What this tool does
Look up what dreams mean — side by side from two traditions. Type the thing you dreamed about (snake, water, falling teeth, flying, being chased) and we show you two interpretations next to each other: the Chinese 周公解梦 (Zhougong's Book of Dream Interpretation) folk-tradition reading with its fortune label (吉 / 凶 / 中), and the modern depth-psychology reading drawn from Carl Jung's archetypes and Sigmund Freud's Die Traumdeutung (1900, public domain). 320+ hand-curated symbols covering people, animals, nature, objects, places, situations and emotions — the entries Chinese search-engine users actually search for (蛇, 水, 牙齿掉了, 被追, 飞, 死人, 鬼, 孩子, 蛇咬, 大水). Search by symbol, by category, or hit "random dream" for inspiration. 100% client-side, every lookup runs in your browser, nothing about your dream leaves this page. Explicit disclaimer at the top of every page: this is folk-cultural and historical-psychology reference, NOT a clinical diagnosis. We DID NOT use an LLM to make up dream meanings — the Zhougong text is from the public-domain 《周公解梦》 compilation, and the Jungian / Freudian readings cite Jung's Symbols of Transformation and Freud's published archetype dictionary entries. Built for the millions of monthly searches for 周公解梦 in Chinese, and for curious English readers who want a real cross-cultural comparison.

Real-world use cases
You wake at 3am after a falling-teeth dream and want an answer before work
You jolt awake, two front teeth crumbling in the dream, and your first instinct is to grab your phone. Type "teeth falling out" and you get both columns at once: Zhougong reads it as 凶, an omen tied to a relative's health or a money loss, while Freud's Die Traumdeutung frames it as castration anxiety and Jung as a fear of losing power. Seeing 吉/凶 next to the psychology read in 20 seconds settles the 3am spiral without a paywall or sign-up.
A Chinese-culture student compares Zhougong and Jung for a comparative-religion essay
You are writing 1500 words on how two traditions read the same snake symbol. Search 蛇 and the tool splits it into 梦见蛇, 蛇咬, 杀蛇, 蛇缠身, each with its original 吉/凶/中 label, beside Jung's anima/libido reading. You quote the public-domain sourcing line directly, cite Die Traumdeutung (1900), and avoid the fake LLM dream-blogs your professor flagged. Two real traditions, sourced, ready to footnote.
A content creator builds a "what your dream means" short without inventing meanings
You make 60-second culture explainers and need a snake-dream script that will not get fact-checked into the ground. Instead of paraphrasing a random listicle, you pull the four distinct Zhougong snake entries plus the Jung/Freud dispute, screen-record the side-by-side, and credit the public-domain sources on screen. Your 30-second hook ("same dream, opposite verdicts") writes itself, and the comments stay about the content instead of "this is made up."
Someone keeps dreaming about a deceased parent and wants cultural context, not a diagnosis
A recurring dream of a late mother is unsettling, and you are not ready to call a therapist. You search 死人 and 亲人去世, read the Zhougong note that visiting-the-dead can signal a life transition, and the depth-psychology column on grief and the unconscious. The permanent disclaimer above the box reminds you this is cultural reference, not medicine, and points you to a professional if the dreams cause real distress. You get context and a clear boundary in one screen.
Common pitfalls
Treating a 凶 label as a prediction. 凶 marks a folk-tradition omen, not a forecast; a 蛇咬 entry flags caution, it does not mean illness is coming.
Searching only in English and missing entries. Type 蛇 instead of just "snake" to surface all four split readings (梦见蛇, 蛇咬, 杀蛇, 蛇缠身) with their original labels.
Quoting the modern column as "Jung said" when an entry is labeled "modern symbolic." Those draw from general depth-psychology consensus, so cite it as such, not as a direct Jung quote.
Privacy
Every lookup runs entirely in your browser. The dream symbol you search, the category filter, and the random-pick result never leave this page and are never sent to any server. The symbol you type is not written into the URL, so sharing the page link does not reveal what you dreamed about. Nothing is logged, stored, or tied to you.
