1. Abstract
This paper provides a preliminary report of a ten-day precognitive dream experiment conducted with Mr. Christopher Robinson (CR), a British citizen, in August 2001 in the Human Energy Systems Laboratory at the University of Arizona.
Introduction
The purpose of this controlled blinded experiment was to determine if Mr. Christopher Robinson (CR), a British citizen who claims to have the ability to receive information about future events in his dreams, could dream specific details – and in particular, patterns of details – about ten different locations that he would be taken to, one location per day, for ten consecutive days.
In a book published in England, (Robinson with Boot, 1994), CR recounts his personal history from having been a television repairman to becoming an uncover agent for Scotland Yard and British Intelligence. The book claims that CR is able to predict the occurrence of serious crimes, terrorist acts, and natural disasters through messages received while he sleeps. CR has carefully recorded the preponderance of his nightly dreams in diaries for over fourteen years. He has also demonstrated his purported precognitive dream ability on more than a dozen television shows. The author (GES) has spoken with two separate police officials in England who confirm CR’s longstanding collaboration in law enforcement activities and their satisfaction with his information.
As mentioned above, prior to the experiment, CR had never visited any of the locations. A number of the locations are described in books and websites about Southern Arizona. However, even if CR had decided to learn about Southern Arizona, he was completely blind to the identity of (1) which locations were selected to make up the initial set of 20, (2) which of the selected 20 were further selected as the 10 to be visited, and (3) what was the precise order of the 10 final sites to be visited.
On Day 2, the primary themes were “shops and workshops…fabricating things….metal” CR was taken to Tubac (an artist colony) to a specific shop that had metal sculptures. The shop had a workshop in the back. None of the other nine locations had this combination of specific themes.
Rating 10.
On Day 3, the primary themes were “heads, lots of heads…belts, leather, jeans.”
CR was taken to the Tucson Mall. PE parked where he always parked, the lower level of Dillards Department Store. Upon entering the store the very first sales counter had a large selection of mannequin heads for sale (the sale was so unique that PE purchased a “head” as a remembrance). PE also purchased a pair of jeans in the store as a reminder. None of the other nine locations had this pattern of themes.
Rating 10.
On Day 4, the primary themes were “suns, mirrors, LCDs, telescopes, Mount Olympus (after his 35mm camera), airplanes, hangers, a pitched propeller). CR was taken to Kitt Peak National Laboratory (at the top of a huge mountain) to the world’s largest Solar Telescope. CR and PE ate lunch at a nearby airport restaurant with hangers that had a large pitched propeller in front. None of the other nine locations had this combination of themes.
Rating 10.
On Day 7, the primary themes included “dust, dust everywhere, including on the floor in a building, a court room, and a train robbery.” CR was taken to Old Tucson, a western theme park that is also used as a movie set. There is dust everywhere, including a room with a complete dusty floor. A large train has been used in more than 100 movies involving train robberies. Old Tucson includes a courtroom. None of the other nine locations had this pattern of themes.
Rating 10.
On Day 8, the primary themes included “space, space capsule, archeology, crossing over a dry river.” CR was taken to the University of Arizona Planetarium (a space museum), which includes archaeology and pictures of purported dry riverbeds on Mars. None of the other nine locations had this pattern of themes.
Rating 10.
The present findings, when viewed in their entirety, cannot be explained using conventional mechanisms such as fraud, guessing, or selective searching for information to fit each location. Instead, the data are consistent with CR’s claim that he has precognitive dream abilities.
It is worth noting that while CR was in Tucson, he had a “nightmare” involving planes crashing into large buildings in New York City and thousands of people dying. These dreams continued when he returned to England. He recorded these dreams, drew the buildings, and told his police superiors of the dreams. A few days before 9-11, he was compelled to post a letter to the London Embassy warning of a serious threat to US safety. CR’s police supervisor has a copy of drawings made by CR prior to 9-11 of planes crashing into tall buildings in New York City. The diagram faxed to the police and verified by them is available.
The 9-11 twin-tower dream is not novel for CR. He has been having terrorist-related dreams, documented by British police and Scotland yard, for fourteen years.
In February of 2002, CR conducted a replication and extension ten-day experiment in Washington, DC, with a member of a US secret service agency [who requested to GES that her identity and agency be kept secret]. In this experiment, CR predicted major events that would be published each day in the news paper. The findings replicated, in accuracy and detail, the findings from the University of Arizona ten-day experiment. Though these findings are currently secret (GES has read the report), it is planned that they can be published at a later date.
One possible physical / field mechanism is that CR is somehow directly receiving information from the Universe (e.g. in the “vacuum” of space) that contains detailed information of past, present, and future. One could speculate that the apparent intelligence observed in the data involves CR’s unconscious intelligence in digesting the information. However, CR speculates that at least two other possible mechanisms – both extraordinarily controversial – may be involved.
The first controversial hypothesis involves active assistance from individuals who have died and are committed to continued collaboration with people who are physically alive.
The second even more controversial hypothesis involves assistance from advanced individuals, if not direct assistance from the source of intelligence in the universe itself (in religions labeled by various names including Yahweh, the Great Spirit, God, Allah).

Here's his web site: PSYCHIC DREAMS.
Disinformation or not, it bears many of the marks cited in my Illustrated Field Guide to Internet Kooks, so someone's on the ball, lol.

I have never heard of this man before. Thank you for bringing this topic to us. While reading this, I kept thinking about Edgar Cayce. He was known as the sleeping prophet (I'm sure you already knew that) . Sounds like Christopher Robinson might be the next in line for that particular gift.

He worked alongside the UK police and Scotland Yard for 14 years, the Arizona Papers prove he has psychic ability, not long after 9/11 he was further tested by the Secret Service in Washington DC. Then he dissappeared for quite some time, only to emerge with seeming rants on twitter and plenty of predictions that never came true. Then a webpage which as you say, look's like 'crazy conspiracy' central. I would argue that is disinformation and the intelligence services are using this man and don't want the public to take that 'kind of stuff' seriously. That's my take anyway.

For what it's worth, he didn't disappear for too long, at least as regards that web page.
Here is the web archive of it for November 2004 (tinyurl alias, the actual one breaks ATS), it's largely the same as it is now, and there have been updates and rearrangements over the years that you can see. So either it's been a long term campaign of disinformation (without much reward), or he's just been getting extra kooky lately, and you're seeing the results of that.

I'm aware you are trying your best to make him look like a 'kook', but the Arizona papers still exist and the tests were real. With that in mind, when I see this website and his more recent twitter account that completely undermine his credibility, I think it lends more credence to his abilities.

Naw, I'm not interested in what he looks like, I just figured that his web site and the history of it might be of some interest. My side of it is that I've never heard of him before, and had you not posted the thread, probably never would have heard of him, so no discrediting would be necessary. And, to be honest, the web site doesn't really undercut his credibility with me -- I've seen far worse over the years.

How about another obvious possibility...That instead of the site/twitter being a disinfo campaign, that it really is Christopher Robinson, but that things occurred during the period he was under Secret Service interest which caused him to lose his ability, or maybe go a little crazy?

What do you make of the Arizona Paper? Do you think Robinson is legit based on the results? It seems well outside of coincidence he could guess the details of each location he was taken to with such accurate details for 10 days straight?

Thank you my friend. This is what I was thinking. They MK ULTRA'd him. Or outright replaced him with an agent. Or simply threatened him...
Everything's fine, then he has a meeting with high level U.S Government agents and now everything's all haywire? Not to hard to figure out he got "got"...

Yep, his mistake was letting himself get involved with US agents and their 'experiments'.
Everything about his ability was out and in the open and as soon as the US pokes it's beak in, he disappears for 2 years and everything he did in that time is a secret (oh shock). He has since re-emerged and seems a totally different character. Weird.
If I had extra-ordinary paranormal abilities and was invited to be tested in the US, I would be very afraid.edit on 28-9-2012 by doobydoll because: (no reason given)
