Cloves were long used to ease sore mouths and to scent winter drinks. Dream tradition reads them as protection, warmth and a strong presence in small form.
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.
