One dream a day. Four symbols. Three tries.
Read the short dream below and pick the symbol it points to. Everyone who plays today gets the same dream, and a new one lands tomorrow. A green square on your first try is the result worth sharing.
Yellow means your guess lives in the same neighborhood as the answer. A black square means cold. Use all three tries or find it sooner. Either way, the meaning and the full symbol page open up when you finish.
