A teer dream number is a two-digit number that old Khasi dream interpretation charts connect to a dream symbol. If you dreamed of a snake, the chart might say 35. If you dreamed of fire, it might say 62. These are cultural references, passed down through tradition, not official numbers tied to the archery result in any way.
This piece walks through what dream number charts are, where they come from, how to read them, and, very importantly, what they are not.
⚠ Cultural reference only. Dream number charts are a cultural folklore tradition. They have no connection to the actual Shillong Teer archery result, which is determined solely by counting arrows at the Polo Ground. This article is for informational and cultural purposes only.
In Khasi culture and across Northeast India, there is a long tradition of connecting dreams to numbers. People believe that certain things you see in your dreams carry symbolic meaning. Over time, this belief produced what we now call the teer dream number chart, a reference list that maps dream symbols to two-digit numbers.
For example, someone wakes up and remembers dreaming of water. They look at the chart. The chart says water maps to a certain number, say, 14. That person notes this number as a cultural reference related to the day's teer archery event.
This is an old tradition. It did not start with teer. It comes from much older Khasi and Northeast Indian folklore about dreams and their meanings. Teer communities adopted and organised this into chart form over the years.
The Khasi people of Meghalaya have a rich oral tradition. Dreams have always held meaning in many indigenous cultures across the world, and Khasi culture is no different. Certain dream symbols were seen as signs, of good harvest, of rain, of health, or of danger.
Over generations, these symbolic meanings were passed down. Elders would interpret dreams. Specific symbols, animals, natural elements, people, objects, were each given a significance. When the number-based archery tradition of teer grew in Meghalaya, people began mapping these old dream symbols to the two-digit format that teer uses (00 to 99).
The result was the dream number chart, a cultural bridge between old Khasi dream interpretation and the modern state-regulated archery sport. It is a piece of living folklore, not an official system.
A teer dream number chart is simply a list. On one side: dream symbols. On the other side: two-digit numbers. You read your dream, find the symbol that matches, and note the number next to it.
Different charts can give different numbers for the same symbol. There is no single "official" dream chart. Various versions have been passed around in communities, printed in local papers, and shared online. The numbers vary between sources because these charts are cultural creations, not standardised documents.
Here is how a typical section of a dream number chart looks:
| Dream Symbol | Category | Associated Number |
|---|---|---|
| Snake | Animal | 35 |
| Tiger | Animal | 07 |
| Elephant | Animal | 22 |
| Fish | Animal | 48 |
| Dog | Animal | 13 |
| Fire | Nature | 62 |
| Water / River | Nature | 14 |
| Rain | Nature | 09 |
| Mountain | Nature | 27 |
| Tree / Forest | Nature | 56 |
| Gold / Jewellery | Object | 41 |
| Knife / Weapon | Object | 88 |
| House / Building | Object | 30 |
| Baby / Child | Person | 05 |
| Old person / Elder | Person | 71 |
| Dead person | Person | 44 |
| Flying / Bird | Action / Animal | 19 |
| Running | Action | 66 |
| Moon | Sky / Nature | 03 |
| Sun | Sky / Nature | 50 |
Note: These example mappings are for cultural illustration. Different charts may use different numbers for the same symbol. No chart has official status.
No. Dream numbers do not and cannot predict the teer result.
The Shillong Teer result is produced by a physical archery event. Hundreds of archers shoot arrows at a cylindrical target at the Polo Ground in Shillong. Officials count the arrows that hit the target. The last two digits of that total become the result.
That count depends on real, physical variables, how many archers came that day, how many arrows each shot, and how many actually hit the target. A dream you had the night before has zero connection to these variables.
Dream numbers are a cultural tradition. They give teer enthusiasts a way to engage with an old folklore practice alongside the archery sport. But treating them as any kind of result indicator is a mistake. The archery result is as unpredictable as any other sports score.
People often mix up dream numbers and common numbers. They are completely different things.
Common numbers use past archery results to produce a number through a formula. Dream numbers use folklore charts and your personal dream recall. Neither can tell you what the result will be, the archery event determines that, and only that.
Because it is part of the culture. That is the honest answer.
In Northeast India, teer is more than just a state-regulated archery sport. It is a daily social ritual. People gather, talk, share numbers, discuss dreams. The dream number chart adds a layer of cultural storytelling to that daily experience.
Many teer enthusiasts are not trying to "use" a dream number scientifically. They consult the chart the same way someone might read a morning horoscope, as a cultural habit with no serious claim to accuracy. It is part of the enjoyment and community conversation around the sport.
For older generations in Khasi communities especially, dream interpretation is a meaningful cultural practice. The teer dream chart connects that older tradition to a modern activity. That cultural connection has real value, separate from any question of whether the numbers correspond to the archery result.
A full teer dream number chart typically has 100 to 200+ symbols. The goal is to cover most of the numbers from 00 to 99, with multiple symbols mapping to each number.
Categories in a full chart usually include:
The more detailed the chart, the more specific the symbols. Some charts break down animals further, not just "snake" but "black snake", "white snake", "small snake", each with its own number.

The chart on InstantTeerResults.in covers all major categories, animals, nature, objects, people, and actions, with the full range of 00 to 99 represented across symbols. It is presented for cultural reference only.
Reminder: The dream number chart on this site is a cultural reference tool only. The Shillong Teer result is determined solely by the archery event at the Polo Ground, Shillong. Dream charts are not connected to the result in any way.
Using a dream number chart is simple. Here is how people typically do it:
If your dream does not clearly match one symbol, pick the closest one. Or look at multiple symbols and note all the numbers. Some people check two or three dream symbols per day and treat them all as cultural references.
That is common. Most people dream of multiple things in a night. Different symbols from the same dream may map to very different numbers on the chart.
There is no official rule for this. Some people take only the clearest dream symbol. Others take the first dream of the night. Others write down all the numbers they get. Since these are cultural references and not calculations, there is no "wrong" way to use the chart.
A teer dream number is a two-digit number that traditional dream interpretation charts associate with a particular dream symbol. It comes from Khasi cultural folklore and is used by teer enthusiasts as a cultural reference. It is not an official number and does not influence the archery result in any way.
No. Dream number charts are a cultural tradition passed down through folklore. The actual Shillong Teer result is determined entirely by counting the arrows that hit the target during the archery event. Dream charts have no mathematical or official connection to the result.
Common numbers are mathematically derived from previous result patterns using formulas like house and ending calculations. Dream numbers come from cultural dream interpretation charts and are not based on any calculation. They are two completely different things.
You can find the teer dream number chart on InstantTeerResults.in at the /teer-dream-number page. The chart lists common dream symbols and their traditionally associated two-digit numbers for cultural reference.
No. Nobody can know the teer result in advance. The result comes from an archery event at the Polo Ground and is determined only after arrows are counted. Dream number charts are cultural folklore, they are for reference only, not result predictions.
