A game is read as rivalry, rules and risk taken lightly. Winning or losing in a dream traditionally speaks of how you measure yourself against others. Playing with children is linked to lightness and to an old, playful part of you, while cheating or being cheated points to a sense that the rules are unfair. A game that never ends is read as a situation that keeps repeating. Not knowing the rules stands for feeling unprepared in a new setting. The dream may ask whether something in your waking life is being treated as a game.
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.
