picked this up because I tend to like nonfiction about parapsychology but I realized while reading it that what I like about this genre is the interesting personal experiences of psychics, astral projectors, mediums, etc. and/or an engaging methodological approach to a pseudoscientific topic. despite the promising subject matter, Dream Telepathy offers neither. the anecdotal experiences are extremely tedious. the introductory chapters attempt to lend the subject of dream telepathy an air of credibility but fail utterly; it’s telling that many of the supposedly scientifically rigorous examples are taken from the lives of the authors themselves, colleagues from their work at the American Society of Psychical Research, their wives, etc. very boring AND bad science.

for examples of interesting personal experiences of parapsychological phenomena I recommend:

Astral Projection by Oliver Fox (a great book)

The Psychic World of Peter Hurkos by Norma Browning

Grasshopper Woman: Medium in Training by Laura Chase

for an example of a methodologically gripping study of paranormal experience I (highly) recommend:

The Terror That Comes in the Night: An Experience-Centered Study of Supernatural Assault Traditions by David J. Hufford
