A single word that stands out in a dream is traditionally treated as a message from your own mind. Dream books suggest looking at it literally first, then at what it sounds like.
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.
