Child
Children in dreams often represent your inner child — the innocent, playful, or wounded part of yourself that formed in early life. A happy child suggests connection with joy and spontaneity. A neglected or crying child may indicate that your inner child needs attention. An unknown child can represent untapped potential or new creative projects. Your own children in dreams may reflect parental anxieties or the qualities they represent.
Eyes
Eyes in dreams represent perception, understanding, and the ability to 'see' truth. Losing sight may indicate denial or unwillingness to see something. Extra eyes or enhanced vision can represent heightened awareness or psychic sensitivity. The 'third eye' in dreams connects to spiritual perception.
