Child in a dream
A child in a dream is read as a carefree spirit, sincerity and a reminder of what once made you happy.
In folk belief, a child in a dream stands for pure joy and sincerity, but also for the care you carry for someone. Children at play are read as merriment and carefree days, and a child holding your hand as trust that has been placed in you. Old dream books say this dream often comes when you need a little play and lightness. Take it as an invitation to smile more often.
