ABOUT US

Why You Dream

Ever wake up wondering what your dream meant? You’re not alone. At Why You Dream, we dive into the hidden meanings behind the dreams we all have—from the strange to the comforting, and everything in between.

Our blog breaks down dream themes in a way that’s easy to understand. No confusing jargon, just clear insights based on symbolism, psychology, and common patterns people experience in their sleep.

owl dream meaning
Rats and mice clash in a dreamlike realm, their silhouettes intertwined in a surreal dance. In the foreground, a pack of rats, their eyes gleaming with mischief, confronts a lone mouse, its whiskers trembling. The middle ground is shrouded in a hazy, ethereal mist, casting an otherworldly glow over the scene. In the background, a kaleidoscope of fragmented shapes and patterns swirls, creating a sense of disorientation and the subconscious. The lighting is soft and diffused, casting long shadows that add depth and drama to the composition. The camera angle is slightly elevated, giving the viewer a sense of observing the interaction from above, like a voyeur peering into the subconscious. The overall atmosphere is one of unease and the unsettling, reflecting the key differences between the meanings of dreaming about rats versus mice.
OUR MISSION

Helping You Make Sense of Your Dreams

We started Why You Dream to help people find meaning in the things they see at night. Whether it’s dreams about animals, people, places, or even flying or falling, we write about it all.
Our goal is simple: to give you something helpful to think about the next time you wake up and ask yourself, “What was that all about?”
