Have you ever had a spiritual dream that illuminates an aspect of your life to bring you clarity and purpose?
Or a dream so luminous that it seems to show you the very nature of life, death and the universe?
These are dreams that can light up a dark night of the soul and provide us with immeasurable solace. Carl Jung called such life changing dreams “the richest jewel[s] in the treasure-house of psychic experience”.

When I was researching grief dreams for Mindful Dreaming, I came across an intensely spiritual dream that I knew would enrich my book. It belongs to Dr. Laurel Clark, President Emeritus of the School of Metaphysics in Missouri. The night after 9/11, Laurel dreamed of seeing her deceased husband in radiant health. He was helping souls who died in the World Trade Center, and told her, “Once they’re out, they’re fine!” With a whoosh of exhilaration, Laurel understood that once they are out of the body, their spirits are free. This dream subsequently helped Laurel to counsel people suffering from the loss of a loved one, or facing death themselves.
Laurel Clark is the author of Intuitive Dreaming, a chapter author for Dreams that Change Our Lives, and a long-serving member of the Executive Committee of the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD). She has kept a regular dream journal for four decades and loves to increase her knowledge and wisdom in applying the messages from her dreams to her life so she can know herself more deeply.
Laurel said to me: “I believe that people are inherently spiritual beings and that our dreams connect us with our soul and spirit.”
Spiritual dreams can give us immense soul-comfort, guidance, and affirmation that we’re on the right path in life. In this DreamTime article, Laurel shares a spiritual affirmation dream she had in her early twenties, which changed her life. Click here or on the cover of DreamTime to read more.
I am losing my ability to fly ar will. I have been able to since childhood. Now, within a dream, I get confused as to why this is happening. I recall this from dream night to dream night.
This can be linked to a growing lack of confidence or faith… but the best way to find out is to unwrap the dream and look at your emotions within it. My book Mindful Dreaming has tips on how to unpack dreams.
I had a dream today,
A character of a game (who is actually on the sorta say dark side. Is somehow my brother soul wise. I dont got a brother i real life)
He said he would join me to the path of light.
I assume guiding instead of actually joining because he is actually evil.
What does this path to the light mean?
Hi Laetitia,
since this is your dream only you can really know what it means. I would suggest working with the dream to find out why someone you consider “evil” wishes to join you on the path of light. Try re-entering the dream in a relaxed state with closed eyes, and dreaming it forward or asking questions to discover more about it. Many ways of working with dreams are in Dream Therapy (Mindful Dreaming is the US title).
Thanks for sharing,
Clare
Briefly, what should I do to focus on dreaming. I rarely remember my dreams, but I wake up often with anxiety. On the “other side” I also wake up with an answer to questions and problems. Which of your books or audios addresses these issues?
Hi Kathy, look for Dream Therapy (US title is Mindful Dreaming). Also The Art of Transforming Nightmares (which came out today in the US). Waking up with anxiety indicates unrestful dreams, try deep relaxation during the day, such as yoga nidra, I just created a full video course with audio journeys on this topic, http://www.deepluciddreaming.com/video-courses/ Hope this helps!
