The old reminder that all must die is read as an invitation to live well now. A skull, an hourglass or the phrase itself in a dream points to perspective and to what truly matters.
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.
