THE DREAM The following are short summaries of dream which all contain 'little boy'. I have tried best to isolate the symbolic meaning of 'little boy' in each dream.

A little boy dream linked to the dreamers baby boy starting to walk more freely. The previous day he had got up and opened a door. This was a new phase in which he was now potentially much more of a danger to himself. The little boy was symbolic of her baby growing into a little boy and therefore needing more watching.

A dream where the dreamer is comforting a little boy linked to the dreamers son being ill the day before. This gave the dreamer a chance to mother her baby boy again. The little boy was therefore a symbol of her treating him more like a little boy again.

A dream about a little boy linked to the dreamer being a social worker. She knew that all the decisions that she made were important to those people and would seriously affect them.

A dream about a little boy who is ill linked to the dreamer having to run around various relatives due to their illnesses. The little boy was symbolic of their vulnerable and sorry state - illness can reduce an adult male to a little boy lost.

A little boy and little girl with their parents linked to the dreamer being a real mess suffering from stress. The little boy was therefore a symbol of him being the little boy lost.

A dream about two little boys sharing toys linked to the dreamer thinking about his friend. He was thinking how he might not have a camera the next day but was sure that his friend would help him out.

A touching a little boy dreamed to the dreamers thoughts about a guy she fancied. She thought that they would have become sex partners by now. The little boy was perhaps a symbol of his sexual innocence and nervousness.

A little boy growing up and dying dream was linked to the dreamer wanting to follow his own career. His own wishes were being ignored by his father.

A story of a little boy in a hula skirt linked to the dreamer thinking about her ex boyfriend. She had just found out that he was gay. The little boy was symbolic of her thinking about the development of his homosexuality.
