Dependence in dreams often signifies feelings of vulnerability, reliance on others, or the need for support in waking life. These dreams may manifest as scenarios where the dreamer finds themselves unable to function independently, such as being lost in unfamiliar places, seeking help from others, or feeling trapped in a situation that requires external assistance.

Common symbols associated with dependence include:

• Children: May represent the dreamer's own vulnerabilities or needs for care and nurturing.
• Falling: Suggests a fear of losing control or the inability to rely on oneself.
• Chains or Restraints: Indicate feelings of being held back by situations or relationships, highlighting a lack of freedom.
• Supportive figures: Friends or family members may appear, symbolizing the dreamer's reliance on these individuals for emotional or physical support.

Dreams reflecting dependence can be a call to explore areas of one’s life where independence needs to be nurtured or where seeking help is necessary. They may prompt self-reflection on personal desires for autonomy or indicate existing relationships that might be enmeshed or codependent.
