Toys

Dreaming of toys is interpreted as a repressed desire to return to childhood. It indicates a fear of commitment and adult responsibilities. The dreamer feels overwhelmed by the weight he carries and seeks refuge in a safe, happy time, free from obligations and responsibilities.

If this dream is an unconscious way of expressing your hidden feelings, you should ask yourself which aspect of your life is represented by each toy. On the contrary, it could be that the dream is advising you to stop playing with your life and that you need a more practical, grounded point of view.

In general, this is a favorable dream, since it augurs happiness for children and their families.

Toys may be a reflection of the inner child who wishes to come out and play

These can be memorable toys from your own youth, or those for which you longed as a child.

Each toy envisioned will likely carry’ different connotations.

For example, seeing a rag doll could indicate that, in this situation, you feel as if you’ve lacked backbone or firmness.

A fire truck mav act as counsel to put out a figurative fire that’s been raging. Building blocks reflect self-construction and foundation work, and an ABC’s coloring book might symbolize the need to return to the “basics” again, instead of focusing so much on frills.

If you dream of toys, you may be expressing an impulse and a desire to return to the playfulness of childhood and a more innocent time in your development. You must decide if the toys in your dream indicate that this impulse is a supportive and creative move toward incorporating more childlike qualities into your daytime life in a productive way, or if you are expressing a desire to escape your adult responsibilities.
