Dream Journal App
Catch a dream before it fades. Speak it or type it, keep every dream in one journal you can search, and watch the people, symbols and feelings that keep coming back.
Free on iPhone and Android · No subscriptions or in-app purchases
Everything you need in a dream journal
Quick capture, a history you can search, and patterns that build over time.
Voice or text capture
Speak or type the moment you wake, before the details fade. Your phone's own speech recognition turns voice into text; MysticLab never receives audio.
One journal you can search
Every dream stays in one list. Search it to find a dream again, and open any entry to see the symbols, people, places and feelings in it.
What keeps coming back
The symbols, people and places in each dream are picked out automatically and counted as they return across your journal.
Mood map and streak ring
Each dream carries one of eight moods. The mood map shows how your nights have felt, and a streak ring keeps count of your recording streak.
Weekly insight and Deep Analysis
Each week, a short read of your last seven nights. After 15 dreams, Deep Analysis reads your whole journal: recurring symbols, emotional patterns, insights and a few things to try that week.
Talk it through with Luna
Any dream can become a conversation. Luna, your dream guide, reflects it back and asks a follow-up question.
Prefer to talk rather than type? Our guide to keeping a voice dream journal covers the how-to and where your voice goes on iPhone and Android.

Patterns that build over time
One dream can't tell you what recurs. Here is how MysticLab counts a symbol, a person or a place as it comes back.
Trace
Seen in one dream
Something that showed up once. Nothing to compare it to yet.
Pair
Seen in two dreams
It came back once. One more dream would make it a pattern worth reading.
Motif
Seen in three dreams or more
A symbol, person or place that keeps returning. These are the threads worth following.
Badges mark the way: First Spark at your first dream, Pattern Reader at 5, and Lucid Mystic at 15, the point where Deep Analysis unlocks.
What a few weeks of entries can and can't show is explained in our guide to spotting recurring dream patterns.
Where your journal lives
Your dreams are personal. Here is plainly what happens to them.
Stored in the EU
Your journal is stored on our servers in Helsinki, Finland, and encrypted in transit.
Luna only with your consent
When you talk to Luna, your dream and conversation are processed by OpenAI in the US, only after you agree. You can withdraw in Settings. Your email and account ID are not sent to OpenAI.
Yours to delete
Delete your account in Settings and everything in it goes, immediately and permanently. There is no self-service export yet: email privacy@mysticlab.app for a copy of your data.
