Rafters form the hidden frame of the roof, read as the deep structure that shelters you. Something hiding in the rafters stands for a thought lurking at the edge of awareness.
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.
