A toy is read as childhood and a wish for simpler days. A doll or puppet can also stand for feeling handled by someone else, or for controlling others more than you mean to. A broken doll is linked to a lost innocence or a hurt from long ago, while a doll that comes to life is read as a buried feeling waking up. Finding an old toy points to nostalgia and comfort. A creepy doll is a common anxious dream about something that looks harmless but feels wrong. Playing with toys stands for creativity without pressure.

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.
