Exploring Your Dream Dashboard 📊

The Dream Dashboard is where your individual dreams become a bigger picture. As you complete interpretations, DreamNav automatically extracts insights - symbols, emotions, and themes - and weaves them into a living portrait of your inner life over time.

Two levels of insight

The dashboard works at two levels:

Per-dream insights

Every time a dream interpretation completes, DreamNav generates a per-dream insight - a structured analysis of that single dream. Open it from the dream's dashboard panel to see:

• •A summary of the dream's core message.
• •A symbol dictionary - the key symbols from this dream and what they mean.
• •The emotional arc - the dominant emotions and their intensity.
• •Reflection prompts - questions to sit with, drawn from the reading.

Longitudinal insights

Once you've completed at least two dreams, DreamNav unlocks your longitudinal dashboard - patterns that only emerge across many dreams:

• •Recurring symbols - the images and themes that show up again and again in your dreams, with how often they appear.
• •Emotional patterns - your dominant emotions over time and the contexts they appear in.
• •A psychological summary - an overview of your inner state based on your dream patterns.
• •Your dream journey - a narrative of how your themes have evolved.
• •Actionable insights - real-life suggestions drawn from your patterns.

Why two dreams? A single dream is a snapshot. Patterns need repetition to become visible. Once you have two completed interpretations, the longitudinal view starts filling in - and it gets richer with every dream you add.

Opening the dashboard

From the Dream Lab:

1. •Click the Dashboard icon in the sidebar (or the drawer button at the top of the dream list).
2. •The dashboard slides in as a drawer over your dream list.
3. •If you have a dream selected, you'll see that dream's per-dream insight. Switch to the longitudinal view to see your patterns across all dreams.

When insights are generated

Per-dream insights are generated automatically when a dream's interpretation completes - you don't need to do anything. Longitudinal insights are refreshed as you add more completed dreams, so the dashboard gets richer over time.

If your dashboard shows an empty state, it usually means you haven't completed enough interpretations yet. Record and interpret a couple of dreams and check back.

Making sense of the patterns

The longitudinal dashboard is most powerful as a journal of your inner life. Over weeks and months, you may notice:

• •A symbol that recurs during stressful periods.
• •An emotion that intensifies around certain life events.
• •A theme that evolves as you work through something in waking life.

These patterns are the real reward of keeping a dream journal - and DreamNav surfaces them for you automatically, so you don't have to go hunting.
