This power is very similar to [[Aro]]'s [[tactile telepathy]], given they both need to be in physical touch to activate their powers. Unlike most other mind-directed powers, this power cannot be blocked by [[Bella]]'s [[mental shield|shield]] due to Renesmee's second ability to [[shield penetration|penetrate shields]].

Renesmee's thought projection behaves as the opposite counterpart of [[Edward Cullen]]'s power of [[telepathy]]: while Edward can read the thoughts of others from a distance, she can project her thoughts into others' minds by touching them. Also, while her mother Bella keeps everyone out of her mind with a psychic defense, Renesmee's talent makes sure no one can keep her out.

Renesmee first uses her power on Bella to show her her first memory of Bella, as well as the only memory of her as a human. She mainly uses this power to communicate with others, since words are harder to describe her feelings and thoughts. However, she is restricted from using it on [[Charlie Swan|Charlie]], knowing that it would be better to act more normal.

When the [[Volturi]] is closing in on them, the Cullens ally Renesmee to touch their allies to show them their story. Her images are so realistic that everyone who ever saw it instantly believed them and were persuaded to help.

Renesmee Cullen: able to project thoughts into someone's mind.
"She can show people her thoughts by touching their skin."
This power allows the user to project his or her thoughts into another person's mind in the form of vivid pictures, thoughts and feelings, through physical contact. It works most effectively in communicating with others when words are not suited to the purpose.
In the novel, the images projected into the target's mind are transparent, but incredibly vivid; in the movie, however, the images are more solid.
One can also "hack" the user's power to access his/her dreams by placing his or her hand on their faces―as shown when Renesmee fell asleep and Bella "peeped" in on her dreams.
Limitations
This power is very similar to Aro's tactile telepathy, given they both need to have physical contact to activate their powers. Unlike most other mind-based powers, this power cannot be blocked by Bella's shield due to Renesmee's second ability to penetrate shields.
Renesmee's thought projection behaves as the opposite counterpart of Edward Cullen's power of telepathy: while Edward can read the thoughts of others from a distance, she can project her thoughts into others' minds by touching them. Also, while her mother Bella keeps everyone out of her mind with a psychic defense, Renesmee's talent makes sure no one can keep her out.

―Bella's experience of Renesmee's communicative power.[src]
Renesmee first uses her power on Bella to show her her first memory of Bella, as well as the only memory of her as a human. She mainly uses this power to communicate with others, since words are harder to describe her feelings and thoughts. However, she is restricted from using it on Charlie, knowing that it would be better to act more normal.
When the Volturi is closing in on them, the Cullens ally Renesmee to touch their allies to show them their story. Her images are so realistic that everyone who ever saw it instantly believed them and were persuaded to help.
During their confrontation with the Volturi, Aro holds out his hand to read Renesmee's mind, but she shows him her power instead, mesmerizing him.
Zafrina's visual projection power is similar to Renesmee's in that they allow others to see their imaginations. However, while Renesmee's power works as a way of communication and the vision she produces is transparent, Zafrina produces a very realistic scene that can easily fool the target's eye.
