Exploring the Language of Dreams
Dreams are the language of the subconscious — stories told in symbols, emotions, and sensations. Through interpretation, we uncover what our inner world is trying to say, revealing insight, healing, and creative understanding along the way.

Why Do We Dream?
Scientists and philosophers continue to debate the purpose of dreaming. From emotional regulation to creative problem-solving. While some dreams organize memory, others help process emotions too complex for waking thought.
Dreams may be your mind’s way of healing, experimenting, or remembering who you are.
What Is Dream Interpretation?
Dream interpretation is the practice of uncovering meaning within the stories our subconscious tells while we sleep. Each dream acts as a symbolic mirror, reflecting our emotions, experiences, and desires. At Somnia Lab, we explore these meanings through three distinct lenses: Psychology, Symbolism, and Folklore — offering both personal and cultural insight into your inner world.
How to reflect on your dreams?
Keep a small journal beside your bed and write down what you remember immediately upon waking — even fragments or feelings. Over time, patterns begin to emerge. Ask: What emotion stood out most? What symbols repeat? What has changed since last time?
Interpretation begins with curiosity, not certainty.
The Psychological Lens
This approach views dreams as reflections of the emotional and mental states we experience in waking life. Rooted in modern psychology, it examines how recurring themes, fears, or desires manifest symbolically in dreams — helping you understand stress, growth, and self-awareness.
Think of it as the science of your subconscious.
The Symbolic Lens
The symbolic lens interprets dreams through universal imagery, such as water, fire, mirrors, animals, or journeys that represent deeper parts of our psyche. These symbols act like emotional metaphors, allowing us to translate feelings into visual form.
A dream’s symbols speak a language older than words, one you already understand instinctively.
The Folklore Lens
The folklore lens connects individual dreams to collective myths and cultural stories. Across history, people have seen dreams as messages from gods, ancestors, or nature. This perspective reveals how our most personal dreams still echo universal human experiences.
Every dream is part of an ancient conversation.
