What do the AI dream analysts do?

The AI dream analysts The AI dream analysts offer personalized interpretations of your dreams, each based on their unique backgrounds and personalities. You can choose from over 40 different dream analysts, offering both serious and humorous analysis of your dream journal entries.

Serious AI analysts will offer sincere and deeply contemplated analysis of your dream journal entry, drawn from their own carefully selected personal experiences, cultures, academic, and or spiritual backgrounds. Humorous AI analysts are more relaxed and provide often silly, but certainly funny results!

How do I search journal entries?

While logged into your account, you'll see a search bar in the top navbar across all app pages. This search bar will match against content in your dream journal's "Dream Name" and "Dream Details" text.

What are the journal entry attributes?

When adding a new dream, you will have a series of sliders that let you quickly qualify some key attributes of your dream. These attributes help you track changes in your dream activity over time and provide valuable data for our AI analysts to better understand the impact of your dreams.

• sleep quality - How restful and satisfying was your sleep session?
• lucidity - How much control did you feel over the dream?
• vividity - How intense and colorful was the content of the dream?
• detail - How complex and detailed did the dream feel?
• recall - How much of the dream can you clearly recall?
• prophetic meaning - How much of the dream felt to be predictive of future events?
• personal relevance - How much of the dream felt directly tied to your personal life?
• dream length - How long was this dream in relative comparison?
• recurrent themes - How much of the dream content seemed to contain recurring themes?

How do I track my dreams with the analytics tools?

In addition to the AI analysis feature, which consumes credits, we also offer free analytics tools to help you better understand your dream journal data.

These tools include graphs that show changes in dream attributes (like vividness, lucidity, etc.) over time, so that you can track key attributes that you're interested in and see how your routines, bed time, etc. may affect your sleep and dream quality.

Beyond dynamic graph generation we have an automated theme detection system that automatically analyzes your dream content for common themes and delivers clear, easy to understand cards, so you can see what your most common dream content is, of course the more data you add the more reflective of your inner self this list will become.

We also provide a word cloud which is the result of a deep analysis of the text descriptions you provide and allows you to visually explore the connections certain words have to your dream journal entries. The larger the word, the more often it shows up in your dream descriptions. Each word in the word cloud is a link, when you click it you will automatically be redirected to journal entries that contain the word.

How do I share a dream journal entry?

After you add a dream it will appear on your journal page and it will have a 'Share this dream' button at the bottom of the entry. Generating a shared dream link will create a publicly accessible URL that requires no login or account to view. This shared page will contain your dream journal entry (just as you see it in your dream journal) and any AI analyses you've done for that particular entry. Once a dream has been shared, you can manage the shared link directly from the dream journal page. You can enable or disable this link at any time. When you delete a dream entry from your journal, this also removes the shared link.

What are Milestones, Titles, and Quests?

These are achievements or recognitions of your progress that sometimes include rewards like bonus credits. You can track your Milestones, Titles, and Quests from within the Profile page.

If you want to see more information about a particular Milestone, Title or Quest - you can click on the individual card for more information (i.e. How it was unlocked, or if it included bonus credits). Clicking it again will close the expanded card. You can also set your chosen title on this page (Though we don't quite have any functional use for this title just yet!)

How do the tutorials work?

When you first visit a page in the app (Dashboard, Journal, Analytics, or Profile), a guided tutorial will walk you through its main features. These tutorials explain how to add a dream entry, use analytics, and track your progress and they can be skipped if you'd rather not follow them.

Can I delete a journal entry?

Yes, you can delete any journal entry from the Journal page. Just find the entry you want to delete and click the red circle in the upper right-hand side of the journal entry. You will be asked to confirm you wish to delete the entry. Once a dream entry is deleted, it cannot be recovered. NOTE: This will also delete/remove any associated shared link.
