How Aftercurrent works
How body context changes dream interpretation
The same dream can read differently depending on whether the body was depleted, overstimulated, or settling after stress.

What Aftercurrent means by measured, inferred, and written
What was measured directly, what Aftercurrent noticed over time, and what was written to help you reflect.
Measured
Measured means direct inputs such as sleep-related device information, timing data, or scores Aftercurrent calculates directly.
Measured does not mean perfect certainty. It means the source is clear.
Inferred
Inferred means Aftercurrent noticed a recurring trend from repeated inputs, identity structure, or longer-term history.
That can be useful because a person’s life is bigger than any one data point, but it should still stay separate from direct measurement.
Written
Written means narrative reflection or generated explanation meant to help you think, not impersonate a score or raw input.
Aftercurrent keeps these categories separate because the moment a written explanation starts pretending to be a hard fact, the trust is gone.
