A curator chooses what is shown and what stays in storage, so dream tradition reads the figure as the part of you deciding which memories and qualities go on display.
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.
