A cast holds a broken limb still while it heals, so it is read as a time of enforced rest. Tradition sees it as protection that limits you for your own good.
Has this come up in your dreams before? What was going on in your life then?
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.
