Playground
Playgrounds, Jungle gym, Schoolyard
A playground takes you straight back to recess, scraped knees and the thrill of the tallest slide. Such a dream often reflects your playful side, or a longing for days when fun came easily. It can also be about social life: who you play with, who gets left out and how you find your place in a group. Laughing on the swings or slides is a sign you need more lightness. An empty or broken-down playground may show nostalgia, or a sense that it's been too long since you let yourself play.
Dream variations
