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.
Money
Money in dreams represents self-worth, personal power, and the energy of exchange. Finding money may indicate discovering hidden talents or self-worth. Losing money reflects fear of loss or diminished self-esteem. Counting money might indicate evaluating your personal assets — not just financial, but emotional and spiritual.
