Born and raised in Eastern Europe, where superstition runs deep, I fell in love with spirituality and dream interpretation at a young age. Since the early 2000s I’ve kept a dream journal—tracking patterns and writing interpretations—first on Quora and now here on our blog. When I’m not decoding dreams, you’ll find me reading, baking, wandering in nature, or tending my bees. Fun fact: My name is tied to Valentine’s Day—that’s when my parents met, so they chose Valentina.
