The sledgehammer is read as overwhelming force aimed at breaking through an obstacle. Dream books see it as frustration, or as determination to clear something old out of the way.

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.
