A pay cut is read as a feeling of being worth less to others than before, or of effort going unrewarded. Dream books link it to fears about security and recognition.
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.
