His latest research asks whether dreams allow us to cross the veil of the afterlife:<br> Alex Tsakiris: Walk us through some examples and really nail down when you say, you had a dream about them and then you found out that they had died two weeks earlier. People are going to immediately say, you could have known somehow, some way that they were dead. Walk us through how you verify that you really have something.<br> Andy Paquette: I had one dream where a woman came to me and was telling me a person that I knew who happened to be a clerk at a store I’d been to maybe five times in my life had a person close to him–a relative had just died and that he was really despondent about this. As a result he was abusing drugs and alcohol and she warned me that he would die if he continued abusing these things. And she told me that she wanted me to go talk to him and give him this warning that she was giving me.<br> Alex Tsakiris: So this is more or less a complete stranger?<br> Andy Paquette: I have talked to the guy [before]. I bought a couple of things from him, and I did know his first name but we really hadn’t talked about anything other than is this paint available and where is it? That was the extent of our couple of conversations. And it was in a new city, I had just moved to Phoenix so it’s not like I knew the area very well either. Anyway, I went upstairs and I told my wife about the dream and she says, are you going to go talk to him and I said, are you kidding me? Go up to this guy I don’t know and [tell] him this weird dream? What if he hasn’t had a relative that died? That’s going to be really embarrassing. And she really insisted and said you have to do this. She was so insistent that finally I said fine. But it was a pain because this store was 45 minutes from where I live by car and [it’s] expensive gas-wise. So I drove all the way down there, I get to the store and I see this guy behind the counter and I’m [thinking], oh great, how do I do this? So I said to him, and I don’t want to use his real name so I’ll just call him Frank. I said, Frank, and I gave him the name of some shipment that he might’ve had. He said, oh yeah they’re in the back. So we get to the back of the store and I said you know, it’s kind of a funny thing,
