Showing Compassion

To see in a dream that you are showing compassion to a child, if the child is not one known to you, is an indication that a youngster is in need of your help, love, and affection. Do not refrain from stroking the heads of children and showing them love.

To see in a dream that you are showing compassion to a child known to you indicates that you are excessively solicitous toward children and that your level of anxiety is high. Yet such a degree of anxiety is not good; it is beneficial to let matters proceed in their natural course and, within certain limits, to allow everyone to learn and grow by themselves. Otherwise, your child cannot become an individual.

To see in a dream that you are showing compassion to an elderly person is interpreted as meaning that you should attach importance to the elderly people in your life and strive to understand them.

If you are a woman and dream that a strong and powerful man whom you regard as such is showing compassion to you, then, if you are unmarried, it indicates that your fortune in marriage will open shortly and that you will find someone who, as you seek, will take you under his protection and care. If the dreamer is a man, he will receive the help, support, and approval in his work from a man older than himself.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

In the interpretation, the themes of emotional life and success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream and how the symbol concludes should be evaluated together.
