Diaper
Nappy, Changing a diaper, Dirty diaper
Diapers belong to the least glamorous side of caring for someone: frequent, messy and never finished for long. A dream about changing one is often about routine duties you handle without applause, at home, at work or in a relationship. Doing it quickly and cheerfully shows you're coping well with the unexciting parts of your role. A full diaper that nobody has dealt with can mean a minor issue has been left too long. Wearing a diaper yourself as an adult is a different picture: it can come up when you feel treated like a child, or when you secretly wish someone would take over the boring basics for a while.
