Banco de Sueños

A scientific expedition through your dream world

Map your dreams like an expedition

Write down each dream as soon as you wake, name who shows up and trace the links between entries. Over time your journal becomes an atlas: world map, link graph and logbook of your nights.

3 languages

Spanish, English and Portuguese, switchable at any time.

World map

Every dream with a country is drawn on a real atlas, country by country.

Link graph

Dreams, people and countries connected in a single explorable network.

How it works

  1. Record

    Date, place, country and narrative of the dream, from your phone or computer, while the memory is still fresh.

  2. Name

    Mark the people who appear and mention them with @ inside the narrative: each person gets linked to their dream.

  3. Connect

    Link dreams to each other and to people and countries; the atlas and the graph draw themselves from what you log.

Dream atlas

Record the place and country of each dream and watch your personal map take shape: the places you visit most at night, country by country, with dates and memories neatly filed.

Interesting facts about dreams

What sleep science knows so far, in short sentences.

We dream about 2 hours per night

20-25% of adult sleep is REM, the phase where we dream the most.

NCBI StatPearls

Sleep cycles last 90-120 minutes

Sleep moves through cycles of an hour and a half to two, with several REM passes per night.

Sleep Foundation

We forget 95-99% of dreams

Most dreams are lost shortly after waking, unless you write them down.

NCBI StatPearls

We dream mostly in images

Dream content is predominantly visual, with sensations and emotions.

Sleep Foundation

Muscles paralyze during REM

REM atonia stops us from acting out our dreams and protects our rest.

NCBI StatPearls

~12% dream in black and white

A minority report colourless dreams; the rest dream in colour or do not notice.

Sleep Foundation

Dreams link to lived experience

The previous days show up in dreams: the so-called "day residue".

Harvard Health

Dreams are longer in the morning

REM phases lengthen in the second half of the night, so early-morning dreams last longer.

NCBI StatPearls

Link graph

Every person, every country and every dream you connect to another becomes a node. The result is the network of your dreaming mind, with dreams, people and countries on a single canvas.

Privacy by design

Your data is yours: secure sessions, no ads, no data selling. You can download everything as JSON or delete your account whenever you want.

A symbolic reading for every dream

Every dream you save is checked against a dictionary of symbols and gets a possible reading, no diagnosis or promises: an idea to keep thinking about your dream.

  • Water: Water usually stands for your emotions and their state: calm if it is still, unease if it is murky or stirred…
  • Fall: Falling in a dream is usually linked to a feeling of losing control or insecurity about something underway.
  • Door: A door symbolizes a decision or a threshold: opening it can speak of an opportunity presenting itself.
