The content is educational and reflective
The Dreaming Cafe publishes general information about dream meanings, dream experiences, sleep, and related research. Interpretations are possibilities to consider. They are not diagnoses, predictions, treatment, professional advice, or statements of fact about a reader or another person.
Waking evidence should guide important decisions
Do not use a dream or a page on this site as proof of illness, pregnancy, trauma, danger, betrayal, another person's intentions, or a future event. Medical symptoms, severe distress, major sleep disruption, or safety concerns should be assessed through appropriate waking information and qualified help.
The site is not an emergency service. For immediate danger, a medical emergency, or urgent safety concerns, contact the appropriate local service.
Readers are responsible for how they use the site
Readers decide whether an interpretation fits their own context. They are responsible for decisions made after reading the site and for checking information that affects health, safety, finances, relationships, travel, or legal rights with an appropriate source or professional.
Original site material cannot be republished wholesale
Unless a source or different licence is identified, The Dreaming Cafe claims rights in its original text, branding, layout, and artwork to the extent allowed by applicable law. Linking to public pages is welcome. Limited quotation may be permitted by law when accompanied by clear attribution and a link to the relevant page.
Systematic copying, scraping, extraction, republication, resale, or creation of a competing content database from the site's original material is not permitted without authorization. These terms do not restrict rights that applicable law gives to readers, researchers, reviewers, or other users.
The site must be used lawfully
Do not interfere with the site's operation or security, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, or misrepresent site content or affiliation.
External sources remain under their own terms
Articles link to research, health guidance, archives, museums, government resources, and other external sites. Those services control their own content, availability, privacy practices, and terms. A link identifies a source or useful resource. It does not imply control of or endorsement by the external site.
Pages may be corrected or changed
The site may update, remove, or reorganize material when evidence changes, a problem is reported, or the publication changes. Continued availability of a particular page or feature is not promised.
