Being a child again

Becoming a kid again, Child again, Younger self

Suddenly you're small again, looking up at the world from child height. This kind of dream often comes when you'd like to put down adult responsibilities for a while, or when an old feeling from childhood has been stirred by something recent. Being little can feel wonderful, full of curiosity and play, or helpless if adults were making all the decisions. Notice where you were and who was with you, because they point to the time of life the dream is drawing on. A soft, nostalgic feeling that lingers into the morning is common, and usually a sweet one.
