Innocent

Dreams about a paradise-like place, pure trust, or the loss of innocence. The innocent believes in the good.

Themes are lenses to explore your dream, not conclusions about what your dream "means".

The innocent is the archetype of purity and trust — the figure who believes in the good and a safe world. In dreams, this appears as a paradise-like place, childlike wonder, or the moment when that innocence is lost. This archetype can manifest in different ways: • An ideal, safe place where nothing can go wrong • Childlike wonder and carefreeness • Blind trust that gets betrayed • Losing naivety through a revelation • Returning to a more innocent time
