Children

In the Language of Mind, children are undeveloped aspects of yourself — qualities you have already begun to grow but that are not yet mature. Look at the form and function: a child is a young person who has been around a while, has started to develop, yet still needs constant attention, guidance, and nurturing to reach adulthood. So in you, every person in a dream is a characteristic of your own personality, and a child mirrors a part of yourself still becoming — promising, alive, but far from finished. When children fill your dream, examine where in your waking life you have planted a new way of being that is now mid-growth and quietly asking for your care. Read the variations closely: children happy and thriving show a quality developing in health, while a child neglected, lost, or in danger shows a developing aspect of you that you have abandoned and must turn back toward. Notice the gender too — a boy is a developing aspect of the conscious mind, a quality you are deliberately learning, while a girl is a developing aspect of the subconscious, a tendency rising naturally from within. That is one symbol, read clean. The house they ran through, the road they crossed, the water they played in are still speaking. Your subconscious talks to you every night in this exact language; CHITTA is where you learn to read the rest of the sentence. Go within, or go without.
