Some recipients even experience dreams or memories aligning with their donor's identity, such as a woman envisioning a young man named Tim during a dream and later discovering her donor's name as Tim Lamirande

Unfortunately, though, I don't see any mention of how certain they were that the recipients didn't learn these things before experiencing them
