It is the ability that allows two people to communicate using the power of thought (i.e. not using physical communication methods). In fiction, this is extended to controlling other individuals with the power of the mind (there is no indisputable evidence of this ability in real life). Some conspiracy theorists suggest that various government agencies or nefarious groups utilize telepathy, by psychic ability or technology.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that some individuals may have "shared" thoughts, and this is especially noted among twins. But no way has been found to develop this as a science.
Answer 2:
Science is going to change.
I generally agree with the first answer to this question. However, there is more to it than that.
Telepathy is the universal language of Spirit. It is how people on the Other Side communicate with one another. The reason why we all don't go to Telepathy 101 in grammar school is because of the antiquated understanding of telepathy within the field of Parapsychology and Transpersonal psychology.
Telepathy is a function of one's spirit, not of one's brain. When we are corked up in three dimensional bodies, we are cut off from The Light on the Other Side - the non-living higher power that is the energy source - that naturally allows for easy telepathic communication. Like a land-line telephone that is not plugged in to a phone jack, when we are in bodies we no longer have that communication advantage until we return to The Light.
That is why telepathic communication here, among those in the flesh, is so unstable and so unreliable. In order for it to work you have to enlist the help of spirits to take the message from one person in the flesh and then relay it to another in the flesh. Spirits are people, each with their own personality. You can't turn them on and off to help you like you do a light switch. This is also how Gifts of the Spirit operate. They manifest when the spirits who are causing them to happen decide to make it happen with their access to The Light. Assuming of course that there aren't other spirits who are opposing such a transmission, and thereby damper or prevent it from happening in the first place - which also occurs.
The Spirit World is likened to a large number of special interest groups, all of which use telepathy constantly.
Want to know what telepathy feels like?
Take note of your dreams. They are all based in telepathic communication. Contrary to the distorted paradigm of Sigmund Freud, when we sleep at night one part of our brain does not activate to create dreams for us. Instead, what really happens is that when we are asleep or in a meditative state, we are more receptive to telepathic messages from the Other Side that are often projected symbolically. As a spiritual medium, this has been confirmed to me directly. I have had situations whereby I would be communicating with a Spirit Guide in a dream; to then wake up and continue the conversation. *LOL*

Telepathy is described by the Merriam Webster Dictionary as: Communication from one mind to another by extrasensory means.
Someone who can communicate mind to mind is called telepathic or a telepath.
Telepathy is not a person, it is the ability to ones mind. There are different forms of psychic telepathy such as
Defiition- Apparent communication from one mind to another without using sensory perceptions.
Telepathy is also known as mind reading; if such a thing exists, it is the ability to detect or in some way hear what someone else is thinking. Precognition would be the ability to know what is going to happen in the future. Both of these fall under the heading of paranormal phenomena or psychic abilities, and neither have been convincingly demonstrated to exist, even though there are many people who claim to have such abilities and who practice as professional psychics. For anyone who is inclined to believe such claims, let me just point out that despite all the people who supposedly can foretell the future, there has never been a single case of a useful warning being given by anyone of a coming disaster such as 9/11, the Haitian earthquake, etc. For some reason, the psychics who supposedly know that these things are coming, don't warn anybody. Telepathy, I think, is also an ability which if it did exist, would become known. It would just be too useful for such things as solving crimes.
However equally interesting is data from the Global Consciousness Project (GCP) headquartered at Princeton University. This project seeks to detect unexpected changes in random event generators placed around the world. The premise is that significant events in some way global consciousness which in turn should derandomize these REGs. In fact, this has happened on events such as 9/11 and the deatl of Princess Diana to name two. This seems to hsuggest that the global population has a sense of when something is about to happen, even though there is no reason to expect it.
