The lion stands for courage, pride and authority. Meeting one is traditionally read as meeting your own power — or someone whose power looms over you. A calm lion beside you is linked to confidence and to a strength you can rely on. Being attacked or chased by a lion points to a struggle with authority, ego or a fierce emotion such as anger. A roaring lion is read as a need to speak up and be heard; a tiger carries much the same meaning, with more stress on hidden passion and danger. Dream books ask where in your days you are hiding your strength or meeting someone else’s.

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.
