The Child
The Child archetype — play, wonder, wounded innocence, and the younger self still living in the adult body.
The Child appears as literal children, childhood home returns, or playful absurdity breaking adult scenes. Not all child dreams are nostalgia — some rescue the part that was rushed into duty too early.
In dreams
Lost child, inner child healing, child in danger — high charge themes. Pair with baby when incubation symbolism overlaps.
Gift and shadow
Gift: curiosity, joy, renewal. Shadow: helplessness, tantrum, refusal to grow where growth is due.
