A restaurant is read as being served and as social life in public. Waiting for food that does not come traditionally stands for a need others do not see, while a lavish meal is linked to enjoyment and reward. Eating alone in a restaurant points to independence or loneliness, depending on the feeling. Not being able to pay the bill is read as worry about what something costs you. Ordering from a menu you cannot read stands for unclear choices. A café with friends carries the image of ease and belonging among people who know 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.
