Little boy
Young boy, Small boy, Little boys
Little boys tend to burst into dreams full of noise and motion: scraped knees, pockets full of treasures and a plan that changes every minute. A little boy can stand for raw enthusiasm, the urge to climb, build and test limits before anyone says it's too risky. Many people, men above all, grew up hearing that boys shouldn't cry, so a little boy in tears may show feelings you learned early to keep to yourself. If the boy seemed to be you, the dream may ask what that young adventurer would think of the life you've built. A boy racing ahead and waving at you to keep up can mean an adventurous streak wants you to follow it for once.
