mental telepathy

Direct consciousness communication

Mental telepathy is a redundant phrase for telepathy, the supposed ability to communicate thoughts directly from one mind to another without using speech, writing, or other conventional means.

The modifier mental is unnecessary since telepathy is by definition a mental phenomenon, but the phrase persists in casual usage, perhaps for emphasis or because speakers are uncertain about telepathy alone.
