Dreaming of turning eighteen years old represents the transitional period between childhood and adulthood. You are legally an adult and have most of the privileges that come with being an adult – such as the right to vote, buy cigarettes, and are legally considered an adult. However, in many ways you are still a child and rely on your family of origin for support. Dreaming of turning eighteen could indicate a desire for more of the privileges of adulthood and the perceived freedom that comes with it. You may want to get away from your parents and finally feel that you are free to lead your own life in the way that you choose. This dream symbol represents transition – but it could also indicate a different transition other than that of a transition from childhood to adulthood. Examine the context of the dream to see if it represents a different kind of transition.
