Dreaming of children

What kind of child were you? Were you an early bloomer always part of the “in crowd” or were you the nervous, misfit, ordinary looking duckling who bloomed later? One thing is sure that a glimpse at a child is an obvious symbol of playfulness, innocence and amazement. Children often represent one’s inner child in a dream and can have both positive and negative meanings.

In a positive sense, they symbolise unrealised potential or need for growth. Dreaming of children might relate to a desire to return to the past to recapture good times or to satisfy unfulfilled hopes. Such dreams also arise when you are faced with something unfamiliar or unknown.
