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.
