Why do I keep dreaming about being chased? It's 3am and you're searching for that answer again. DreamMaxx gives you a better one — grounded in sleep science and dream psychology, not vague symbol clichés. Take the 60-second quiz and get your Dream Profile: • YOUR DREAM ARCHETYPE — which of the 8 dreamer types are you? The Haunted, The Voyager, The Free-Faller, The Deep Diver, The Metamorph, The Performer, The Runner or The Silenced. • YOUR DREAM SCORE — a 0–100 read on how you dream, with 5 subscores: recall, emotional tone, symbol intensity, lucidity and sleep context. • TOP SYMBOL DECODED — what your most frequent dream theme usually reflects about your waking life. • YOUR 7-NIGHT DREAM PROTOCOL — five evidence-informed actions, each with the why (real citations, on a real sources screen) and the how. • MORNING CHECK-IN + DREAM LOG — 3 taps and one line before the dream fades. Build the streak, watch your score climb, keep every dream in your journal. • SHARE YOUR ARCHETYPE — compare with your friends. Which one are they? DreamMaxx reads dreams as reflections of the dreamer, not as messages about what's coming. Decoding them is a way of understanding yourself. Every recommendation links to published research on the Sources & science screen. DreamMaxx Pro unlocks your full decode with an auto-renewing subscription (weekly or annual). Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.
