Recent Warhammer 40K lore is pretty good in this regard. Astropathic interstellar communication used to be like sending an email via your brain, but in more recent lore it's only extremely talented and powerful astropaths can send coherent and detailed messages, depending on their emotional state and the state of the Warp. Low level astropaths can only project basic feelings and simple thoughts so instead of "Armageddon is being invaded by an Ork fleet made up of 150 battleship-sized vessels", a low level Astropath would project "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK ORKS"
I remember one of the Dawn of War games having Psykers that would just scream incoherently whenever. Sometimes I thought they were under attack and they weren't.
