When you dream children what does it mean?

Answer 1

The question is far to broad to suggest any interpretation. A dream about kids on a playground would be very different from a dream of kids on a boat, or at a party, and so forth. Very generally, the kids could symbolize the dreamer's own childhood.

Answer 2

The question is too vague for a meaningful interpretation. The meaning of the dream would be very different depending on who the children are, where they are, what they are doing or what is being done to them. For example, a dream of happy children on a playground is very different from a dream of crying children in the rain.

Answer 3

I think that it means you are going to have kids that are always outside and playing with their friends.

This dream image of kids playing illustrates your own emotions about something in your real life. The meaning of the dream lies in the feelings you experienced in the dream: perhaps you long for your own past childhood when you were free from concern and your parents dealt with problems for you. Or perhaps you feel as it people around you are behaving like children and not taking matters seriously. Yet again, as the contributor above suggests, you might yearn to have children of your own. Only you can identify the issue these kids represent in your own life.

Answer 4

If you feel frustrated, irritated or impatient in the dream, it might suggest that in your real life situation you feel surrounded by immature, childish people. These people might all depend on you or they might simply seem to be playing around while you are trying to get serious work done.

Answer 5

There tend to be two distinct schools of thought about dreaming of a child or children. One group, Jung included sees children as representative of new beginnings, fresh ideas, etc. The other group, Freud included see a child or children as a sign of regression to a child like (dependent) state.

Personally I have always interpreted children as a state of innocence and child-like wonder.
