Childhood Friend

Seeing a childhood friend in a dream is often a connection to innocence and unconscious memories.

Dream interpretation

A childhood friend in a dream symbolizes a connection to the past, innocence, spontaneity, and unchanged aspects of your Self. Such a dream is often a reminder of forgotten dreams, hobbies, or character traits you possessed before life's experiences changed you. If the dream is light and pleasant, you might feel a need to return to simpler times or rediscover joyful aspects of yourself. A troubling dream involving a childhood friend could indicate unresolved issues from that period or a feeling that you've lost a part of yourself. The dream encourages you to evaluate how true you've remained to your inner child.
