Scarcity is read as the fear of not having enough — time, attention, affection or means. Dream tradition asks what is being rationed, since that is where the worry sits.

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.
