It is a wonderful, sunny day in the countryside. You are looking over the hills and valleys in front of your house, while your kids are running around the backyard. Your daughter calls your name, and you turn to see why. She runs with her little legs straight toward you, with a huge smile on her face carrying a kitten. ‘I will take care of Mr. Furry, feed it and keep him warm, just like you take care of me!’ Tears of joy roll down your eyes, and just as you try to hug her, you wake up.
Seeing your daughter in a dream is a positive implication, foretelling that your worries and troubles will soon be soothed and replaced with love and harmony. The appearance of your daughter in a dream, whether you have it or not in real life, represents the feminine archetype and vulnerable aspect of you that needs support, care, and direction. The qualities that you ascribe to her, symbolize either your yearnings for a daughter or guidance regarding your inner child that is currently afraid and lost.
If the relationship with your daughter is emphasized in a dream, she personifies the relationship between you and your partner. In a woman’s dream, the daughter represents her mirror and successor on whom she’ll pass on the wisdom of life. In a man’s dream, the daughter symbolizes his doubts and insecurities about his own ability to accept and embrace his vulnerabilities. It is also important to note that dreams of your children usually imply a contrary vision – what affects your girls in a dream, will affect your boys, and vice versa.
