A carpet beater shakes out dust that has settled for years, so it is read as a thorough, vigorous clear-out. Tradition also links it to old-fashioned spring cleaning and household order.
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.
