🌙 Dream Symbol Meaning
People
Lost Child
anxiety, responsibility, helplessness
A lost child in a dream often reflects anxiety about responsibility -- a fear of failing to protect something vulnerable, whether that's a literal child, a project, or a part of yourself. The helplessness of searching without finding can mirror a real situation where you feel you've lost track of something important. Finding the child again usually points to relief that the responsibility hasn't actually slipped away.

✦ Astro Quote
While studying astrology I have applied it to concrete cases many times. ... The experiment is most suggestive to a versatile mind, unreliable in the hands of the unimaginative, and dangerous in the hands of a fool, as those intuitive methods always are. If intelligently used the experiment is useful in cases where it is a matter of an opaque structure. It often provides surprising insights. The most definite limit of the experiment is lack of intelligence and literal-mindedness of the observer. ... Undoubtedly astrology today is flourishing as never before in the past, but it is still most unsatisfactorily explored despite very frequent use. It is an apt tool only when used intelligently. It is not at all foolproof and when used by a rationalistic and narrow mind it is a definite nuisance. - C. G. Jung: Letters, volume 2, 1951-1961, pages 463-464, letter to Robert L. Kroon, 15 November 1958
