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.

Two letters, and an honest account of where they come from.

How this actually works

It asks you which sounds feel right in your mouth, and then it works from your answer. It is not reading the future and it does not claim to. Nothing can tell you the initials of somebody you have not met.

We say this at the top rather than at the bottom in small print, because the version of this reading sold everywhere else is sold as prophecy, and it is the same mechanism underneath.

Why it is still worth doing

People have strong, immediate, unexamined preferences about names, and those preferences carry a lot of history. A name you reject quickly is usually attached to somebody specific.

The interesting part of this reading is not the two letters it gives back. It is which options you discarded without thinking, and how fast. Pay attention to that and the reading does something a prediction never could.

What to do with the result

Not watch for it. Treating two letters as a filter on who you talk to is the fastest way to turn a small amusement into a bad decision.

Read it as a record of a preference you did not know you had that strongly, and then forget the letters.

Questions

Is this real?
It is a real description of your own preferences. It is not a real prediction, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
Why does it ask about sounds rather than letters?
Because people respond to how a name sounds long before they think about how it is spelled, and the fast reaction is the informative one.
Will I meet somebody with these initials?
Roughly as often as chance would suggest, which is often enough that people find it convincing. That is the mechanism, and it is better to know it.
Can I run it more than once?
Yes. Answering it twice a few weeks apart and getting different letters tells you something about where you are, rather than about who is coming.
