Lauri is a Certified Dream Analyst, syndicated columnist, authoress, popular radio personality and member of ASD, the Association for the Study of Dreams, an international organization whose purpose, among other things, is to conduct and encourage research into the nature, function, and significance of dreaming.

She spent much of her childhood keeping a dream journal in order to capture all those wonderful and strange adventures she experienced every night. Once she grew up and realized that she wasn't being magically transported to some bizarre foreign land with pink fuzzy trees and twenty-foot tall people she decided to dedicate herself to finding the answers we all seek within our dreams.

Lauri studied Dream Psychology and became certified as a Dream Analyst under the tutelage of Katia Romanoff, Ph.D. in 1996. Armed with this exciting understanding of the dreaming mind, Lauri launched The Dream Zone®, a weekly dream interpretation column, which helps readers understand how the strange imagery in their dreams is actually helping them to solve problems. The Dream Zone now has over 2.5 million readers and is published in dozens of weekly alternatives and dailies and appears on over twenty-five online mags throughout the country and in Canada.

Soon to follow the column was TheDreamZone.com, a high traffic web site that offers one on one dream interpretation services, an online gift shop, celebrity dreams, articles and more where a percentage of all proceeds is donated to the charity Prevent Child Abuse America.

In order to promote The Dream Zone column and TheDreamZone.com, Lauri began booking herself on radio stations, of all formats, all across the country doing live dream and nightmare interpretations for the listeners. The response from listeners and DJs alike was so positive she was continually asked to come back. She now is a recurring guest on over thirty five different stations across the country and in Canada and the list continues to grow!

Lauri has also been a recurring guest on such nationally syndicated radio shows as The Doug Bank’s Morning Show, Art Bell's "Coast to Coast," “Night Calls” on Playboy Radio, Nights with Alice Cooper and Leeza Gibbon’s Leeza at Night. She has appeared on Memphis and Las Vegas TV and has her own recurring segment on Nashville’s NBC afternoon magazine show More at Mid-day. Such prominent papers as The Seattle Times, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Tennesseean and The Denver Post have written articles on Lauri and her fascinating career.

Most recently, she was featured in Jane Magazine on How to Have a Sex Dream and appeared on ABC’s
The View to discuss nightmares for their Halloween episode, on Good Morning America to analyze Desperate Housewives’ character Lynette’s suicide dream and on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 answering viewer’s dream questions.

In July of 2003, Lauri’s self-published and self illustrated book So, What Did You Dream Last Night? was released after the much awaited anticipation of her listeners and readers. She is currently writing a children’s book inspired by a dream her son Jacob had about a Popsicle shaped monster!

Lauri currently resides in Nashville, TN with her "strikingly handsome husband and very loud son." She holds a black belt in Tae Kwon Do in order to keep them both in line.
