}An attempt was made to replicate the procedures and findings of a previous dream-telepathy study conducted at the Maimonides Dream Laboratory. In that study S had, on each of 8 laboratory sessions, placed the true target in the upper half of his rankings for dream correspondence of 8 potential targets (p = .004). S was restudied for 8 nights in a different laboratory. E signaled an acoustically isolated agent at the onset of S's REM periods to concentrate on a target (magazine illustration… Expand

Evidence was gathered to suggest that bursts of EEG sawtooth waves which often precede REMs are phasic events with mentation correlates comparable to those of REM bursts themselves and that saw tooth activity may, in fact, mark the point at which the most discontinuity is experienced in S's train of sleep thought.
