Caring for children in a dream is the brain organizing and attending to the most vulnerable parts of a current life situation. This mental sorting uses these figures to attend to the early stages of a project, an idea, or a personal hope that requires constant attention to survive.
The dream is a rehearsal for the management of dependencies that are not yet self-sufficient. When the mind processes these images, it is often weighing the capacity of the dreamer to sustain what has recently begun or what is currently being nurtured. This can lead to an experience of being overwhelmed by the weight of these new responsibilities. The dream offers a way to look at these obligations without the pressure of immediate action.
When a child is fostered, adopted, or taken in, the dream reflects a mind moving from a passing thought to a settled responsibility. This dream moves the idea of nurturing into a more permanent space, where the mind accepts a long-term role in sustaining what is being held.
Helping children expands the scope of the dream to include the support of multiple areas of dependency at once. This increases the complexity of the mental task, as the brain is no longer looking at a single point of care but at a broader field of needs.
Feeding children in a dream introduces the specific demand of maintaining a constant flow of energy or resources for a growing necessity.
Bathing children suggests a dream process focused on the purification or the fresh start of a delicate situation. This specific action indicates that the care being provided is intended to clear away previous complications or to establish a clean foundation for what is being developed.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
