A compassionate dream intuitive, lively speaker, and inspiring teacher, the founder of Deep Well and Productive Slumber, Lael Gold, Ph.D., provides individual healing guidance and group programs to clients worldwide. A 2001 Mellon Fellow and award-winning writer and educator, Lael created and taught literature, film, and writing courses for over eight years at U.C. Berkeley where she earned her doctorate in 2004. Much to her own surprise, a health crisis led her away from academia and toward the healing arts. She delights in assisting others in deepening their connection with the smartest, most loving part of themselves and in remembering their own deep wellness. Humor and play are hallmarks of her work.

When asked what my Ph.D. in comparative literature has to do with working with dreams, I explain that it's essentially the same field but with a twist. Rather than working from books, I now help people compare the story they are telling themselves moment after moment, day in and day out with the much larger story that the deepest, truest, most fearless part of themselves is telling. What if you consider yourself a limerick when you are really an expansive, playful, poetic, seemingly endless yet utterly compelling, charming and brilliant postmodern novel?! May you never again miss out on the powerful, wonderful, sometimes very funny wisdom that emerges from within.
