Red, strained eyes are read as exhaustion, overwork or sorrow that has not been rested. Dream books see them as the strain of looking too hard at something for too long.
Does the traditional reading fit your dream, or did it mean something else to you?
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.
