Dreaming of a neglected child may indicate some unfulfilled desires or lost relationships in your life. It can symbolize unfinished business or unresolved feelings in your personal life. Sometimes, this type of dream serves as a reminder that you are facing challenges and seeking solutions. It may also reflect a lack of self-confidence or a need for compassion.
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions â entry "Waif" (page 465) â resolved via the equivalent "Orphan" entry.
Picking-up an abandoned infant in a dream means picking-up one's enemy, in conjunction to the story ofMoses and Pharaoh. Picking up an abandoned child in a dream also could mean returning things to the way they should be, or dispelling distress and sorrow. Ifone sees himself planting an apple tree in a dream, it means adopting an orphan, or caring for one. To find oneself as an orphan in a dream means depression which is caused by injustice. To be an orphan in a dream also means feeling depressed because of one's love for a woman, loss of property or money.
Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
