How MysticLab Works

From a half-remembered dream to the patterns behind your nights. You capture it, talk it through with Luna, and over the weeks see which symbols and feelings keep coming back.

A dreamer writing in a dream journal

Three steps, night after night

Capture, conversation, patterns. Each dream joins your journal, and the patterns build from there.

1. Capture the dream

Speak or type the dream the moment you wake. A fragment is enough. Your phone's own speech recognition turns voice into text; MysticLab never receives audio.

2. Talk it through with Luna

Luna reads the dream, reflects it back in plain words and asks a follow-up question. You answer, and the conversation carries on from there.

3. See the patterns over time

The symbols, people, places and feelings in every dream are picked out and kept. Over the weeks you see what returns, with a weekly insight, a mood map and a Deep Analysis after 15 dreams.

Behind the Magic

What happens at each step, what Luna draws on, and where your data goes.

Capturing the dream

Open the app and say or type what you remember, straight after waking. Fragments are fine: details often come back as you go. Each dream you save lands in your journal.

  • Voice or text, whichever is easier half-asleep
  • Your phone's own speech recognition turns voice into text; MysticLab never receives audio
  • Guest mode lets you record one dream before you create an account
  • All capture and journal features

Talking it through with Luna

Luna reads the dream and reflects it back: what stands out, what it might connect to, and a question to take you further. She speaks with one voice that blends modern psychology, depth psychology in the tradition of Freud and Jung, and symbolic readings, reaching for whichever fits the dream.

  • A follow-up question instead of a verdict
  • Luna can offer to remember something about your waking life; it is saved only if you tap Keep
  • Luna answers in the language the app is set to
  • Read about the traditions she draws on in our dream interpretation guides

Seeing the patterns

The symbols, people, places and feelings in each dream are picked out and kept. A symbol, person or place seen in one dream is a trace; in two, a pair; in three or more, a motif.

  • A mood map with eight moods and a streak ring
  • A weekly insight: a short read of your last seven nights
  • Deep Analysis after 15 dreams: recurring symbols, emotional patterns, insights and a few things to try that week
  • Badges along the way: First Spark, Pattern Reader and Lucid Mystic

Your privacy

Your dreams are stored on our servers in the EU and encrypted in transit. When you talk to Luna, your dream and conversation are processed by OpenAI in the United States, only after you agree on a consent screen. You can withdraw in Settings.

  • Your email address and account ID are not sent to OpenAI
  • OpenAI does not use API data to train its models, and we have not opted in
  • Delete your account in Settings, immediately and permanently
  • How we handle your data: read the privacy policy
