Going back — to an old home, a school, a past time — is read as unfinished business and a wish to pick something up again. Returning to a childhood house is linked to memories and to the person you were then, while finding the place changed points to the sense that you have changed too. Coming back from a journey is read as integration of what you learned. Being unable to return stands for a door that has closed. A return of someone from the past carries the image of an old feeling resurfacing for another look.
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.
