The practice

Speak the dream before it fades. Then work with it, four ways.

Wake up, open the app, and talk (or type). Your dream becomes text on your device, ready to explore in conversation: analysis that asks one good question at a time, active imagination with the figures who visited you, a small ritual to carry the dream into your day, or gentle reworking of a nightmare toward an ending you choose.

Every conversation draws on the personal and the archetypal, in plain language, with a real clinician's method behind it.

Everything you record becomes a dream journal that is genuinely yours: searchable, private, and kept. Months from now you can return to the dream you almost forgot and find that it was the beginning of something.

A Dream Journal That Keeps

Speak or type the dream the moment you wake. Every entry stays, private and searchable, so the record grows with you.

✦

Four Dream Tools

Analyze, Active Imagination, Find a Ritual, and Rework a Nightmare, each held in Rachael's approach.

✦

Your Symbols, Over Time

The app notices what recurs. Water in seven dreams means something, and yours is the meaning that counts.

The symbol dictionary

Nearly two hundred symbols, illustrated by the masters.

From teeth and towers to the ocean and the owl: a reference drawn from the depth psychology tradition, illustrated with public domain works by Hokusai, Goya, Doré, and their peers. Each entry ends with a question worth sitting with.

And beside the collective meanings, your own: a personal symbolism library that grows with every dream you record.

How the work is done

A century of practice, distilled into something you can actually do.

Depth psychology is a living body of practice, and these are the methods at its heart. This school of dream work shaped how Rachael works in the room, and she built Did You Dream? to carry it forward: the same practice, made into a tool you can use on your own.

Amplification

Setting a dream image beside the myths and stories that share its shape, so its meaning has room to open.

Active imagination

Meeting a figure from the dream in dialogue and letting it speak, rather than explaining it away.

The dreamer decides

A century of dream work agrees on one rule: no one can tell you what your dream means. The work is helping you find it.

Created by

Rachael Chatham, LCMHC

A licensed clinical mental health counselor in Asheville, North Carolina, with more than twenty years of practice. Her work integrates depth psychology, schema therapy, attachment theory, and somatic awareness, with training in Jungian and transpersonal psychology, Buddhist contemplative practice, and dreamwork.

She calls it soul-centered work rather than surface-level coping skills: bringing unconscious patterns into conscious awareness so people can move past insight into real change. Did You Dream? is that approach, translated into something you can hold in your hand at 3 a.m.

The app is an educational companion for reflection, not therapy, and it knows the difference. It will always point you toward a human when a human is what you need.
