Teenager

Teenagers, Teen, Teenage years

The teenage years are a time of big feelings, loud music and the first real fights for independence. Dreaming that you're a teen again often brings back that restless energy, maybe because you're questioning rules you once accepted, or wondering who you'd be without them. Parents of teens know the push and pull over each new freedom, and the dream may be replaying a recent standoff about curfews, phones or plans. A teen who slams doors and won't listen can be your own impatience, wanting change faster than it's coming. A confident teenager can stand for the bold part of you that still says "watch me."
