Embalming preserves what has died, and tradition reads it as holding on — keeping a relationship, a memory or an old self looking intact long after its life has gone out of it.
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.
