The main body presents experiments by the authors over a ten year period to determine if persons acting as "agents" could transfer their thoughts to the minds of sleeping "subjects" and influence show more their dreams. Subjects' reactions, transcripts of recollected dreams and their associations with "targets," accounts of particularly unusual telepathic communication between participants, descriptions of the experimental procedures, and a summary of statistical results are recorded. Their findings, written in straightforward language, will interest the general reader and serious scholar alike. show less
