Midnight Mind, the dream journal

You write your dream when you wake up, Yume offers a reading of it, and the app links the symbols that come back from one night to the next. The journal is free.

On the web. iOS and Android soon.

A dream told in the app:
“I was in my apartment, the one I live in now. Everything was the same, the kitchen, the hallway, the furniture. But something wasn’t right. The walls seemed to breathe, very slightly, as if they were alive.”
Six-panel comic page: a man in his apartment, a dark hallway, a hand on a wall, a door, then light at the end of the hallway.
The comic page the app drew from that dream.

In Japanese folklore, the Baku eats bad dreams. Yume, Sora, Hoshi and Tsuki are Midnight Mind’s four Bakus. They are characters: they give the pages a voice, they do not write them.

Who writes this blog

Gabriel Bellard

I am Gabriel Bellard and I build Midnight Mind, a dream journal. I am neither a psychologist nor a dream interpreter.

The pages of this blog were drafted with the help of AI. Since September 2026, I have been reviewing them one by one: I check the sources, cut what is useless and fix what is wrong. A reviewed page shows the date of its review under its title.

The methodologyMy author page

The four traditions quoted on the pages

Artemidorus of DaldisOneirocritica, 2nd century, Greece
The main ancient manual of dream interpretation to have reached us. Artemidorus reads a dream through the dreamer’s life: their trade, their age, their situation.
Ibn Sirin8th century, Basra
The most cited name in Islamic dream interpretation. The collections that bear his name were compiled long after his death.
Zhou Gong jie mengChina
A popular dream dictionary attributed to the Duke of Zhou. The versions in circulation are much later, and it is still consulted today.
Carl Gustav Jung20th century, Switzerland
For Jung, a dream compensates for what waking life leaves aside, and its images draw on motifs shared by all humans, the archetypes.

How the pages use them

Frequently asked questions

Does a symbol mean the same thing for everyone?
No. The traditions themselves disagree, and the same symbol changes with your life, your culture and what you felt in the dream. The pages offer leads, not verdicts.
Is what I type in the field saved?
No. Symbols are found in your browser and nothing is sent. If you click “Interpret my dream”, your text goes to Midnight Mind for that interpretation.
Should a recurring nightmare worry me?
Frequent nightmares that damage your sleep, or that keep coming back after a difficult event, are worth raising with a doctor or a psychologist: effective treatments exist. An interpretation is not medical advice.
