About Sorvatis
Sorvatis is a place to keep dreams, and a way of noticing what comes back. The dream is the evidence. The person is the story.

What Sorvatis is
Sorvatis reads the dream in front of you, and then keeps it. That second part is the whole idea. A dream read once and forgotten is an evening’s curiosity; a dream kept beside the others becomes something you can actually look at.
Over time the archive begins to answer questions no single night could. Who keeps appearing. Which room you return to. What feeling arrives again without being called for.
What Sorvatis is not
It is not a dream dictionary. There is no table of fixed meanings here, because no such table exists. The same image can be relief in one life and dread in another.
It is not prophecy. Sorvatis has nothing to say about what will happen to you, and says so plainly rather than leaving the question open.
It is not therapy. Sorvatis does not diagnose, does not treat, and does not stand in for a therapist or a doctor. If something in your dreams frightens you, bring it to a real person you trust, and to a professional when you need one.
Memory, and what returns
Recurrence is the one thing a single dream cannot show you. It only exists across nights, which means it only exists if the nights are kept.
So Sorvatis remembers the people, the places, the feelings and the images, and waits. When something genuinely returns, it says so. When nothing has returned yet, it says that instead, and that is not a failure. It is the truth of a young archive.
A mirror, not an authority
Sorvatis will not tell you what your dream means. It will show you what is actually there, and what has actually repeated, and leave the meaning where it belongs.
This is a real constraint and not a modest pose. A system that claims authority over your inner life has to invent things to stay interesting. Sorvatis would rather be quiet than interesting.
Your dreams are yours
What you write is kept for you, and read back to you. It is not a public feed, and it is not written for anyone else’s attention.
You can read the full terms and the privacy position at any time.
