About

Dawning

Features
Read full description

Dawning is a dream diary that offers a reading of each dream and leaves the last word to you. Record a dream in the first minute after waking, out loud or typed. Dawning transcribes your voice on the device, pulls out the images you named, and offers a possible reading: what the specific, easily-missed details in your own words may be pointing to. It's a hypothesis, built only from what you said, and you tell it whether that resonates. The questions that follow start from your answer. This happens on your first dream. You don't wait a week to get something back. Three dreams in, your themes come together into a map: recurring images and feelings connected across the nights, with one question to carry into your week. The method comes from Clara Hill's dream work (Exploration, Insight, Action), where the dreamer decides what a dream means. WHAT'S INSIDE - A reading of every dream, built from your words and open to your yes or no - Voice-first capture: transcription happens on your iPhone, audio never leaves the device - Guided reflection: 2-3 short questions per dream, following the thread you chose - Dream map: your themes from three dreams on, plus a question of the week - Three dreams free, yours to keep DAWNING PREMIUM A yearly subscription unlocks unlimited dreams, unlimited voice recording, and the weekly map with its full history, starting with a free trial. The price and the trial length are shown in the app and in the App Store before you subscribe. Payment is charged to your Apple 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 account settings.
