Mapping the collective unconscious
A snake from last night's dream. A door you keep seeing. An old woman who turns up again and again. Write it down and find out how many people, in how many countries, are seeing the same thing right now.
Today, the image that keeps returning is a snake Write yours or continue in your browser
Scan with your phoneEvery night, strangers dream the same images.
Nobody interprets. Everything is counted.
Your inner world is one point. All of us, one map.
Live from the map
Real entries from the app's Live Feed. No names, no profiles: only a country, a mood and up to four archetypes.
Synchronicities
In the last 30 days, people who don't know each other wrote these images in the same week, in different countries. We show only the symbol and the countries.

What Carl Jung wrote about each one, and how often it is turning up around the world right now.
How it works
Not the people around you, not your plans for the day. The figures and images that live in your inner world: a snake from last night's dream, a door you can't stop picturing, a face that keeps showing up, a forest you somehow know. That's an archetype, and that's what you write.
Up to four archetypes, a few words each, in any language. There is no list to choose from and no right answer. Every entry is translated in the background, so a "Kurt" in Istanbul and a "Wolf" in London land on the same spot.
Pick one of nine moods, from calm to awe. A snake on an anxious day is not the same snake on a quiet one, so the map keeps both. The moon phase of that moment is recorded on its own.
The moment you save, your entry joins the field. You see how many people have written the same archetype, in which countries, under which moon and with which moods, and how closely your day echoes the rest of the world.
Inside the app
Everything is counted, nothing is guessed. Pick a view to look inside.
The Live Feed runs every entry from around the world as it arrives, with how many times each archetype has been written so far. Tap any archetype to open its profile: the mood, moon phase, age group and continent where it stands out, and the archetypes it most often appears with.
Under 18, 25 to 34, over 55. Europe, Asia, South America. Each group has an archetype it writes far more often than the rest of the world, and the app shows by how much. Below each one, the emotion that stands out in that group.
Every entry carries the real lunar phase and illumination of its moment. Watch how many entries each phase gathers, cycle after cycle, and which archetype surfaces under the new moon, the full moon and every quarter in between.
Weekdays and weekends, morning and midnight. See which image belongs to which day, and when the whole field gathers around the same archetypes instead of scattering.
Strangers who have never met write the same two archetypes in the same entry. The app counts these pairs, and shows the emotion each archetype's writers feel more often than everyone else.
Your Personal Network keeps every archetype and mood you have logged, your rhythms, your streak and private notes. It shows how your pattern compares with the collective, and which countries, age groups and genders you seem closest to. When someone writes the same archetype around the same time as you, you can send each other one anonymous signal.
The idea
In the early twentieth century Carl Jung proposed that beneath our personal memories lies a deeper layer of the mind, the collective unconscious, shared by every human being regardless of culture, language or era. He believed it was made of inherited patterns he called archetypes, and that they show themselves most clearly in dreams, in myths and in unguarded moments.
Archetype Matrix doesn't try to prove him right. It gives his idea something it never had: a live, anonymous record of what people actually see, from all over the world, as it happens.
The parts of ourselves we repress or deny. Not evil by nature, only unacknowledged.
The face we show the world. Necessary, until it gets mistaken for the whole self.
The unconscious feminine in a man and masculine in a woman, as Jung framed it.
Behind every nurturing goddess in myth, and every devouring one.
The figure who turns up in dreams when the conscious mind has run out of answers.
Breaks the rules so that something new can be built.
Conscious and unconscious together. Jung called the work of joining them individuation.
We don't ask what your dream means.
We show you how many people, right now, are having the same one.
Dream interpretation, personality typing, horoscopes. No entry is ever run through a model that claims to know you, and the app never tells you who you are.
Plain counting and grouping: how many people logged which archetype, with which mood, at what moment. Everyone has a small daily limit, so the picture reflects many minds rather than one person logging all night.
Only country, age group and gender feed the shared statistics. Your name and email never appear anywhere on the map.
The app speaks 17 languages, and entries in all of them are matched to the same figures, so the world is read as one field.
Questions
An image that is alive in you today: a figure from a dream, a symbol that keeps crossing your path, an animal, a place, a person you can't place. A few words each, up to four. If it keeps coming back, it belongs here.
Neither. Archetype Matrix never tells you what a figure means or who you are. It counts and groups what people log, and shows you the pattern.
Logging archetypes and your daily analysis are free. Your first 90 days unlock everything. After that, the full personal statistics and the world atlas are part of Pro.
For the collective statistics: country, age group and gender, stored with your archetype and mood entries. Your name, email and identity are never shown in the statistics. Notes you write are private to you. See the Privacy Policy for the details.
Not in the app: you can start as a guest. Sign in with Google, Apple or email to keep your history across devices.
Yes. Open archetypematrix.app on a computer and choose "Start on the web". Use the same Google or Apple account as on your phone and you'll find the same history. Notifications and signals stay on the phone.
Your own. Write the name carefully, with the correct letters for your language. Every entry is translated in the background, so it matches the same figure everywhere in the world.
Write it down, and see who else on Earth is carrying the same image.
