Questions

Questions parents ask

What is Dreams?

A place to write the letter that marks a moment in a child's life — a lost tooth, a birthday, the first morning of school, a festival your family keeps — and print it at home as a keepsake. There are 30 keepers, each with the story and real history behind them.

How much does it cost?

Writing, reading and sharing letters is free. $4.99 for a whole year removes the preview mark and unlocks printing, for up to five children and as many letters as you like. The photo signs are free.

Why five children?

It covers a family generously while keeping the price at $4.99. If you genuinely need more than five on one account, write to us and we will sort it out.

Do I have to print it?

No. Every letter has a private link you can send instead, made to be opened together on a phone. Printing is what most people do for the keepsake, but the link works on its own.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes, including printing if your phone can reach a printer. The letters are laid out at US Letter size and the preview shows exactly what will come out.

Will you write letters from religious figures?

No. Letters here are written by folk figures, helpers and symbols — the Shamash, the Diya, the Eid Moon, Amu Nowruz, Saint Nicholas as the historical bishop. No deity or prophet is ever the author of a letter or depicted in the artwork. The sacred material appears in the history sections, described as each community describes it.

Can my child look at this site?

The photo signs are built for exactly that — a child fills those in themselves, and nothing on those pages mentions or links to the keepers. The rest of the site is written for grown-ups and does discuss how the traditions work.

What happens to what I type?

A letter is stored only when you ask for a link or keep it to your account. We do not sell anything to anyone, and the children's names you enter are never used for advertising.
