How were the twelve entries chosen?

They are the twelve symbols that appear most consistently across the interpretive traditions this site draws on — ancient and folk sources, and the historical frameworks of Freud and Jung, which are contested and not evidence-based.

Why only twelve symbols?

A curated archive of twelve is honest about its limits. It can match the most common dreams well, and it says plainly when a dream falls outside it, rather than pretending to cover everything.

Are the entries predictions?

No. Every entry is a reading drawn from tradition — an interpretation, not a forecast. None of them predict what will happen to you.

The archive

12 curated symbols, written from the interpretive traditions this site draws on. Each entry has a free reading, a general meaning, and common variants — and a full expanded entry behind a single optional gate.

Filter the archive

No. 03 Being chased Something is behind you; the tradition reads the running, not the pursuer

No. 12 A partner cheating Read as a worry about trust or attention — not as evidence about what anyone has done

No. 07 Death In the interpretive tradition, almost never about literal death — usually endings and thresholds

No. 11 An ex Read as unfinished business with a version of yourself, far more often than with the person

No. 01 Falling The ground gives way — most often read as a loss of footing rather than a loss of life

No. 06 Flying Usually read as perspective and release; the altitude and the effort both carry meaning

No. 08 Naked in public Exposure and being seen before you were ready

No. 09 Pregnancy Traditionally read as something in preparation, in the dreamer's life or work

No. 05 Snakes Read two opposite ways across cultures: threat, and renewal through shedding

No. 10 Spiders Read through webs and making as often as through fear

No. 02 Teeth falling out The most reported dream in the archive; traditionally tied to being seen, speaking, and change

No. 04 Water The oldest and most elastic symbol here — its state matters more than its presence

Not in the archive?

Can't find it?

The archive holds 12 symbols, and it is honest about its limits. If your dream is not here, write it down in the interpreter — it will tell you plainly whether it matches anything, and offer the nearest entries.
