The painted wild dog shares food with the weak and old of its pack. Tradition reads it as cooperation, care inside a group and the sense that no one is left behind.

My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
