Every dream about the supernatural with its own page

Death and the dead

77.8% of searches here · 54.1% have dreamt it

Endings rather than mortality. Dreaming of someone dead is best read as a change in your relationship to what they represented.

Demons

6.9% of searches here

Something experienced as external that behaves like part of you — the defining feature of demon dreams is that they are not negotiable.

Angels

5.6% of searches here · 12.4% have dreamt it

Protection experienced as external — the figure arrives rather than being summoned, which is what separates it from a dream of being rescued.

Witch

2.5% of searches here

Power held by someone outside the rules — the witch is the figure who can act when you cannot.

Ghost

1.2% of searches here

Presence without body — the ghost dream is defined by the sense of company more than by any figure.

Devil

0.73% of searches here

Temptation with a face — the devil dream externalizes something the dreamer usually recognizes as their own.

Heaven

0.6% of searches here

Resolution imagined in full — a dream of a place where nothing is left undone.
