Daniel Bourke is the author of Telepathic Tales and Apparitions at the Moment of Death. A poet and songwriter, he also has a background in the natural sciences, the arts, and the video game industry. His newest book is Déjà Rêvé & Love at Second Sight: The Experience of Meeting in Dreams before Meeting in Life.
Daniel discusses the phenomenon of meeting people in dreams before encountering them in waking life, drawing on hundreds of cross-cultural and historical accounts. He explores distinctions between déjà vu and what he calls “déjà rêvé,” along with evidence suggesting these experiences may be more common than previously assumed. Bourke also examines precognitive dreams, spiritual encounters, and the possible implications for our understanding of time, consciousness, and human relationships.
