Figures blend the live graph with a labelled research baseline while the graph grows. We show you real numbers, not estimates dressed up as certainty.

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.
