A guest is read as something new entering your private space — news, a person, an idea or a change you did not plan. Tradition takes a welcome guest as openness and a warm house as a sign of good company around you. An unwelcome or uninvited guest is read as a boundary being tested, and a neighbour who will not leave as a situation that has overstayed. Preparing for guests who never arrive is linked to expectations that others do not share. Dream books also note that the guest can be a side of you knocking to be let in.
When this appeared in your dream, what were you feeling?
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.
