Valentina is a Ukrainian-born psychologist, dream interpreter, and pet psychic. Dreams have been part of her life for more than two decades. She started keeping a dream journal in the early 2000s and still records the dreams that stay with her, especially recurring symbols and those strange dreams that seem meaningless until something later connects the dots. Growing up in Ukraine also meant growing up around superstitions, folk stories, dream omens, and little sayings passed down through families. That world stayed with her and eventually found its way into her writing. She first shared her interpretations on Quora and now writes about dreams, symbolism, and the spiritual side of everyday experiences at chi-nese.com. Outside of dreams and writing, her life is considerably less mysterious: books, baking, nature, hiking, beekeeping, and four cats who have very strong opinions about how she spends her time.
