	Ex Astris Scientia - Vulcan Mind Melds
		There is overwhelming evidence that mind melds are both commonplace and socially accepted in the 23rd and at latest in the 24th century.
		Summarizing, mind melds must be common and widely accepted among Vulcans, unless most Vulcans in key roles as officers or even ambassadors were outcasts, which would be a contradiction in itself.
		In a double strike the ability to meld was said to be an anomaly, and the Pa'nar syndrome was declared an inevitable and incurable side effect of mind melds.

	Mind Hacks: Neuropsychology and Psychosis in 'A Scanner Darkly'
		By the nature of his job, the novel's protagonist is in the unenviable position of never feeling entirely grounded in a single identity, a feeling exacerbated by the fact he is frequently required to view himself in the third person when watching surveillance tapes.
		With this in mind, perhaps science-fiction can be thought of as a natural home for a literary treatment of psychosis, as high technology is often invoked in complex delusional systems as a way of explaining strange and otherwise inexplicable experiences.
		In the novel, Fred's mind and brain are regularly tested by police department psychologists, owing to the stress of both maintaining a dual identity, and taking drugs as part of his undercover life.

	Lowerdecks.com - "Stigma" Review
		Because emotions, as well as thoughts and memories, are exchanged during a mind meld, this form of intimacy is seen as defying everything that Vulcan society stands for.
		He knows that she is not, but the very act of choosing to participate in a mind meld is enough to bring scorn.
		He states that mind melds are only a different form of intimacy and those that practice them should not be subject to persecution for it.

		Hey, even T'Pau melded with Spock in "Amok Time," and a meld was necessary for bonding, and that came "from the time of the beginning"! This is only 100 years (mas o menos) for TOS--only a generation.
		It would be more likely that many/most have the ability to mind meld, but because of the dangers that Pa'nar Syndrome brings, as well as the social implications, it is very possible that many who do have the ability keep it very quiet.
		Oh, the Romulan commander and Spock in "The Enterprise Incident" is an example of Vulcan/Romulan foreplay, not necessarily prelude to mind melding.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Soval
		Soval is capable of conducting mind melds, an act considered taboo amongst Vulcans of the 22nd Century.
		In order to extract information about the bombing of Earth's embassy on Vulcan, Soval conducted a mind-meld between himself and an ailing human MACO security guard at the embassy who had witnessed the attack.
		Soval continued his criticism of Enterprise's mission, particularly after the crew, along with a group of Andorian commandos led by Commander Shran, discovered a listening post beneath the Vulcan sanctuary of P'Jem which was being used to spy on the Andorians.

	Telepathic Guidelines
		A mind-meld can be used to hone another’s telepathic skill, bear in mind that their must be some latent skill to start with.
		It is considered extremely rude to violate the privacy of another’s mind without their express permission, the exception to this would be under order of your Commanding officer, but that would bring ethical and moral issues to bear as well.
		Internal dialog is the voice in your mind, when you and debating or thinking of a way to word something properly, though to be heard by telepaths, you would have to be ‘broadcasting’ this dialogue or emotion.

		Mind melds have been used to erase memories (as Spock performed on Captain Kirk in the TOS episode "Requiem for Methuselah").
		Mind melds can also allow more than one mind to experience memories and sensations and sometimes even interact with the memories (as seen in the Voyager episode "Flashback").
		Syrran melded with the ark and received Surak's katra, which guided him into creating the Syrrannite movement which fought to restore Surak's teachings to Vulcan but was labelled a terrorist group by the Vulcan High Command.

	The Cell Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		The logic behind all the visual wizardry is that Catherine's VR psychotherapy technique allows her access to the boy's subconscious mind, but her attempts to cure him have proven unfruitful thus far.
		In addition, the symbols of Stargher's mind either have nothing whatsoever to do with the characters, like the deli-sliced horse, or are so blatantly obvious that a nine-year-old could decipher them.
		He convinces her to take a trip into Stargher's psyche, where she relives some of the horrendous childhood trauma that drove him insane (an interesting but undeveloped plot point) and confronts the murderous demon he is today.

	Meld - Memory Alpha, the Star Trek Wiki
		Tuvok leaves the brig, but returns shortly afterwards and suggests a mind meld with Suder, believing it will give him the answer he seeks and will also give Suder some of his Vulcan control.
		Tuvok tells Janeway about his mind meld with Suder, and reports that Suder was being truthful — he has an incredibly violent nature, with no outlet to express it, and he simply lost control.
		Suder muses that mind melding might be considered a form of violence, and that it might be fatal if the melder lost control.

		"The mind meld in Vulcan culture at this point in Star Trek history is only performed by a small population on Vulcan who are born with the ability," Braga said.
		"Mind melds are a form of unacceptable intimacy that many [Vulcans] find to be abhorrent behavior.

	Jim Reviews: "Meld"
		He explains the process (melds are a rarity in this series) and tells Suder that the joining of their minds should also give the man the ability to control his violent impulses, if only temporarily.
		The peek into the killer mind was interesting, and the subtle adoption of Tuvok's logic and control after the meld was effective.
		Holodoc had some great lines, raging about Vulcan mind melds from a position of superior knowledge (as opposed to Leonard McCoy's rantings about Vulcan voodoo), with a better understanding of melds and their effects than Tuvok himself.

	[VOY] Jammer's Review: "Meld"
		In a search for answers, Tuvok mind melds with the killer, only to cause his own dark side to emerge.
		Whether you see Tuvok losing control of his emotions as completely gratuitous or not, "Meld" is an effective bottle show, featuring an admirable performance by Tim Russ and a reasonably compelling story, courtesy of resident cerebral scripter Michael Piller, from a story by Michael Sussman.
		"Meld" does a respectable job of bringing up this issue and exploring it through the Suder character, and Tuvok's frustrated perplexity over this cold-blooded killer is both an interesting and appropriate idea.

	TUVOK
		As part of his investigation in to the murder of Professor Ren, Tuvok mind melds with Paris in order to witness the murder himself; he has been married for 67 years.
		Tuvok decides to acquire the trajector matrix from the Sikarians since Janeway is not ethically able to do this herself; he admits that he was the senior officer involved in the incident and expects that he will lose his commission and be court martialed because of it.
		Tuvok is able to construct a weapon from the power cells and relay circuits from the food dispensers; Tuvok says that the Starleet survival experiences seemed less of a challenge since he had already experienced the rite of Tal'oth in which he survived in the Vulcan desert for 4 months with only a ritual blade.

	Rules of Card Games: Revolution (aka Mitch)
		Since points are gained only by conquering suits (see below), players arrange their played cards in melds, lines, rows, or overlapping piles, no more than one meld per suit.
		Melds are no longer worth 1 point plus 1 per player.
		Conquering a suit is based on having a long meld, which is easiest to get by starting with high cards; Now, players are given a reason to make their melds short and start with low cards.

		The sublime Out of Mind seamlessly melds a stealth Lovecraft documentary using dialog based on his numerous personal corespondence, and story fragments from his mythos woven into a single fascinating tapestry.
		I have no doubt that, along with Carpenter's "In the mouth of madness", "Out of mind" is the masterpiece in the weird and fascinating field of the so-called Lovecraftian cinema, being in itself an excellent homage to the man and writer who now peacefully rests at Swan Point Cemetery.
		"Out of mind" deals with dreams and reality, life and art, fictional characters meeting their author, in a surprisingly subtle, intelligent and unprecedented way (at least as far as Lovecraft is concerned).

	STAR TREK BBS - Edit History
		And she is eventually overcome by all these personalities and Tuvok must enter her mind via a meld to try to help her.
		In VOY's "Cold Fire", Tuvok uses the mind meld with Kes, in a continuing "teaching" process that guides her through her continually-evolving telepathy and in "Meld" and "Basics I & II", Tuvok uses it as a psychological tool to assist Ensign Lon Suder (a Betazoid) in dealing with his terrible pathos of being a murderer.
		If in fact melding WAS "taboo", then the LOGICAL thing to do would be to recall ALL Vulcans at off-world locations, and bring them home to resolve it.

	The Cynics Corner: Voyager's "Repression"
		Even if you argue that he used mind control to get people to do things for him, and even if you factor in Starfleet's laughable security and general level of incompetence, it's a stretch.
		And so we have a mind meld that allows people to walk around in your mind ("Flashback"), a mind meld that allows people to walk around in other people's minds ("Unimatrrix Zero"), and now, a mind meld that enables a Vulcan to completely reprogram a person.
		But the Doctor, his diagnostic subroutines sabotaged by Writer Fiat, flubs the diagnosis, even though he's had plenty of experience monitoring mind melds (see "Unimatrix Zero," "Flashback," etc.) Other telegraphing included the holodeck "afterimage" which looked pretty clearly like someone about to begin a mind meld.

		The suggestion is that a "minority" have the ability to "Mind Meld" which is a specific, advanced type of telepathy.
		I think the characterization of mind melds is too hard a pill to swallow, but that's a matter of continuity.
		You see "melds" going on in flashback in ENT "The Seventh" and then you have T'Pol actually claim ignorance of "melds" in ENT "Fusion", yet in ENT "Stigma", when she undergoes interrogation by the 3 Stooges, she suddenly "remembers" that "melding" was supposedly stigmatized on Vulcan because it can cause a "disease".
