Soda, your dream about the family moving into a new house is rich with symbolism and could be reflecting various aspects of your inner world and life situations. The big house for the big family suggests a new phase or environment in your life, perhaps something that feels expansive or overwhelming. The presence of the mom, dad, and four kids indicates different facets of yourself or roles you may be juggling. Switching perspectives between the children could signify your ability to view situations from multiple angles or your struggle to find a consistent sense of self.
The regression of the children, starting with the toddler turning into a baby and eventually ceasing to exist, might symbolize feelings of regression or loss in your own life. This could relate to fear of losing maturity, autonomy, or aspects of your identity. The parents' initial confusion and later realization of the curse could represent your own journey of understanding the deeper, perhaps hidden, issues affecting you.
The fact that the curse specifically affects the children, making them age backwards, might be indicative of a longing for simpler times or a fear of the unknown future. The toddler wandering out of the house and disappearing could symbolize a part of yourself that feels lost or ungrounded. The boy who asks his parents to take care of his sister because he feels he won't be around for her hints at a protective aspect of yourself that is aware of impending changes or losses.
The imagery of the bonfire where the little girl is found and eventually disappears could signify a transformative process. Fire often represents purification, destruction, and rebirth. The parents' frantic search and the eventual confrontation with the wizard suggest a struggle against external forces or circumstances that feel beyond your control.
The boy's attempt to break the curse with imprecise spells indicates a desire to change or improve your situation, even if you feel unskilled or uncertain about how to do so. The wizard's revelation that breaking the curse won't save his sister adds a layer of complexity, suggesting that solutions to your problems might not be straightforward or that some losses are inevitable.
Ending up at a grocery store, a place of choice and provision, and the girl regressing further to a state where she stutters like she did when younger, might reflect feelings of vulnerability and a return to old habits or insecurities when faced with new challenges. The family's forced confrontation with the wizard to break the curse implies a need to confront and resolve underlying issues rather than avoiding them.
