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.

Real insights, for a more meaningful you

Ancient wisdom for modern life.

HalfKnown works the old methods properly: the actual positions of the planets at the minute you were born, the cards you actually drew, the creases actually on your hand. Nothing is a prediction, and every page says so.

Open beta. Every reading is free while the site is new, including the ones that will be paid later. Nothing here asks for a card.

The reading comes from the card that is drawn and the question you typed, not from a general meaning printed in a book.

How the draw works

The deck is the twenty-two major arcana. No minors and no reversals, which is a deliberate choice rather than a shortcut: each card here carries three separate readings depending on the position it lands in, so the written stock is sixty-six interpretations rather than twenty-two.

The draw is made in the moment you ask, from your question, and the cards already down change how the next one reads. Ask a different question and different cards come up.

What you get before you pay

Most of these hand over a real card and its reading before anything is asked for. Card of the Day is free outright. The others open the first card in front of you and hold the rest, and you can stop at any point.

One of them shows nothing until it is paid for, and it is marked Premium rather than Unlock so you know which one that is before you start.

What a card cannot do

A card does not know what will happen. What a tarot reading is good for is the thing you already half know and have not said out loud, which is why every reading here asks what you are actually asking rather than answering the question as typed.
