Water is the dream book’s symbol for emotion. Clear, still water is read as calm and clarity; muddy or rising water as feelings that are stirred up or too much to hold. Drinking clean water is traditionally linked to refreshment and renewal. Flowing water speaks of life moving on, while stagnant water points to something that has been left too long. Water flooding a room is read as emotions spilling into everyday life. Walking on water stands for confidence in the face of feelings that would usually overwhelm; it can help to notice how the water in your dream mirrored your mood.

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.
