Dream Reading

Tell it what you dreamt, then choose whose tradition reads it: Thai, Chinese, Islamic or Hindu. Four of the oldest systems for reading a dream, and four different answers to the same night.

How it works

A reading of your own in four steps, and most of them are one answer.

1. ChoosePick a reading. Ten of them run all the way through for nothing.
2. Add detailsA birth date, a question, or a photograph of your hand. Never an account.
3. Get your readingComputed in this page, in a few seconds, from the real sky.
4. Come backThe sky moves. Most of these say something different tomorrow.

What this is, said plainly

Nobody can draw a person you have not met. There is no method, astrological or otherwise, that produces the face of a stranger, and anybody selling you one knows that.

What this does is different and more interesting. It asks you seven questions about who you are drawn to, what age reads as right, where a face comes from, what catches you across a room, what kind of presence a person carries, where somebody looks most like themselves, and what you actually need from them. Then it draws the answer you gave.

Why the answers are the point

Most people have never written down what they are looking for. They have a sense of it, carried around unexamined, and it quietly runs every decision they make about who to pursue and who to let go.

The questions are built to be awkward in a specific way. The last one, what you actually need from them, is not the same question as what you are drawn to, and the gap between those two answers is usually where the useful information is.

The drawing is what makes you take the questions seriously. People answer differently when something is going to be made out of it.

What you get

A graphite portrait built from your answers, and the reading that goes with it: what your choices say about the pattern you are in, including the parts that are not flattering.

If it looks like somebody you used to know, that is not the drawing being clever. That is your own answers pointing somewhere, which is worth more than a prediction would be.

Questions

Is this really my future partner?
No, and this is the only one of these you will read that says so. It is a drawing of what you described. The value is in what you described, not in a claim about the future.
What if I do not like the face?
Then the answers were not quite right, which is itself informative. You can run it again and answer differently. Most people change one answer and get something they recognise.
Do I need my birth details?
No. This one is about your answers, not your chart.
Can I use it for somebody who already exists?
You can, and people do. Answering it about a real person and seeing what comes back tends to tell you more about how you see them than about them.
