What are possible meanings for dreams of toys?

Toys in a dream can refer to childhood, either to that time of life specifically, or to the sorts of activities, behaviors, and feelings typical of children.

Toys are for fun. They’re used spontaneously and creatively and spark feelings of happiness and contentment. You can dream about playing with toys as a way of capturing those feelings or symbolizing something else you do for fun. Adults can have toys, too: your boat, your tools, your guns, your high-tech drone, your computer, your liquor cabinet. Anything associated with fun. Include activities under that umbrella: going to the beach, playing in the snow or rain, playing a game.

You can toy around with a person or idea, meaning you are giving it less than serious consideration. If you toy with a person’s feelings it means you manipulate him or lead her on. In a dream, that use of the symbolism could be expressed in a scene where you dress the person up like a doll or action figure. See: Dolls

Toys tend to pop up in the dreams of teens and adults whose lives have become too serious or mechanical. It can be a sign of missing the spontaneity and freedom associated with childhood and playing. You need to lighten up, and you need time to play.

It’s only a rule of thumb, but if you recognize the toys in your dream as ones you played with as a child, they’re more likely to refer specifically to your childhood, instead of to what childhood can symbolize. The meaning is found in what a toy means to you.

It’s always important to consider what a symbol means to you. For example, if you dream about a toy that you and a sibling used to fight over, consider that it could represent issues related to arguing and sharing. If the toy is one a beloved grandparent gave you, it might connect with family, security, and guidance. Or it acts as a reminder of that person and what he or she gave you: love, attention, security, confidence, advice.

If you dream about a toy you are highly protective of, ask yourself whether protecting the things dear to you has been a theme in your life lately. It might refer to protecting your inner, sensitive nature. See: Frogs, Turtles

The symbolism can connect with maturity. For example, you start dating someone and dream about the person playing with toys, a way of saying you perceive the person to be young at heart. Or you dream about a co-worker playing with toys at her desk, a way of saying she plays around instead of working.

Childhood toys taken from you can symbolize something about your childhood taken from you: innocence, fun, freedom. In a dream detailed elsewhere, a box of childhood items connects with the dreamer’s ability to make her own decisions. See: Thieves

Weird dream sign from God?

My husband and I (both 28) have been married for 10 months. We have decided to try for a baby and its been 3 months so far. I was on the pill for 14 years and heard women on the pill that long are usually fertile right away. I'm feeling discouraged because everyone in both of our families got pregnant right away and it seems like it's taking so long for us. We got a house, got married, have good jobs, got all the toys we wanted, got our traveling out of the way and now it still hasn't happened. My cousins and sisters are unstable and don't have serious relationships but yet they all have kids. I pray to God a lot but don't go to church so I'm not super religious but I do believe in a higher power. I pray and ask for God to do whatever is meant to be. If a baby is supposed to be for us please let it happen soon. But if it's not supposed to happen then I don't want to go through a miscarriage or something. Last night I only slept 3 hours and woke up off and on and Everytime I fell back asleep I continued the same shitty dream. I dreamt my husband cheated on me with his ex and left me for her. In my dream I was saying how it was a sign from God thats why we never had a baby that he knew this would happen and didn't want a baby to be in that mess. I'm trying to not cry about it right now but I am. Is this a sign from God it's not meant to be? But I'm trying to be positive. Should I be happy that it's not true and that's not the situation? I suffer from anxiety and depression and I've been doing so good until lately. Now today its very bad.

A little back story.. when we first got together about 6 years ago he did cheat on me and I punched his face and left his ass immediately. He begged and did everything I wanted to get me back. I dated people and kissed guys all in front of him. He paid for expensive stuff for me cuz honestly I was just trying to use him.(yes I know very toxic) About 6 months of me using him and him sticking around I gave him another shot and here we are.many years later. Happy as can be with 2 fur babies, some chickens, a boat, a big house, nice cars and I'm so spoiled everyday. I love him so much and I know he loves me but that dream really fucked me up. Idk what I'm looking for. I wish I could just talk to God but I guess reddit is all I have right now. P.s. none of our families or friends know we're trying for a kid so I don't wanna vent to them at all. We both come from big families (I'm the oldest of 7 he's the youngest of 6) so it hurts Everytime someone asks when is the baby. And no we're not Mormon or rich at all... just come from ghetto backgrounds. One of the few that broke the cycle, or is at least trying to. I wrote this hours ago and struggled to post it so Thanks to anyone that reads this and has some, hopefully, positive vibes for me.

I dreamed I was vomiting up pieces of wood…

As the title says, I was barfing up these pieces of colorful wood, like you may see on a bird or rodent chew toy.

It was very distressing. I have emetophobia and I woke up super shaken. Is there a meaning behind this? I work in a pet store which is where I think my mind got the pieces of wood from.

I knew I was dreaming but couldn't wake up

So, this dream happened a couple of years ago. I will never forget it, and I hope it never happens again.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as a lucid dream, because I was aware I was dreaming but I could not control things in the dream.

I'll preface the situation with the fact that I was at the end of my lease at the apartment I was living at, and I had just cleaned my room out and moved mostly everything to my new place, except for my mattress and phone charger.

It started when I woke up in my empty room off my mattress on the floor to the sound of a smoke alarm that took the place of my ceiling light. I couldn't get the smoke detector to shut off, there was no smoke in the room, I took the batteries out and it still wouldn't shut off. The whole time I haven't tried leaving my room. I called my sister and asked her to help me shut it off, and she came over and couldn't help so sh left. I built some contraption for some reason out of old knex toys I used to have in some hope of holding the reset button but that didn't work either.

Then I noticed something.

If I moved my head side to side while looking at the smoke alarm, the direction of sound didn't change. The noise was constantly coming from my left ear, never changing in volume or direction. And it was at this moment I recognized the sound, and the direction I was hearing it from; it was my phone's alarm in my left ear because I was still asleep lying on the floor next to it. So in the dream I literally said aloud "shit, I'm asleep right now and that's my alarm." Which, to my surprise, did not wake me up.

I tried leaving my room but the door wouldn't open. I had blackout curtains so I couldn't tell what time it was or rely on sunlight waking my body up. I ended up huddling in the corner of my room in fetal position for what seemed like years because there was nothing I could do to wake up. The entire time still listening to the alarm continue to go off in my left ear.

Eventually I actually did wake up and shut my freaking phone off because it was still going when I legitimately woke up.

TLDR; my phone's alarm went off and it woke me up to a dream trapped in my room until I actually woke up.

So, this dream happened a couple of years ago. I will never forget it, and I hope it never happens again.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as a lucid dream,...

[Help] Dreamed that I impregnated an autistic girl.

Last night, I had a dream that I had a crush on a moderately retarded girl. She was on disability, and lived with her parents, but I thought she was cute, and I really liked her. I ended up visiting her house several times, and playing with her in her room. We made jokes, and played with toys, and played games, and told each other stories, and it was like I was a kid again. Her parents were fine with it because their daughter didn't have very many friends, and thought it was good to have someone her age. I told her that she was pretty, and she really liked it, we started holding hands and seeing each other more often. Eventually, somehow, I knocked her up. When I learned that she was pregnant with my baby, I remember feeling really weird. It was quite a pleasant dream until I woke up with a sinking feeling in my stomach and chest.

Please help, anons. What does this mean? I feel like a terrible person.
