Decode Your Dream

Editorial Policy

Decode Your Dream exists to help readers explore dreams without turning uncertain symbolism into false certainty. Our editorial policy applies to dream-dictionary entries, cultural features, sleep and psychology explainers, and interactive dream content published on this website.

What we aim to publish

We prioritise useful, readable explanations that answer the question a reader actually has when they search for a dream meaning. An article should add context, explain how details can change an interpretation and acknowledge uncertainty where appropriate.

How we distinguish evidence from interpretation

Scientific claims about sleep, dreaming, memory or mental health should be supported by reputable medical, academic or institutional sources. Cultural beliefs should be described as traditions or beliefs and attributed where possible. Symbolic interpretations are presented as possibilities rather than proven facts.

Originality and editorial review

We do not publish copied dream-dictionary entries from other websites. Each page is edited for usefulness, clarity and fit with Decode Your Dream’s editorial approach. Pages may be updated when better sources become available or when an interpretation needs more context.

Commercial independence

Advertising helps fund the website, but advertisers do not determine our dream interpretations or editorial conclusions. Sponsored material, if published, should be labelled clearly.

Corrections

If you find a factual error, an unclear cultural attribution or a broken source, please contact us. Material corrections should be reflected on the page rather than silently ignored.

How we interpret dreams

Reflection, not prediction.

No dream symbol has one scientifically proven universal meaning. We separate research, cultural tradition and symbolic interpretation so readers can see what kind of claim they are reading.
