A lab you run with your hands — not just a chatbot
Every instrument below is real math or a real dataset, grounded in published sleep research — not a wrapper around a language model.

What stayed with you when you woke?
Write the image and what your body did. We’ll show you why you saw this across our dream and somatic PSEO pages.
How I run this lab
I am Vigen G.R. The Lab is the product face of Oneirox: Lab Search routes a description to evidence-labeled pages; Mapper records thermal, tactile, and body-zone observations; Sleep Cycles gives rough planning estimates; Phase adds exploratory lunar-phase context from a small controlled study. None of these instruments is a chatbot wrapping a folklore table.
Order of operations I actually use: body line first, image second, instrument third. If you woke with weight, mute, jerk, or heat and almost no plot, stay in Mapper or somatic utilities. If you have a scene (chase, teeth, ex, homeland place-cue), use Dream Meaning then Search. If you keep cutting mornings to pieces, open Cycles before you interpret anything.
What the Lab will not do: diagnose or tell you a snake has one fixed meaning. What it will do is keep SIGNAL · BODY · MORNING as one structured reading with explicit evidence limits. Notes on why the rules exist live at /notes. Reviewed REM physiology lives at /mechanics/rem. Educational neuroscience — not medical advice.
Flagship URLs under this hub: Mapper, Sleep Cycles, Phase, Dream Meaning, Somatic utilities. If an instrument cannot show unique data on the page, it does not ship. That is the same dense-gate I use on PSEO rows.
Flagship instruments
Zero-API · informed by peer-reviewed sleep research.
Sensory Dream Mapper
Map what your body felt while you slept. Temperature, pressure, weight, resistance — nine neurobiological profiles.
Dream Phase Calculator
Enter the date of your dream and see the lunar phase. Cajochen et al. (2013) reported about 30% lower NREM delta activity around the full moon in a small controlled retrospective analysis, with longer sleep onset and shorter total sleep. Treat it as exploratory context, not a personal prediction.
Sleep Cycle Calculator
Enter a wake time or bedtime and get planning estimates based on average sleep-cycle duration. Individual NREM–REM cycles vary substantially, so this tool does not detect sleep stage or guarantee reduced sleep inertia.

Lab Notes by Vigen G.R.
Why instruments exist — written by the founder, updated as the lab grows.
Somatic Sleep Library
Science-reviewed somatic guides with explicit evidence and safety boundaries.
Dream Meaning Library
Curated dream themes that separate sleep-neurobiology evidence from interpretation.
REM Mechanics
Deep-dives into the brain circuitry running while you dream.
