Understanding Credits & Plans
How credits work, what is free, the difference between subscription and permanent credits, and paid plans.
Understanding Credits & Plans 💳
DreamNav uses a credit system to keep AI interpretation affordable and flexible. This page explains how credits work, what you get for free, and what paid plans offer.
What is a credit?
A credit is a single AI interaction. Each of these uses one credit:
- •One question during the Full DreamNav Experience phase
- •One complete interpretation (the reading)
- •One follow-up message in the reflection conversation
A Direct Reading or Symbol Dictionary uses a single credit for the whole reading. A Full DreamNav Experience uses one credit per question plus one for the reading - so a 5-question session costs 6 credits.
Two kinds of credits
Your balance is made up of two pools, and they're spent in a specific order:
Subscription credits 🔄
These come with a paid plan and refresh every month. They're spent first. If your plan includes 100 subscription credits, you start each month with 100 - whether or not you used last month's.
Free starter credits are different. The 7 credits you get on signup are a one-time gift stored in this same pool - they don't refresh monthly. Once they're used, you'll need a paid plan or a one-time credit pack to continue.
Permanent credits ♾️
These come from one-time purchases and never expire. They're only spent once your subscription credits run out, so they act as a buffer that carries over month to month.
Spending order: Subscription credits are always used first. When they hit zero, permanent credits kick in. You never lose a permanent credit to the monthly refresh.
Your free starter balance
Every new account starts with free subscription credits - enough to interpret several dreams before you need to think about payment. You'll see the exact number in your sidebar.
Checking your balance
Your current credit balance is always visible in the Dream Lab sidebar. It updates after every AI interaction, so you always know where you stand.
For a detailed view - including your plan, renewal date, and purchase history - visit the Pricing page from the sidebar.
When you run out
When your balance reaches zero:
- •AI interactions are paused until you have credits again.
- •You can still read your past interpretations and use the dashboard.
- •You can still record dreams as drafts to interpret later.
To keep interpreting, you can either wait for your subscription credits to refresh (if you're on a paid plan) or add permanent credits with a one-time purchase.
Paid plans
DreamNav offers several plan types:
- •Subscriptions - A monthly or yearly recurring plan that includes a set number of subscription credits, refreshed each cycle.
- •One-time credit packs - A single purchase of permanent credits that never expire.
- •Unlimited plans - A subscription with a high monthly cap, designed for heavy users.
Visit the Pricing page to see current plans, prices, and what's included. You can upgrade, change, or cancel at any time.
Tip: If you interpret dreams regularly, a subscription is usually the best value. If you only dream-journal occasionally, a one-time credit pack may suit you better - those credits never expire.
