Description

Interest in dreams is as old as humankind. Interest in dream telepathy -- the idea that we can influence others' dreams and communicate through them -- has been around almost as long. Dream Telepathy is Montague Ullman and Stanley Krippner's 1973 report on their ten years of research and experimentation with the human power to communicate across the barriers of time, space, and sleep.Ullman, a psychoanalyst, and Krippner, a psychologist, were the heads of the dream-research team at show more Maimonides Medical Center's Dream Laboratory in New York throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. Using graduate student researchers and volunteer subjects from the community, Ullman and Krippner engineered experiments wherein the researchers focused on a selection of art prints while, in another room, the subjects slept and dreamt.Meeting with varying degrees of success depending upon the research pair, subjects reported astonishing things, often dreaming their own uncannily accurate interpretation of the artistic scene the researchers were attempting to project to them. Dream Telepathy proposes the invaluable theoretical implications of such experimentation, and presupposes the use of dream telepathy in all areas of paranormal studies. show less

When published in 1973, this was the first book to present and analyze the results of scientifically controlled experiments in extrasensory perception during the dream state. This updated, revised and expanded edition now represents the most current and authoritative source of information available. 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 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 show more statistical results are recorded. Their findings, written in straightforward language, will interest the general reader and serious scholar alike. show less
