Dream journal

Dreams fade within minutes of waking, and a few lines written at once beat a long entry written at noon. This journal is private by design: entries are saved only in this browser, on this device, and nothing is sent anywhere. It finds the dictionary symbols in each entry and shows you which ones keep coming back.

Write before you read

Record the dream first, then look up symbols. Reading an interpretation first tends to reshape what you remember.

Notice the feeling

The feeling you woke with is usually more useful than any single image. The journal asks for it for that reason.

Look for patterns, not messages

One dream is a story. A symbol that returns across weeks is a pattern, and patterns are what dream research can actually say something about.
