Gold is read as what is most precious and lasting in you. Hidden treasure is the classic image of a gift that has not been claimed yet. Finding gold is traditionally read as recognising your own worth or a quality that had been overlooked. Gold that turns out to be fake points to doubt about whether something is as valuable as it looks. Wearing gold suggests pride and confidence, while losing it is read as fear of losing something dear. Dream books read gold as inner value, never as a hint about wealth to come.

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.
