The lute belongs to old courts and troubadours, so it is read as refined feeling and love expressed through art. Dream tradition links it to the past, poetry and courtly devotion.

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.
