Download/HomepageAlchera (the aborigine word for dreamtime) is a database for storing and
analyzing your dreams. The windows interface opens up with two windows, which look like
index cards. You type the details of your dream on the first card, and the thoughts you
associate with the dream. These are listed by date and day, and a simple but effective
search facility allows you to look through all the recorded dreams for a particular word
or name that may have occurred in a previous dream.
Further windows allow you to enter characters, symbols and locations that appear in each
dream, with details of gender, race, relationship and other factors. Yet more windows then
produce graphs and pie charts which show the analysis of your dream compared to Hall/ Van
de Castle scales.
This is where it all gets so complicated and scientific I gave up. Irritatingly, most of
the numerous small windows will not minimize or close, so your desktop ends up covered in
them, and the help is minimal, it assumes you know what the analysis actually means. The
programme is a quasi-scientific one, and requires study of both the authors home pages and
other reference works to be fully utilized. It is not a toy, it is a tool for analyzing
dreams to look for clues to mental or physical problems, and requires a lot of prior
knowledge and a deep interest in dream analysis.
