How it works

Most dream dictionaries give you one line per symbol and leave you to put the pieces together. Manam reads the dream as a whole.

Tell the dream

Type it or say it out loud, as you remember it. Add how you felt when you woke up.

Get the interpretation

Manam finds each symbol in your dream and reads them together, taking your situation into account.

See where it comes from

Every meaning names its book. Ask a follow-up question about any detail, and the answer comes from the same sources.

Three classical sources

Interpretations and the dictionary are built on three works that have guided Muslim dream interpreters for centuries.

تفسير الأحلام

Ibn Sirin

The Interpretation of Dreams attributed to Muhammad Ibn Sirin of Basra, 8th century. The best-known name in Islamic dream interpretation.

تعطير الأنام

al-Nabulsi

Ta'tir al-Anam by Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi of Damascus, 17th century. An alphabetical dictionary of symbols.

الإشارات في علم العبارات

Ibn Shahin

Al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat by Khalil Ibn Shahin al-Zahiri, 15th century. A large compendium that gathers the readings of earlier interpreters.

What's inside

Follow-up questions

2,500+ symbols, offline

Meanings for your situation

Questions

Which books does Manam use to interpret dreams?

Three classical works of Islamic dream interpretation: the Interpretation of Dreams attributed to Muhammad Ibn Sirin (8th century), Ta'tir al-Anam by Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi (17th century) and al-Isharat fi Ilm al-Ibarat by Khalil Ibn Shahin (15th century). Every meaning in an interpretation names the book it comes from.

Is a dream interpretation in Manam a fatwa?

No. Every interpretation is scholarly opinion based on the cited sources. It is not a fatwa, a medical opinion or a psychological diagnosis. And Allah knows best.

Is Manam free?

The download, the symbol dictionary and the dream journal are free. Your first AI interpretation is free. After that, interpretations need a weekly subscription (with a 3-day free trial) or a yearly one. Prices are shown in the App Store in your local currency.

Are my dreams stored on your servers?

No. Your dream journal stays on your iPhone. When you ask for an interpretation, the dream text is sent to our server and the AI provider only to write the reply and is not stored by us afterwards. There is no account and no sign-up.
