Toys

Toy, Playthings, Toy box

Toys belong to the part of life where nothing had to be useful. Dreaming of them can send you back to childhood play, or show that your days have become all work and no fun. A favorite toy from long ago often carries a specific memory, so ask yourself where it was kept and who was around. Toys belonging to your own children or grandchildren feel different: care, worry and pride mixed together. Sharing toys or fighting over them can show how fair things feel between you and the people in your life today.
