A swamp is traditionally read as being bogged down — in a situation, a mood or obligations that make it hard to move. It also stands for murky feelings that have not yet found an outlet. Wading through it points to slow, tiring progress, while being lost in a swamp suggests confusion with no clear way out. Creatures hidden in the water are read as fears below the surface. Reaching firm ground is taken as relief and a fresh start.

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.
