Who writes the guides

Every guide is written and updated by Deniz Bedirhan Öksüz, who designs and builds Lunaria. The guides draw on published sleep and dream research and on classical interpretation traditions. Every science line is checked against a fact sheet of verified studies before it's published. The guides are for reflection, not medical or psychological advice.

How a guide is made

Every guide opens with one short answer you can read in a few seconds. Then come three lenses, usually psychological, traditional and research based, a few common questions and a short reflection. Study results usually name their source in the text, the sources are listed at the end with a DOI where there is one, and each guide shows the date it was last updated. Meanings are offered as possibilities, never as certainties. You can browse every guide, grouped by theme, in the dream dictionary.

Sources

Peer-reviewed studies are cited with their DOI, for example work on dream recall and on how common certain dreams are. Classical texts are named as traditions, such as Artemidorus, classical Islamic dream manuals and the Chinese Zhou Gong dream book, each one reading among several.
