Dreaming about children is often a reflection of your inner child
There are so many ways you can dream about children that it is difficult to pinpoint the exact meaning of your particular dream.
The fact that your dream involves a child shows a complex relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you. Often the child in your dream represents the inner child who longs to be free and cared for.
Dreams about children are so vast and varied that it is difficult to assign meaning to each dream. Most of the time, however, dreams about children are representative of your inner child. If you are not sure about the meaning of your dream, or if none of the scenarios below describes your particular complex dream, try exploring the specifics of that dream in relation to your inner child.
For example, if the child in your dream is climbing a ladder, look at 'climbing' to see that it could be your inner child struggling to make it to the top and succeed. If you have a dream about a child falling, your inner child may feel defeated and too mature. When your child is in the cage, you have a hard time expressing your fun, playful side. Again, look at details to see what your whole dream could mean.
Detailed dream interpretation of children ...
You may have gotten the feeling of how you felt as a child or the other child in your dream. If the child seems happy and healthy, it's a good sign. Happy and healthy children reflect a happy and well fulfilled inner child. You express yourself freely, and you have shown enough of your inner child.
If the child in your dream is unhappy or sick, then there is something to be concerned about. Your inner child tries to get out, but it suffers. You don't allow yourself to enjoy the simpler things in life. Do something you love, and don't focus so much on the consequences. Play a video game, watch cartoons, do a puzzle, or play a board game. Your inner child will thank you for that.
To become a child in your dream can be a positive sign. However, if you are trapped in a child's body and you want to break free, you are holding yourself back from achieving anything or are hesitating about a significant life change. You don't work towards your goals and spend too much time in a fantasy world.
When you give birth to a child, you may be expecting fertility from yourself or a loved one in the near future. You can also long for a child or a relationship. When you suddenly become a parent, you may be thinking about a significant life change. You may feel that events in your life are coming too fast, and you wish they would slow down. Your job, schoolwork, or new relationship is all moving too fast, and your subconscious is telling you to slow down and take a break.
