What are your dreams telling you?

Most dreams do not last as far as the morning coffee. But a feeling is left behind: peace, unease, longing or an urgency that cannot be explained. The tradition of dream interpretation is really an effort to give that feeling a name.

This quiz does not ask which dream you had — because you do not remember it anyway. It asks how you have been falling asleep, what you feel when you wake up and what has been occupying your mind lately.

What the result gives you

The result links to one of the dream interpretation pages on the site. More than three hundred interpretations are on file; the page for your result sets out the traditional readings of that dream.

Note: Dream interpretation is a cultural accumulation, not a scientific tool of prediction. It is read for fun.
