Synopsis

This book is the first to scientifically explore the phenomenon of telepathic dreaming in depth. It recounts how psychiatrist Montague Ullman and psychologist Stanley Krippner conducted experiments to determine whether persons acting as senders can transfer their thoughts to the minds of sleeping receivers, thereby altering their dreams. Their results were astonishing: the researchers were able to verify several instances of telepathic communication between participants. Participants often gave uncannily accurate descriptions of images that the senders attempted to project to them - apparently confirming the reality of extrasensory perception during the dream state.

In fascinating detail, the authors explain the intriguing process and results of their 10-year study, researching and experimenting with the human ability to communicate across the barriers of time, space, and sleep. They also review the history of previous research in this area, describe their own controlled experimental procedures, document their subjects' reactions, provide transcripts of several dream sessions, and critically engage with scientific reviewers. All this is done in straightforward language, making the book accessible to both general readers and serious scholars. Rarely has a scientific work been so readable, engaging, and entertaining.

This new 50th Anniversary Edition features a never-before-published article by Montague Ullman on interpreting dreams in light of theoretical physicist David Bohm's concept of an implicate order; and a new afterword by Stanley Krippner, highlighting recent developments in dream telepathy research.

Alan Vaughan, Ph.D, (1936-2001) was a world-renowned intuitive and psychical researcher. He earned a bachelor's degree in Greek and Latin at the University of Akron (1958), followed by graduate studies at Rutgers, the New School for Social Research, the College of Psychic Studies in London, and the University of Freiburg. He was awarded an honorary Ph.D by the International Institute of Integral Human Studies in Montreal. He taught courses on psychic development at the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in Berkeley, and at Sonoma State College. Vaughan edited Psychic Magazine in the 1970s, and was president of New Ways of Consciousness Foundation. He was also the founder of Mind Technology Systems, a computer software company. For 30 years Vaughan demonstrated his own psychic abilities at parapsychology laboratories such as Mobius Society, which rated him 86% accurate. He appeared on over 80 television programs to discuss parapsychology, and authored numerous articles.
