## What is dreamcatcher?

Thank you for checking out dreamcatcher - the app that’s 10% technology and 90% magic. 

This app was built, written, and illustrated by Evan Stites-Clayton, a skilled lucid dreamer with 10+ years of experience and the ability to lucid dream on command. Evan has taught hundreds of people how to lucid dream and he hopes you’ll join them as you begin your journey into dream practice with dreamcatcher.

Dreamcatcher uses a simple system to deliver mini-lessons each day that last for less than 5 minutes each, and teach the basics of dream practice (such as dream journaling) along with more advanced techniques such as lucid dreaming all over a short, approximately two week long guide course. 

As you work your way through the guide, you’ll unlock more chapters of the book, which contains everything from the guide along with more detailed information and trade secrets that every dreamer will benefit from.

Dreamcatcher is a great way to start your journey into dream practice - the art of making your dreams a meaningful part of your life. Even for those with more experience, it can be used to help refresh and reinforce those dreaming muscles!

If you have any questions or feedback about the app - we welcome input. You can reach Evan directly at evan [at] dreamlabs [dot] tech.

### 5/5 — Fire

*2026-06-07, version 0.7*

The vibes, the style, everything is near perfect. have yet to finish yet but I have started to remember dreams now that I otherwise would have just forgotten about. You did an outstanding job on this I have never seen an app like this before.

### 5/5 — YES!!!

*2026-02-19, version 0.7*

i’m so grateful to find this again. this is the only app that truly helped me to lucid dream! tysm!!

### 5/5 — CRIMINALLY Underrated.

*2024-12-27, version 0.7*

I had used this app a few years back. I have just recently come back to this app with my interest in lucid dreaming escalating again. The interface makes it VERY DIFFICULT TO NOT EXPERIENCE A LUCID DREAM. Of course you need to follow along but I can say that this is my favorite way to learn lucid dreaming after doing so, so many times. The creativity that goes into this app is mind blowing to me. Every step is one that makes you want to get closer to achieving the lucid state in a dream.

### 2/5 — Beautiful app, confusing design

*2023-04-13, version 0.7*

The app itself is beautifully designed, well written and sends you encouraging reminders which is great!
However, the usability is very poor and as a user I’m incredibly frustrated when trying to progress through the app.
At the start it tells you that in order to answer questions, you must swipe up for yes and down for no, or up for no and down for yes, the point being I can’t remember which and it hasn’t been explained since. 
Due to this I’m constantly being ‘locked out’ of the app and told to come back tomorrow once I’ve completed a task (which I’ve done, but I’ve just swiped the wrong way as there’s no explanation, just a blank screen). You’re then not able to go back and change your answer if you made a mistake. 
So far I’ve only managed to move forward a few days and right now I’m locked out again as I thought I’d clicked yes based on doing the opposite I did yesterday, but it still thought I said ‘no’. 
If the app gets an update, please, please add boxes for users to click on that clearly state ‘yes’ or ‘no’ OR explain which way to swipe there and then so it’s easier for people to understand. 
I’d love to give more than 2 stars but at the moment I can’t get to the rest of the app to even see it.

### 5/5 — First dream

*2022-11-28, version 0.7*

I finished the course without having a lucid dream but have kept the sleep journal going for a few more days. This morning I woke up to realise I was in a lucid dream. So much better than I expected and really exciting. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Need more effective apps like this

*2022-06-11, version 0.7*

Great app and very effective

### 5/5 — Yes.

*2022-01-02, version 0.7*

I got distracted and was unable to update the app for awhile, Eventually the app sent me a notification saying “it loved me & i could come back at anytime”, I really needed that, thank you dreamcatcher

### 5/5 — 💖

*2021-07-06, version 0.7*

I’ve had an amazing journey with this app. It helped me so much!! I also learned so much using the different features. I got the opportunity to lucid so many times. This app is great for both beginners and pros. I originally downloaded this app to help me shift. I wanted to try the Lucid Dreaming Method, but this app is so cute and helps with many more things. It even reminds you to do reality checks ever so often.

### 5/5 — Seems good

*2021-06-12, version 0.7*

Only just started using this so don’t know if it works, but it gets you to use dream journal which I’ve read does help. It also helps you remember to do things like last night it told me to check the app in the morning and I remembered to. I also remembered part of a dream after saying I didn’t remember any so I’ve put that in my dream journal. If tells you to write something in your dream journal when you wake up even if it’s just that you don’t remember any dreams so I think that will help me remember more.

### 5/5 — i love this app sm

*2021-05-15, version 0.7*

so i’m a shifter but i decided to take a break from it and try to lucid dream instead and this app is amazing. like the notifications are crazy cute and it works really well. all my dreams have been vivid. i 1000%recommend this app to anyone who wants to lucid dream
