Articles on dream interpretation through six psychological lenses: Jung, Freud, symbols, emotions, body, culture.
Dreams here are read the way a psychologist reads them, not the way a dream dictionary does: not «what this symbol means in general», but what it may be saying about the person who dreamt it. The same image means different things to different people — that isn't a caveat, it's the whole principle.
Every reading goes through six lenses at once: Jungian, Freudian, symbolic, emotional, somatic and cultural. They argue with each other, and that's the point — a dream rarely has one correct translation. What you won't find here: predictions, fortune-telling or promises to reveal the future.

Frequent questions
Do dream dictionaries work?
As a guide to cultural meanings — yes; as prediction — no. A table of meanings knows neither your context nor your feelings, and those are exactly what decide what the image means for you.
Why is the same symbol read differently?
Because the psyche speaks in personal experience, not in a dictionary. A falling tooth for someone afraid of ageing and for someone who just changed jobs are two different dreams behind one picture.
What if the dream was disturbing?
Anxious and aggressive images are ordinary work of the psyche; they don't predict trouble. But if a dream keeps returning or won't let go, talking to a psychologist helps more than any reading.
