Adolescent
A young person in the years between child and adult — a body and a will that have not yet agreed on what they are.
An adolescent in a dream is the dream's image of a young person in the years between child and adult, a body and a will that have not yet agreed on what they are. The adolescent is neither; both phases are present and arguing. The dream brings the adolescent when something in your life — an emerging skill, a new identity, a difficult phase of a relationship — is in that middle register. An adolescent met with the right mix of patience and honesty is the dream affirming the middle phase. An adolescent dismissed as not serious, or pushed to perform as adult too early, is the dream noting that the middle phase is being denied its time, and the transition will not finish properly.
