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.
Or tap symbols — pick as many as you like
Each symbol — Artemidorus
wedding
the dreamer's condition
If favorable: A wedding feast foretells joy in the family, even when no actual wedding is near.
If shadowed: An interrupted wedding warns against speaking too soon of a happy plan.
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.
sea
elements, landscape
If favorable: A calm sea is the augury of safe ventures and good return.
If shadowed: A stormy sea foretells turmoil in affairs, particularly trade and travel.
