
Parapsychology, 17, (pp. 77-114) Abstract Approximately 1,000 cases of spontaneous
"psychic" experiences were analyzed to show the commonly recurring forms of
the experiences. Four main types were found: (1) intuitive (a simple
unreasoned impression or hunch); (2) hallucinatory; (3) unrealistic dreaming
(characterized by fantasy); (4) realistic dreaming (characterized by
photographically realistic imagery). These forms are not unusual, but "each
of the four commonly occur in mental activity having nothing to do with
psi." Intuitive psi experiences are so much like those of ordinary intuitive
experiences of everyday life that the two are difficult to distinguish. The
forms very likely reflect the effect of individual personality differences
in the outward expression of a basic unconscious psi function.
