Dr. Stanley C. Krippner Ph.D. is an executive faculty member and Professor of Psychology at Saybrook University in Oakland, California. He was previously director of the Kent State University Child Study Center, and director of the Maimonides Medical Center Dream Research Laboratory in Brooklyn, New York. He has written extensively on altered states of consciousness, dream telepathy, and parapsychological subjects.
Krippner’s work falls into a particular category of approaches to dreamwork that lean heavily into scientific studies to back up their claims, which is at least better than all the metaphysical books that rely on scant anecdotal dream reports from their friends. But it also falls into a pattern that this type of more “sciencey” dream book has, which is it barely offers any actual way to work with dreams other than long lists of question asking you to reflect on your life.
