Extrasensory experiences such as mind-to-mind communication (telepathy), perception of remote events (clairvoyance), and Foreseeing events (precognition) have been studied for decades. Apparently, they are common enough to consider them more than just illusions and accidents. However, they are still mysteries.
What are the recent advances in ESP?
Is it waste of time, or is it important to study such extrasensory perceptions?
Is that the main reason scientists are studying dreams?
Yes, it is indeed a mystery why some people do connect and they kinda outperforme abilities and others not. Too bad we will perhaps never clearify why this happens since most are always asking how something happens.
I guess the problem is how we define knowledge and sense.
We are used to explain ourself how things are. By this we learned to live in an intersubjective illusion we constantly refresh by talking ouself again and again into it. And we do not even get it. When something comes calling from reality we then call it a mystery.

I don't think is a waste of time. In fact, there seems to be quite a variety of largely still ignored research experiments that suggest we should continue investigating.
You might want to check the work being done at The Institute of Noetic Sciences.
Hope that helps

There's an excellent review of the evidence for psi (what used to be called ESP) just been published by Prof Etzel Cardeña in the APA periodical American Psychologist - http://psycnet.apa.org/record/2018-24699-001
Dear David,
Thanks a lot for your response.
It sounds like a very interesting review.
I will read it carefully as soon as possible.
Kind regards
