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 cards: one direction, and the reason behind it rather than the word on its own.

Why two cards and not one

A single card answering yes or no is a coin with pictures on it. You already own a coin.

The second card is what makes it worth doing. The first gives the direction, the second gives the reason, and the reason is the part you can actually use. A yes you understand is a different thing from a yes you were handed.

What a yes or no question is really asking

Most of the time, somebody asking a card for a yes has already decided and wants permission. That is not a criticism, it is just what the question usually is, and knowing it changes how you read the answer.

The useful test is your reaction. If the card says no and your stomach drops, you wanted a yes, and now you know something you did not know a minute ago. That is the reading, and it happens whichever way the cards fall.

What it will not answer

Questions about your health, your safety, a legal matter or somebody else's wellbeing. It says so and stops instead of drawing.

Those questions deserve a person with the relevant training, and a card that answers them is worse than no answer at all.

Questions

Can I ask the same question again?
You can, and the honest advice is not to. Asking until you get the answer you wanted is the oldest way to waste a reading.
What if the answer is neither?
Some cards do not resolve into yes or no, and when that happens it says so rather than forcing it. A question that will not resolve is usually the wrong question.
Is the draw random?
It is drawn from your question, so the same question gives the same cards. Changing a word changes the draw.
Do I need birth details?
No. Only the question.
