A marathon is the classic symbol of endurance — a long task that has to be paced rather than rushed. Dreaming of one is read as persistence through a lengthy stretch of life.
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.
