Capture your dreams before they fade and build a more consistent lucid dreaming practice. Lucidity Level brings your dream journal, personalised quests, collectible vessels, lucid dreaming techniques, WBTB alarms, goals and insights together in one immersive experience. YOUR DREAM JOURNAL Record dreams, lucid dreams, nightmares and fragments. Add tags, emotions, ratings and dream signs, or capture a voice recording when writing feels too slow. Optional transcription helps turn recordings into journal entries. DREAM COLLECTIONS Keep related dreams together in folders or collectible vessels. Discover vessels naturally as you journal, then watch your dreams drift and interact inside them. Tap a floating dream to revisit its entry. Every earned vessel is yours to keep, including duplicates. QUESTS, LEVELS & REALMS Build consistency with quests tailored to your activity and experience. Earn XP, explore immersive realms and work toward meaningful rewards. Your practice can progress even on nights when you don't become lucid. DREAM SIGNS & INSIGHTS Explore recurring people, places, themes and dream signs. Compare the dreams behind a pattern, see recent emotions and follow changes in recall and lucidity over time. A PRACTICE THAT'S YOURS Explore guided lucid dreaming techniques, set personal dream goals and keep an intention in focus for tonight. Reality-check reminders and Wake Back To Bed alarms help you shape your own routine. SLEEP INSIGHTS With your permission, use Apple Health sleep data to explore sleep patterns alongside your dream practice. Lucidity Level does not write to Apple Health and is not a medical device. YOUR JOURNAL, YOUR CHOICE Use the app without an account and keep your journal on your device. With Pro, choose iCloud sync or sign in with Apple, Google or email for automatic Lucidity Level account backup. Account backups include your dreams, recordings, collections, goals and progression. The two cloud options are kept separate, and you choose which journal to use when connecting or restoring. Import journal entries or export them as PDF, CSV or text. These entry exports are separate from a complete account backup. Manage your account and delete its server data from within the app. LUCIDITY LEVEL PRO Get started for free. Pro expands your practice with unlimited folder and vessel collections, automatic account backup or iCloud sync, the complete technique library, advanced alarms, transcription, deeper insights and more. Vessel discoveries are available to free and Pro members; Pro expands how many collections you can use. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings. Deleting an app account does not cancel an Apple subscription. Start with the next dream you remember.

DreamMap is a quiet place to map what your dreams already know. Capture your dreams while they're fresh. Watch them reveal patterns over time. Read them through centuries of accumulated wisdom — not new-age guesswork, but real interpretive traditions, cited and grounded. — Capture is fast. Tap the microphone and speak. Apple's on-device speech recognition turns it into text instantly. Audio never leaves your phone. A gentle morning notification helps you catch dreams while they're still vivid. — Every reading is grounded. DreamMap pairs your dream with symbol interpretations drawn from Jung's archetypes, Freud's symbolism, Artemidorus's Oneirocritica, Talmudic dream tradition, Hindu sources, and American folk lore. Each reading cites the source it's drawing on, so you can read deeper. — Patterns reveal themselves. As your library grows, recurring motifs surface. The Map view shows your dreams as a constellation of connections. The Analysis tab tracks how each motif evolves through the four-phase Motif Analysis and Phase Model (MAP), a peer-reviewed framework published by Jenni and Roesler in Behavioral Sciences (2024). — Weekly readings. Every week DreamMap reads your dreams as a series, not in isolation, and produces a narrative grounded in Structural Dream Analysis (Roesler), the continuity hypothesis, and your own motif trajectories. Specific to you. Cited. Yours. — Designed for your rhythm. A morning nudge for dream capture while details are still close. A quiet evening reflection ping when there's something worth noticing. Both optional, both gentle, both respect your time. — Private. Your dreams are stored under your own account and never shared. The symbolism corpus that grounds your readings was built from public-domain sources with full author attribution. For: — Long-time dream journalers who want their library to mean something — Therapists, analysts, and counselors looking for a practical SDA / MAP companion — Anyone curious about what their inner life is saying About the methodology: DreamMap's analysis is grounded in peer-reviewed Jungian dream research, particularly the Motif Analysis and Phase Model (Jenni & Roesler, Behavioral Sciences, 2024) and Roesler's Structural Dream Analysis. Where it draws on individual symbol traditions, it cites them by name — Jung, Freud, Artemidorus, Talmudic, Hindu, or American folk — so every reading can be verified and explored further.
