An old saying heard in a dream is read as inherited wisdom offering itself at the right moment. Dream books take the proverb’s meaning as a comment on what the dreamer is facing.
When this appeared in your dream, what were you feeling?
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.
