A dream in which you see an injured child is a reference to the difficulties you might be having with growing and moving forward in life. This interpretation applies if the child you saw is unknown to you. But, if the child you saw in the dream is yours, it means there are certain elements surrounding the child’s life that might hamper their development into their full potential.
