Doll

Dolls, Dollhouse, Puppet

A favorite doll from childhood can bring back a whole world of play, comfort and imagination. In adult dreams, dolls often connect to your inner child, to nostalgia or to the wish to care for someone. Control can come into it too: a doll does whatever it's told, so the dream may ask whether you feel like someone's puppet or are trying to manage others too much. A creepy doll is a common dream image; it often reflects something that looks harmless but makes you uneasy.
