How we interpret dreams

Who we are

FASSIR is a free dream interpretation site in 11 languages. There are no accounts and nothing to buy; the site is paid for by ads. Each language reads dreams through its own culture’s tradition, and English pages bring several traditions together.

Where we use AI

We use AI, a large language model, for two things. First, personal readings: when you submit a dream, the AI writes your reading live, and no person reviews it before you see it. Second, drafting: dictionary entries, dream scenarios and blog posts are drafted with AI from structured instructions that name the sources and the tradition to follow.

We say this plainly because you should know what you are reading. The AI does not have visions or religious authority; it summarizes and applies what the traditions below have written about dreams.

The sources we rely on

These are the traditions and works our readings and dictionary draw on. They are cited as sources, not as authors of our pages.

• Islamic tradition: the dream manual attributed to Muhammad ibn Sirin (Muntakhab al-Kalam fi Tafsir al-Ahlam) and Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi’s Ta’tir al-Anam, read alongside the hadith on dreams.
• The Bible: the dreams of Joseph, Pharaoh and Daniel, and Christian readings of dream symbols.
• Jewish tradition: the Tanakh and the Talmud’s discussion of dreams in Berakhot 55–57.
• Psychology: Carl Jung (Man and His Symbols) and Sigmund Freud (The Interpretation of Dreams), plus modern sleep and dream research.
• East Asian tradition: the Zhou Gong dream book (Zhou Gong Jie Meng, traditionally attributed to the Duke of Zhou) and Japanese yume uranai.

How a personal reading is made

1. 1Before anything else, the dream is checked for signs of distress. If we find them, we show support information first.
2. 2Your dream and any optional answers are sent to the AI with instructions for one tradition. English readings default to Jungian psychology; Christian, Islamic and psychological readings are offered on request.
3. 3The AI returns the reading as structured parts. Our code checks that every part is present and filled in; an incomplete or malformed answer is rejected and tried again.
4. 4The reading is saved and shown in five parts. It is never used as dictionary content.

How dictionary entries are made

• Each symbol page has one section per tradition. The short answer at the top of a page is written only from that page’s own sections, so it adds no new claims.
• Titles and headings are written as the phrases people actually search in each language, never translated word for word from another language.
• External links go only to authoritative sites on our allowlist (for example Bible Gateway, Sefaria, sunnah.com, Britannica, PubMed and the Sleep Foundation). We do not link to forums or content farms.
• Each language follows its own culture: we do not present one religion’s reading as the default for another culture.

Review, corrections and updates

Automated checks run on every page we publish: structure, length, links against our allowlist and the culture-per-language rule. We revisit pages when we update them, when search data shows people are looking for something the page does not answer, and whenever a reader reports a problem.

The “last updated” date on a dictionary page is the real date the entry was last changed. If you spot an error, please tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.
