The conductor’s baton is traditionally a symbol of direction and coordination. Holding it is read as taking charge of many voices; watching it, as following someone else’s lead.
When this appeared in your dream, what were you feeling?
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.
