Make yourself a coffee and write down what stayed with you from the night. Your dream is a story. Not a code to crack. A story shaped by your life, told in a language you already know but rarely listen to.
Not a keyword scan. Not a dream dictionary. Somniary reads the whole narrative.
A scene, a feeling, a fragment. Whatever is still with you when you open your eyes.
The whole dream. The places, the people, the tension between what happened and how it felt. Interpreted through a Jungian analytical framework.
Pick a symbol. Follow a thread. See what your dream has to do with yesterday, or ten years ago.
Write what you remember. The colours, the feelings, the details that linger after waking. Every fragment carries meaning.
How did you feel when you woke up?

Two weeks before his assassination, he dreamed of weeping in the East Room of the White House. He approached a covered corpse and asked who had died. The President, came the answer.
Dozing by the fireplace, he saw atoms dancing in chains. One chain seized its own tail and revolved before him. He woke knowing benzene was a ring.
She saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. She woke terrified, and the novel began the next morning.
He woke with a complete melody in his head and ran to the piano to play it before it slipped away. For weeks he asked everyone where the song was from.

Jung saw every dream character as a fragment of you. The Shadow, the Anima, active imagination — and how to use them on your own dreams.
Jungian analysis doesn't look up symbols in a dictionary. It asks what the symbol means to you.

REM sleep, memory consolidation, the prefrontal cortex going dark while the visual cortex lights up. The neuroscience behind the strangeness.
Your dreaming brain is almost as active as your waking brain — just wired differently.
