What does child mean in a dream?
A child in scientific dream interpretation is a diagnostic symbol indicating infantility. When an adult sees themselves as a small child in a dream, the natural principle shows the age point at which normal development ceased. This could be the moment when an alien program intervened, a traumatic event occurred, or suppression of natural instincts by the external environment began. The child's age in the dream has diagnostic significance: it may indicate the specific period when the development 'stopped.' The person has physically matured but psychologically remains stuck in the behavior model characteristic of that age.
What do different contexts of child in a dream mean?
Seeing yourself as a child
Infantility — psychological 'age' doesn't match the physical one. The specific age of the child may indicate the moment when development stopped.
Someone else's child
May indicate infantile qualities of another person in your environment or your attitude toward the dependent and helpless.
Crying child
Unsatisfied natural needs suppressed in early age. The cry is a signal of incomplete development.
Caring for a child
The need to 'grow' a suppressed part of yourself — to develop what was blocked.
