(GRATEFUL DEAD). KRIPPNER, Stanley; HONORTON, Charles; ULLMAN, Montague
An Experiment in Dream Telepathy with "The Grateful Dead"
Brooklyn, Maimonides Medical Center, 1971. Two early reports on experiments in dream telepathy conducted in 1971 and "suggested by Jerry Garcia," in which randomly selected images were beamed to sleeping subjects miles away, from (in the first report) the audiences of six Grateful Dead concerts. Co-author Stanley Krippner has been, among other things, one of the leading researchers into dream telepathy and telepathy in general ("remote viewing"). He received the American Psychological Association [APA] Award for Distinguished Lifetime Contributions to Humanistic Psychology in 2013, one of many such awards he has earned over the years. He and Montague Ullman, along with Alan Vaughn, published Dream Telepathy: Experiments in Nocturnal ESP in 1973. A variant version of the first report here is transcribed on Krippner's website, where he writes "The results of this study were published in a medical journal in 1973." Both of these reports are dated 1971, the year the experiments were conducted; this appears to be the earliest formal presentation of information about this study, its circumstances, and its results. The first report is 18 pages, photocopy, with one staple, near fine; the second is 38 pages, photocopy, several small stains, one staple, very good.
