Dream book child children dreamed Interpretation of sleep

Dreams about children are among the most significant and multifaceted. They can point to events in your children’s lives, to your relationship with your partner, to your own projects and endeavors.

If you dream about children, first of all determine whose child it is. The entire interpretation depends on this. Your own children show what is happening with them. Other people’s children – events in their parents’ lives. Unfamiliar children – changes in your own life. A child in a dream is always about something important: about relationships, about projects, about the future.

In this article I will break down what it means to dream about children, what a sick child, a crying child, a deceased child, a newborn means, and why children appear in dreams as adults. At the end I will give real dreams that came true and show how the symbol manifested in life.

If you want to check your symbols, go to the dream interpretation app. There you will find thousands of real examples from our project and a complete database of fulfilled dreams about children – more than 7000 symbols with interpretations and stories.

The main rule: whose child it is

You immediately need to determine whose child it was. Yours, your real one, yours in the dream but no such child exists in life, someone else’s child you know, someone else’s child you don’t know. This will be the key to decoding.

There are several main characteristics of this dream symbol that are essentially of fundamental importance for interpretation.

Dream about your own children

Dreams about your own children, whatever age they may be, always show in the dream what is happening with them, what worries them. And in dreams you can also see their thoughts, feelings and intentions. The mental world of our dreams is first and foremost a reflection of thoughts and emotions.

Very often children in dreams point to the relationship between the parents, that is, the father and mother of the child. Such dreams are the majority, especially during periods of quarrels or separation.

Any surge, that is, a strong emotion, obsessive, recurring thoughts – and in dreams this entire process will be reflected. Close people, especially those who care, love and worry, immediately catch such signals. These are what are seen in dreams. Next they need to be understood, and for that the symbolism of the dream must be decoded.

If you dream about other people’s children, almost the same can be said about children with whom you often interact or who are relatives. If in your dream you saw a child whom you worry about in life, and who is not indifferent to you, then in the dream you can likewise see something concerning him directly or indirectly. These could be grandchildren, nephews, sisters, brothers, as well as other relatives.

Other people’s children in dreams can point to problems or events in the lives of those people whose children they are. Older children, as a rule, in dreams mean themselves. That is, a dream about them.

Dream about your own children who do not exist in reality

If in a dream you know that the child is yours, although no such child exists in life, then the dream points to your (only your!) affair, project, endeavor.

And if in a dream you know that the child is yours and someone else’s, that is, for men – yours and a woman’s, and for women – yours and some man’s. In that case the dream points to a connection or relationship with a partner. And in such a dream, everything that happens to the child will in reality happen in the relationship.

If you dream about an unfamiliar child

Unfamiliar children are symbols (almost 98%) of your aspects of personality or circumstances in life. And if such children in a dream are beautiful, healthy, well-dressed, then the changes will be significant and positive.

Children are always an important part of a person’s life, no matter how one treats them. Therefore the symbol of such a dream will also have important significance in reality. Such dreams are worth paying attention to.

The full interpretation of all symbols related to children, with all nuances and details, is available in our app. There you will also find hundreds of real dreams where these symbols manifested in life.

Dreams in which adult children appear as small

Such a dream foretells worries and anxieties about children. Many mothers have such dreams before a child gets sick and needs to be looked after one way or another, given help and care.

By the appearance of the child and the plot of the dream, one can tell not only the degree of your anxiety, but also the reality of the threat of troubles. And if, apart from your feeling and worries, nothing else happened in the dream, then in life everything will be limited to your anxieties. But if there were any threatening signs, wounds on the body, any negative symbols, there is something to think about.

One must understand that dreams most often warn of the event itself. And if you correctly decode your dream, you can try to prevent the negative event itself in life.

If in a dream the child is sick or crying

According to the general characteristic of illnesses, in dreams it is an indication of some disruption of a normal way of life. However, there are two interpretations of this symbol.

If your child is ill in a dream, it means that in reality he or she feels bad. The degree of negativity in life can be determined by the child’s condition in the dream. The worse it is for him or her in the dream, the worse it is in reality. It also matters what exactly he or she has fallen ill with.

Fever, high temperature in your own child in a dream means emotional anxieties and strong experiences. It should also be taken into account that children can symbolically point to the relationship between the biological parents. If at the time of such a dream you are quarreling or there is a conflict.

Dreams in which your child or a child from the dream in your house is dying (dying), the dream foretells the collapse of hopes and plans. Seeing feeble-minded children in a dream means failure and the collapse of plans because of a wrong decision, choice, or action.

A dream in which a child or children (unfamiliar and unknown to you in life) are ill, foretells obstacles in affairs. The second interpretation. Dreams that contain information about health can point to problems of a physiological nature.

Dreaming of a disabled child foretells a hopeless situation, unless in your dream you are able to heal him or her, or by the very plot of the dream he or she will be healed.

A dream in which an unfamiliar child cries foretells deception or betrayal. If you see your own child crying, the dream means undeserved offense. If you hear the crying of your children, it foretells unpleasant news.

Dreams about beautiful, happy, and joyful children

Happy, joyful, playing, cheerful, contented, and beautiful children are a sign of good news, family happiness, peace, and tranquility. The same can be said of dreams in which children hug or kiss you. Such actions and emotions in a dream mean good and happy changes; as a rule, they later turn out to be significant.

If in a dream you played with children, it means achievement of a goal, fulfillment of a cherished desire. Bald or hairless children are a sign that your affairs will improve. This is the case if they are healthy and beautiful.

Street children are dreamed of as problems because of negligence, carelessness, and foolish recklessness. A child under the care of nurses foretells peace, order, and stable well-being for a long period.

To nurse children or a child yourself in a dream. The dream says that the matter you have started depends entirely on you. By the way, in such a dream you can immediately see what you will end up with. If the baby is beautiful and healthy, success and achievements await you. If there are flaws, in reality there will be delays, problems, and obstacles.

If children study in a dream, such a dream is a harbinger of the child’s well-being in the future. If children work in a dream, it means the fulfillment of desires.

Many children is a symbol that characterizes a brighter degree of manifestation of the characteristic. Therefore, the interpretation of how the children look will in reality be manifested to a greater degree. For example, if the children are sad or unkempt, it foretells worries and troubles. Beautiful, happy, and joyful ones foretell real joy in life, well-being, and true prosperity.

What the symbols in children’s dreams mean

If a child dreams of a snake, the dream means danger that the child senses. This symbol is the same for both adults and children. With the only difference being that adults already have many enemies and they almost always know them by sight, while children are still naive and do not suspect danger.

If your child dreamed that a snake was near him or her or touching his or her body, the dream may point to illness. Usually it is the place it touched in the dream. In all other cases, it means ill-wishers, including adults as well. This can also be determined by the plot of the dream: where the snake was and what size it was (if it was large, the dream points to an adult).

Fish are dreamed of by children during periods of their active development as individuals. Almost always, dreams with a good plot about fish point in life to the fulfillment of some childhood needs and desires, as well as the manifestation of abilities and the realization of opportunities.

Other children are dreamed of by children as characters from plots of everyday life, or imaginary situations that the child projects onto everyday reality. For children, the world around them is still a reality being created, in which they with great enthusiasm place everyone they like, as well as those they fear.

Why children get scared in dreams

Children have phantasmagorical dreams, in which frightening images surface from time to time. A child’s psyche is very vulnerable in infancy and childhood. If you notice that a child gets scared in a dream, flinches, cries out, wakes up in fright, you must eliminate the nightmares by any possible means.

Modern medicine can only offer medications, but you don’t really want to stuff your child with them. The effect could be the opposite or other problems could arise. A child’s energy is unprotected in childhood, so the role of protector falls entirely on the parents.

Children, infants and newborns laugh in their sleep because they see angels. This is conditional, of course. But personally I lean toward what I have repeatedly read in regression reports. Small children still see their teachers, friends and kindred souls from the Spirit World. Here on earth we are used to calling them angels among ourselves. Let it be so. In any case, they watch over them and care for them.

A child sighs in sleep – there is little love and attention from the parents, or not enough of it.

Fright in a dream means unforeseen events in life. To be very frightened – a surprise, a feeling that you cannot cope with the situation.

To be frightened of heights in a dream means fear of losing position, status, achievements at the present moment in your life. Most often such dreams occur when you have just achieved something, changed something in your life for the better, cannot get used to the new position and are afraid of losing it. It is bad if in your dream you begin to fall from a height. This means that you cannot hold on to your position.

To be frightened of a man in a dream – an intuitive premonition of aggression from some person. A warning to be prudent, careful.

To be frightened of a dog means that someone from your fairly close circle will cause you psychological damage: will insult, offend or humiliate you.

A dream about a scarecrow – the appearance of a threat, while in reality the threat is imaginary. Someone is simply intimidating you and feeding you nonsense for their own interests.

To be frightened of a dead person in a dream – something from your past will unpleasant remind you of itself.

A dream that came true: a deceased child and divorce

A dream before divorce. The first dream came before the divorce. And it was a terrible nightmare. If at that moment I had not found this dream book, I would have had to be put in a mental hospital, because emotionally it was impossible to cope.

In the dream, our child with my ex-husband died. I saw the corpse, the cooling body and knew that I could do nothing. Everything was in detail. Moreover, in the dream I could not understand in any way that it was not reality. And grief simply drove me insane.

I had this dream several times. I began searching everywhere for information, because a little more and I would have locked my child at home. I became afraid of everything. As a result, I found the dream book of our project and it turned out that the death of a child in dreams is a symbolic reflection of the death of the relationship between biological parents.

That is how it turned out later. Although at the time of the dreams I did not even seriously have a thought that we could divorce.

This dream shows how the subconscious can warn of divorce long before you yourself realize such a possibility. A child in a dream symbolizes the relationship between the parents. Its death is the end of the relationship, the rupture of the bond.

A dream that came true: losing a daughter and pinworms

A dream that came true about losing a daughter. I am with my daughter in a beauty salon. I leave her there, and I go to work myself, I say watch her, she is small. I am in the apartment of my childhood, there are shelves nearby. On a shelf at the level of my chest I notice a set of children’s toothbrushes and children’s nail polish. I look at the date of manufacture 2018. Valid until 2021. Oh, I think, it can still be used.

I am at the beauty salon again, I have come for my daughter. They tell me the services come to 800 hryvnias. I say why so expensive, we agreed on 500 hryvnias. They: “And besides the haircut we also gave your daughter a massage. You stayed late at work.” I do not want to pay, I go to sort it out. And the daughter at that time gets lost.

I look for her, someone suggests searching by car. I get into the car. I understand that I am being taken away from my daughter. In front there are 2 men and behind one man, a blond of short stature. I decide to jump over the man, and I jump out of the car. The man did not really stop me, although he wanted to. I run to look for my daughter, twilight. Toward me come 2 young guys, I asked them to help me. In the search, they agreed.

I search, but I understand that I can no longer find her and I have lost hope. I stopped, closed my eyes, I hope for help from higher powers, I am standing next to the entrance to this salon, it is already closed. And then from the east my daughter runs out and hugs me. She said she was in the Topolia store. That is the name of a grocery store. Under her eyes there are bruises, as if dark circles. We hug, I woke up.

How the dream came true. Three days later. We were planning to leave our daughter with my mother-in-law, since I was going back to work and we planned to leave her place early. It’s far—250 km to our city. In the morning before leaving, at half past four, in the twilight, my daughter wakes up and complains that her stomach hurts and she has discomfort in the genital area. I look and see pinworms crawling on my daughter. I think, yes, very severe worms, I won’t leave her with my mother-in-law. Since they need to be treated, I take her with me (the decision was made quickly and intuitively, like in a dream I jump out of the car).

At the same time, I felt embarrassed about how I would ask for time off work, since I had already taken one day off. It’s inconvenient, and today I’ll be late again. The man behind me is my boss. I did ask for the time off despite the awkwardness; he didn’t really object. The men in the front of the car are my coworkers; they stayed silent. The whole way I was grateful that I had made the decision not to leave my daughter.

I paid 800 UAH for the doctor’s visit. The signs of worms in my daughter and gastrointestinal problems were indicated by the dark circles under her eyes in the dream. In real life too, if there are worms, there are dark circles under the eyes. My planned visit to the beauty salon, due to the circumstances, was pushed back by 3 days.

The shelf at chest level with children’s toothbrushes and their expiration date indicated a symbol of time. I made the right decision to take my daughter from my mother-in-law. My husband and I had disagreements about this. He said she could have been left there, but I made the decision purely based on inner feelings.

And also, the name of the grocery store “Topolia”—that’s how it came true. Not far from my mother-in-law’s house, two large trees grow—poplars (topolia). So it turns out my daughter herself ran to me from the store, as if from my mother-in-law. She herself wanted to leave her, and despite the early 4:30 a.m. wake-up, she didn’t fuss. My husband said my decision had no common sense and couldn’t be explained by reason. But now I see that my daughter is fine and my decision was right.

This dream shows how the subconscious can warn about a child’s health problem. Losing a child in a dream is a symbol that in reality you may miss something important concerning their health. The dream gave a hint, and the participant made the right decision in time.
