A necessary distinction

Searches are not dreams.

This atlas maps the dream topics people searched for most, using the source dataset's Google/Ahrefs search data. Unusual or troubling dreams are especially likely to be searched, so this should not be read as a survey of what people actually dream.

Sources & credits

This is a remix of someone else's research.

Original study and data: Mornings.co.uk / Morning Life. Original interactive data presentation: NeoMam. Search volumes were obtained using Ahrefs. This site is an independent adaptation for exploring those findings; it is not the original study.

What the data measures

The source method translated “dream” into countries' predominant languages and compared Google search terms with Ahrefs. The result is search interest in dream topics, not a representative measurement of dream frequency.

145 records here, 147 in the article

The original article describes 147 countries. The accessible interactive table used for this adaptation contains 145 country records. This site does not invent the two missing records.

What this adaptation adds

Interactive country search, motif filtering, prevalence analysis, the 21 one-country motifs, country comparison through shared motifs, and a category-based Dream Sky. No psychological interpretations are added.

Map areas with no data in the source

These countries are shown on the map, but the accessible source table contains no matching dream record for them.
