Curlers are the in-between stage of getting ready, read as preparation that others are not meant to see. Being caught in them is linked to feeling exposed before you are ready.
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.
