What does child mean in a dream?
The child in scientific dream interpretation is a diagnostic symbol pointing to infantility. When an adult sees themselves as a small child in a dream, the natural core is showing the age at which normal development stopped. That may be the moment an alien program intervened, a traumatic event occurred, or the outside environment began suppressing the natural instincts. The child's age in the dream has diagnostic value: it can point to the specific period when development came to a halt. The person has grown up physically but psychologically remains stuck in the behavior model of that age. This shows itself in dependency, an inability to make decisions, a need for approval, and other infantile patterns.
What do different contexts of child in a dream mean?
Seeing yourself as a child
Infantility — the psychological 'age' does not match the physical one. The child's specific age may point to the moment development stopped.
Someone else's child
May point to infantile qualities in someone around you, or to your own attitude toward those who are dependent and helpless.
A crying child
Natural needs left unmet, suppressed at an early age. The crying is a signal of unfinished development.
Caring for a child
The need to 'raise' a suppressed part of yourself — to develop what was once blocked.
