Born in Los Angeles and raised on a farm in Minnesota, Linnea Cohn spent her childhood dreaming and imagining all day long. Her fascination with dreams led her into the field of psychology and dream analysis. With an eager desire to learn, she began her master's degree at 19 years of age and finished her doctoral degree by the age of 25. Her education and intuitive skills served her well in the field of screenwriting. She was able to utilize her method of dream analysis for The Dream Factory -- a scipt that was written for Universal Pictures. From there she developed a particular style of dream analysis called psycho-reflective mapping that she utilizes in all of her other scripts and work. Linnea has also served as a literary agent and editor for numerous non-fiction books, which are currently in stores. She has also authored several children's books with her twin sister and is currently developing her own publishing company.
