Kelly Bulkeley (born 1962) is an American author and researcher in the fields of dreams and the psychology of religion.
A Past President of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD), he is currently a senior editor of the APA journal Dreaming: The Journal of the Association for the Study of Dreams.[1] He co-wrote the 2006 film The Zodiac, which had a limited theatrical release. His surname at birth was spelled "Bulkley", and it appears this way on this film.[2] He is a descendant of Peter Bulkley, whose name also carries these two variant spellings.[2]
Bulkeley has compared dreams to a kind of 'play', in which different behaviours and strategies can be rehearsed.[4] Nightmares, for example, may be warnings that a negative occurrence is possible, and we should be prepared for it.[4]
