Boy in a dream
In folk readings, a boy in a dream stands for playfulness, curiosity and a venture that is only just beginning.
Old dream books tie a boy to lively, restless energy and the wish to explore the world. If you dream of an unknown boy, it is believed that a new idea is waking in you, or the courage to try something for the first time. A merry boy is read as a good start, a thoughtful one as a question you are still looking to answer. Sometimes he is also a picture of yourself as a child. The dream gently invites you not to forget how to play.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of an unknown boy
An unknown boy is read as a new idea that is only just occurring to you. By folk belief, it is worth giving it a chance, even if it looks unserious.
Dreaming of a boy running
Running and shouting are considered a sign of liveliness and of good news arriving fast. People say that after such a dream the day goes by with a spring in its step.
Dreaming of playing with a boy
Playing together means you are short on spontaneity. It is believed you will soon find time for something you do purely for the pleasure of it.
Dreaming of a boy smiling at you
By tradition, a child's smile opens the door to happiness. It is said that a small joy is coming your way, pure and sincere, with no strings attached.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
