Dreaming of an adopted child who ran away returning - dream meaning with inherited lore

The child you adopted suddenly runs out of the house and is gone for a while. You wait anxiously, then see the child return.

Korean lore: Traditionally, a child leaving and then coming back has sometimes been read as a relationship that had drifted apart reconnecting, or as something you feared losing returning to you. In the context of adoption, it can also reflect a wish to keep embracing a new responsibility. (We based this on a folk interpretation that reads a family member or child leaving and returning as a change in a relationship and a chance to reconnect.)

Through the mind: A scene like this may come to mind when you’ve been worrying about whether you can protect someone dear to you or take good care of a responsibility. Whether you felt relieved when the child returned, or still uneasy, may offer a clue to what you need in your relationships right now.
