An unknown person is traditionally read as an unknown part of yourself — a trait, a wish or a fear that has not been given a face yet. A kind stranger is linked to new possibilities and help from unexpected places. A threatening stranger points to anxiety about the unfamiliar or about something you avoid in yourself. A stranger who feels deeply familiar is read as a hidden quality waiting to be recognised. Following a stranger stands for curiosity and a new direction. Dream books ask what this person carried that you might also carry.
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.
