Dreaming of an adopted child becoming an adult - dream meaning with inherited lore
Dreaming of an adopted child growing up quickly can hold the feeling that time in the relationship is passing fast and responsibility is entering a new stage.
The child who was once little appears as a teenager or adult before you know it. You may feel happy and proud, along with the sadness that you cannot return to the past.
Korean lore: Traditionally, seeing a child grow has sometimes been interpreted as the passage of time and growing changes within the family. A grown child may also symbolize a relationship moving into a new stage. (Folk dream reading often connects growth and the passage of time with changes in family dynamics and roles.)
Through the mind: You may be moving from one stage of your life into the next. The dream may also reflect a wish to step out of a caregiving role or the feeling that you need to become more independent.
