Pillowbook is a beautiful dream journal and personal dream decoder. Wake up, jot down whatever fragments of your dreams your sleeping mind leaves behind, and see a deep interpretation drawn from a built-in library of dream symbols and tuned to who you actually are. Most dream meaning apps hand you a generic one-size-fits-all dictionary. Pillowbook is different: every symbol, emotion, person, and place you log becomes a node in your own growing knowledge graph, so you can see which themes and people keep returning across nights and which symbols bind together to reveal the complex inner workings of your psyche.
