About Dr. Laurel Clark

I love education, both being a student and a teacher. Currently I serve as President of the School of Metaphysics, a not-for-profit educational organization which teaches adults how to develop the whole mind and full potential of the Self. Understanding dreams, intuition, and inner level experiences is one of the foundations of the course. I have been recording and interpreting my dreams, and teaching others how to do the same, for 30 years.

The method of interpretation I've learned and teach at the School of Metaphysics is based on the Universal Language of Mind, viewing dreams as communications from the soul to the conscious mind. The universal language is not a standard "dictionary approach"; rather, it views the "self" as a soul and the symbols in the dream as descriptions of the attitude and state of awareness of the dreamer.

I am particularly fascinated by the universal nature of the dream experience and its relationship to mythology, scripture, and other "numinous" writing. This is the basis for my interfaith ministry, interpreting scripture according to universal symbols.

I believe that when all people listen to and understand their dreams they will be happier, more fulfilled, more at peace with themselves and other people, more in tune with their spiritual nature.

Over the years I've become aware of an increasing number of precognitive dreams and visitations from deceased loved ones. A profound dream occurred the evening of September 11th, 2001, when my deceased husband who died Sept.10, 2000 appeared to me as he was helping people who died in the World Trade Center. I asked him if they were okay and he beamed a huge smile, communicating to me telepathically, "Yes, they're fine! Once they are out [of the body] they are fine!" It was a spiritually rewarding experience, to know that those who have crossed over can help others, and also to know that the pain and grief in the physical is gone once the soul leaves the body.

(For those familiar with Mayan astrology, I am a White Galactic World Bridger, guided by heart. World Bridgers have lessons regarding the "bridging of the worlds" between life and death, and between the inner levels of subconscious mind and the outer conscious mind.)
