Dream Laboratory

Established by Montague Ullman in 1962 "to explore the problem of telepathy and dreams by means of the newly discovered Rapid Eye Movement monitoring technique." The laboratory's principal function is research, but it also brings together scholars concerned with parapsychology and organizes lectures to outside groups. It has conducted a number of experiments on altered states of consciousness and psi faculty during sleep that have been reported in various professional journals. It was directed for ten years by Stanley Krippner. Address: Department of Psychiatry, Maimonides Medical Center, 4802 10th Ave., Brooklyn, NY 12219.
