Garuda, the great bird mount of Vishnu, is read as speed, courage and the triumph of the higher self over fear. Dream books link it to rising above what tries to bind you.
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.
