ONERA uses this research to bridge the gap between understanding and feeling.

Terms of Use (EULA): https://dreaminsight.app/cgu.html Privacy Policy: https://dreaminsight.app/privacy.html COMMON QUESTIONS Q: What app can interpret my dreams with AI? A: ONERA records your dream (voice or text), decodes its symbols and emotional patterns with AI, and gives you a somatic exercise to release what the dream revealed. Q: Why do I keep having the same recurring dream? A: Recurring dreams signal an unresolved emotional pattern. ONERA's Recurring Dream Tracker maps the pattern and gives you body-based exercises to work through the root cause. Q: Is there an app for somatic release and nervous system regulation? A: Yes — every ONERA dream analysis ends with a guided somatic release exercise matched to the tension your dream revealed. Q: Can an app help with shadow work and inner child healing? A: ONERA's Shadow Profile™ shows the patterns your conscious mind avoids, and its Inner Child exercises work on the root, not the symptom. Q: Is my dream journal private? A: Yes. Dreams are end-to-end encrypted. Nobody can read them but you.
