When Do Dreams Happen?
A night's sleep cycles roughly every 90 minutes. REM stages — where vivid dreams occur — grow longer toward morning.
REM Sleep — Your brain is nearly as active as when awake, and your eyes move rapidly. Vivid, story-like dreams happen mostly during REM.
Why We Remember Morning Dreams — You need to wake during or just after a REM period to remember the dream. Since REM gets longer toward dawn, morning dreams stick.
How to Catch a Dream — Before moving when you wake, hold onto one image. Then jot down three words on a bedside note.

What is a combination reading?
When multiple symbols appear in the same dream, selecting them together generates a combination reading that interprets how the symbols interact and what they mean as a group, including an overall fortune score.
What does the fortune score mean?
Each symbol has a fortune score: Auspicious (75+) suggests a positive omen, Neutral/Conditional (55-74) suggests context-dependent meaning, and Caution/Warning (below 55) suggests something to be mindful of. These are based on traditional dream interpretation frameworks.
Is dream interpretation scientific?
Dream interpretation draws on both traditional cultural frameworks and modern psychological perspectives (Freud, Jung). It is not predictive or statistically validated — meanings vary with the dreamer's personal circumstances and emotions.
