      summary: Parse a dream for free without an API key
      description: Send one UTF-8 dream narrative of 1–6,000 characters plus an optional recurrence hint. No authentication is required. Use this endpoint when an agent or prototype needs structured features—entities, actions, emotions, agency, threat, outcome, sensory cues, and recurrence—without generating an interpretation. Dream text is processed in memory and is not stored or added to the contribution corpus. Limited to 12 requests per minute and 100 per day per client.

      summary: Parse a dream into structured context
      description: Requires a reviewed DreamThreads partner bearer key. Send one UTF-8 dream narrative of 1–6,000 characters plus optional waking-life, physiological, or recurrence context. Use this endpoint for downstream indexing, journaling, research, routing, or analytics when a user-facing interpretation is not needed. The response returns structured entities, actors, locations, actions, emotions, agency, threat, outcome, sensory cues, recurrence, context flags, parser version, and timing; it does not generate a meaning claim.
