Dreams about your own death
Dreams of one's own death are more common than most people expect - dying inside the dream, or witnessing it, and often continuing past it. Heavy in the telling, and frequently described as calm.

What the graph sees
Every dream logged to Dreamgraph is read once, privately, to identify the themes it included - then it joins the graph as anonymous data. Dreamgraph doesn't interpret dreams. It counts them, maps them, and watches for the moments when many people dream the same thing at once.
