Dream telepathy is the name for the ability to communicate telepathically with another person whilst one is dreaming. Deborah Erickson describes telepathic dreaming as telepathic communication facilitated through meditation, a quiet mind, and a consciousness level outside of time and space. Some examples of dream telepathy can also be predictive dreaming or psychological dreaming. The first person in modern times to recognize and record scientific findings on telepathic dreaming was Sigmund Freud. Since then, many experiments have been conducted in order to learn more about dream telepathy. In the 1940s it was the subject of the Eisenbud-Pederson-Krag-Fodor-Ellis controversy, the full detailed history of which can be found in Devereux 1953. The controversy is named after the preeminent psychoanalysts of the time who were involved in it: Jule Eisenbud, Geraldine Pederson-Krag, Nandor Fodor, and Albert Ellis.

Famous quotes containing the word dream:
“Let us pardon him his hope of a vain apocalypse, and of a second coming in great triumph upon the clouds of heaven. Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?”
—Ernest Renan (1823–1892)
