Two traditions of dream reading

Dream Journal

Write what you remember of a dream below. We will pull out the symbols we recognize, read each one in the tradition you choose, and surface any pairings the tradition has notes on. For a full written interpretation by Dylan, see the instant interpretation.

The 2nd-century Greek master of dream interpretation. Artemidorus collected thousands of dreams and tracked which ones came true under which circumstances. His rule: a symbol's meaning depends on who is dreaming it, what they hope for, and what is happening in their waking life.

We'll match the symbols below from your text. Plural forms are OK.

Each symbol — Artemidorus

  • dog

    creatures, instincts

    If favorable: A friendly dog signifies a faithful friend or servant; a hunting dog at your heel means assistance in a venture.

    If shadowed: A dog that bites or chases foretells betrayal by a person you have trusted — often someone you have fed.

  • house

    where the dream is set

    If favorable: Your own house in good order is the augury of inner balance.

    If shadowed: A ruined or unfamiliar house warns of trouble at the foundation of your affairs.

For an interpretation that ties these symbols together into a single woven reading, written for you — drawing from both Artemidorus and the Jungian frame — let the dream be read whole.
