On alt.dreams was posted a descriptionof a particular place, and people encouraged to get there in theirdreams. Dream logs were collected via e-mail by a person not involvedin the actual experiment, who compared the reports and looked forsimilarities. Of course, reports of different people havingconversation about the same topic, or people leaving items there andothers picking up the same items (as suggested in the experiments)were what was looked after.
