Pruning cuts back so that the plant can grow stronger, and dream books read shears as a deliberate letting go. They stand for trimming commitments or ties that have overgrown.
Where in your waking life have you met something like this lately?
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.
