Smelling salts are read as a sharp jolt back to awareness. Tradition links them to sudden clarity after a faint or a daze, and to the need to wake up to something.
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.
