DreamEvaluator started in a Facebook group.

Thousands of people were posting their dreams there every month. Vivid ones. The kind you wake up from at 3 a.m. and can’t shake. The same symbols kept showing up, so we started interpreting them one by one, and the group grew to around 6,700 members.

This site is where those interpretations live now: a growing dream dictionary, a free guide to the 50 most common symbols, and the community that started it all.

How we read dreams

We start with your brain.

Dreams are your mind doing its night shift. It files away the day and sorts through whatever has your attention. Stress shows up. So do the people you can’t stop thinking about. That is where every interpretation on this site begins, because it’s the one explanation that holds for everyone.

If you read dreams spiritually, that layer is here too, treated with respect. It just never comes first. Psychology leads, and the symbolic and spiritual readings follow for those who want them.

Most dream sites pick a side. Either every dream is your subconscious processing emotions, or every dream is a message from somewhere else. We think that’s a false choice. Your brain does real work while you sleep, and meaning can live on more than one level at once.

What you’ll find here

The dream dictionary is the core of the site. Each entry covers one common symbol or theme. The psychological reading comes first, then the spiritual and cultural readings for those who want them.

We also publish guides for specific readers, like our parents’ guide to kids’ dreams. Recent guides include our deep dive into pregnancy dreams. We also cover the harder topics,

like dreams about someone who has died.

Popular articles include our guide to the failing-a-test dream. We also decode the classics, like the naked-in-public dream. Start with our guide to what your dreamer type reveals about your dreams.

We also explore modern dream phenomena like angel numbers. Curious what the world is dreaming about right now? Read the latest Dream Trends report.

The free guide, The 50 Most Common Dream Symbols, is the fastest way in. It’s the short version of everything we know, and it lands in your inbox a couple of minutes after you sign up.

And the Facebook group is still going: around 6,700 people trading dreams and comparing notes. You’re welcome whether you dream every night or can’t remember your last one.
