Root Code Collective (RCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit exploring what dreams can tell us about human experience. We operate The Dream Drop, a dream-logging app for adults, and publish Dream Commons, a monthly collection of aggregate dream statistics for research and exploration.

The Dream Drop
The Dream Drop helps people aged 18 and older record dreams, reflect on recurring themes, and explore patterns in their own entries and the wider community. It connects personal dream reflection with a growing body of data for studying dreams across time, languages, and communities.
Dream Commons
Dream Commons turns contributions from The Dream Drop into monthly, publicly available datasets. Releases include counts of dream themes and moods, commonly used words, and changes from the previous month, alongside documentation and tools for reproducing the analysis.
These statistics describe contributed dreams; they should not be treated as representative of everyone’s dreams or as evidence of what causes a particular dream pattern.
Privacy and participation
- Participation without names or email addresses. The Dream Drop does not ask for these identifiers and does not use ad IDs or third-party trackers. It collects approximate location and optional demographic information, as described in our privacy policy.
- Dream entries are public by default on RCC services. People can mark individual dreams Private to prevent public display. Anonymous participation does not mean every entry is private.
- Dream Commons releases contain de-identified aggregates only. They do not include raw dream text or individual dream records. Separate academic research access is governed by research agreements.
Read our Privacy Policy for details about collection, public display, research use, and participant choices.
