About the author
Betty Bethards (1930s–2011) was an American psychic and spiritual teacher who founded the Inner Light Foundation, a California-based organization built around meditation, dream work, and her own psychic counseling. She is best known for "The Dream Book: Symbols for Self Understanding", a dream-symbol dictionary that has sold in the hundreds of thousands of copies and appears here in a revised edition from New Century Publishers with more than 2,000 entries. Her other title in this catalogue, published in Spanish as "La Muerte No Existe" by Obelisco, draws on her own reported experiences to discuss meditation and preparation for dying. Bethards worked within the American psychic and New Age counseling tradition rather than academic parapsychology, and her books are aimed at general readers seeking practical symbol interpretation and spiritual reassurance rather than scholarly analysis.
