Manima — это проект на стыке глубинной психологии и искусственного интеллекта, созданный для осмысления снов через архетипы Юнга. Основатели сервиса: Анастасия и Александр, выпускники прикладной лингвистики ИФиМК ВолГУ, сейчас — веб и ИИ разработчики.
«Сон это маленькая скрытая дверь в самые потаённые и сокровенные уголки души» — Карл Густав Юнг
Как появилась Manima?
Анастасия много лет вела дневник снов, исследуя их как послания бессознательного. Когда друзья стали просить помочь с толкованием, она адаптировала свой ИИ-ассистент, обученный на работах Юнга. Так родилась Manima — AI-компаньон, который не дает однозначных ответов, а помогает исследовать символику снов.
Что умеет Manima?
- Анализирует сны на 40+ языках
- Выявляет архетипы (Тень, Анима/Анимус, Самость и др.)
- Предлагает открытые вопросы для саморефлексии, а не готовые толкования
- Работает на принципах индивидуации и амплификации (поиск мифологических параллелей)
Планы на будущее
- Галерея снов — база для исследований
- Визуализация снов — генерация образов через ИИ
- Архетипические карты Таро — игровые элементы для самоанализа
Manima — не о расшифровке снов, а о диалоге с бессознательным. Попробуйте: manima.co

Manima: LLM that Interprets Jungian archetypes manifesting in dreams
Project at the Intersection of Depth Psychology & Large Language Model — manima.co
1 | Origins & Vision
«Dreams are the small hidden doors in the deepest and most intimate sanctum of the soul.» — C. G. Jung
Manima began in April 2025, created by Anastasia and Alex Elish — a couple of web developers, graduates in applied linguistics, and big fans of depth psychology and Carl Jung’s work.
Anastasia: «I’ve always been fascinated by dreams. For years, I recorded dreams and reflected on them in my dream journal. Dreams feel like messages from the unconscious Self — deeply personal, yet expressed through symbols and shared archetypes.
The idea for Manima came when friends started asking me to help interpret their dreams. I had been doing my own dreamwork for a while, and they noticed the change in me — I felt more authentic, more whole.
At the time, I was using a personal AI agent I’d built — a GPT-based assistant trained on Jung’s writings to help me explore my dreams. It felt like collecting the fragmented pieces of myself and putting them back together.
Dreamwork made my life better. So when my friends asked for guidance, I felt a call to share it. Alex — my partner in life and business — helped bring Manima into the world. We built the first version in an intense few days of work.»
2 | What Manima Does
Manima.co is a dream companion — an AI that reflects, not dictates. It offers interpretations inspired by Jungian psychology, and speaks in the voice of a calm, curious guide.
Built first on Pickaxe, and now evolving rapidly, Manima can:
- Receive free-form dream narratives in 40+ languages
- Identify symbolic motifs and archetypal patterns
- Offer gentle, open-ended reflections that invite self-inquiry — not fortune-telling
It’s not here to explain your dream — it’s here to help you explore it, to mirror what you might already know but haven’t yet heard in words.
3 | Psychological Framework
Manima’s interpretive engine is anchored in three Jungian pillars:
| Pillar | Practical Encoding in Manima |
|---|---|
| Archetypes (Shadow, Animal/Animus, Self, Persona, Child…) | We grounded Manima with Jung’s four primary archetypes (Persona, Shadow, Animal/Animus, Self) and secondary archetypes (e.g., Hero, Trickster) as described in the literature. The AI agent has Carl Jung’s work in the Knowledge Base vector store. |
| Individuation | The dialogue design avoids prescriptive meaning; every output ends with a reflective question that returns agency to the dreamer. |
| Amplification | The model surfaces cross-cultural mythic parallels (e.g., Python ↔ Kundalini serpent) to «amplify» a symbol’s depth without imposing one fixed reading. |
4 | Safety & Ethics
- No diagnostic claims or future predictions.
- Trauma-sensitive filter flags content referencing abuse, self-harm or medical crises; users receive grounding resources and a human-help recommendation.
- Output style guided by a ruleset that privileges non-authoritative, non-prescriptive language.
5 | User Experience Flow
- Dream Input – free-form text.
- Gentle Reflection – AI narrative (~180 words) linking symbols to possible archetypes plus a single open question.
6 | Vision for Future
Manima is in its initial stages, and we envision it to become:
- The Dream Gallery: A secure platform for sharing dreams that would benefit dream interpretation studies.
- Visual Dream Scenes: AI-driven generation of surreal, sacred, and beautiful images and short videos based on dream content.
- Tarot-Inspired Symbols: We plan on developing archetype driven tarot cards to facilitate deeper self-reflection, and add gamified elements to user experience.
Manima is inspired by the work of Carl Jung, aiming to empower users to pursue their own journey of individuation, embrace their shadow self with compassion, and achieve wholeness. The platform operates on the principle that dreams are meaningful communications awaiting understanding.
