Record the fragment first
You do not need a complete story. Capture the clearest scene, waking feeling, and one possible waking-life connection before the memory fades.

How it works
A private dream journal that does less guessing.
Let repetition earn attention
The tracker counts motifs and emotions across your own entries. A frequent tag is a pattern in your notes—not a universal symbol definition.
Keep a portable backup
Export a JSON copy before clearing browser data or moving devices. Restore it later without creating an account or sending entries to Meaning Catalog.
Private journal FAQ
Before you record a dream
Can Meaning Catalog read my entries?
No. This version saves entries in your browser’s local storage and does not upload them to our server. Other people using the same browser profile may still be able to open them.
Will my journal survive if I clear browser data?
Not necessarily. Export a JSON backup first. Private-browsing modes and storage restrictions may also remove or block local entries.
Does a recurring motif reveal one fixed meaning?
No. Repetition can be worth reflecting on, but personal context matters. The counts here are observations, not predictions, diagnoses, or clinical advice.
Is the journal free?
Yes. It uses no paid interpretation API and requires no account. You control the entry, the context, and the backup file.
Choose a note that fits the question
Only a fragment left? Try the one-minute fragment note. You do not need a complete story, and a blank morning is not a diagnosis.
Thought you woke up more than once? Use the Waking-Sequence template to separate scenes from what you believed at the time.
