Many cultures describe a hag who sits on the sleeper’s chest, and tradition reads her as a weight of worry pressing down at night. She stands for helplessness and stress made into a figure, felt most strongly on the edge of waking.

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.
