Technically the teenage years or adolescence extends from about the age of twelve to eighteen, or twenty-one at the latest. As you grow older, you may find that your dreams look back to your teenage years with feelings of wistfulness.
You may not want to go through the torments of adolescence again but you may like to unite your maturity and experience with your youthful energy and enthusiasm. Whereas dreams of childhood tend to be nostalgic, dreams that feature teenagers tend to be about wish-fulfillment.
If you are no longer a teenager, a dream in which you become a teenager again and hang out with your friends at a disco suggests that you are coping with life at present and not taking it too seriously. On the other hand, your dreaming mind may be urging you to chill out more.
If you revisit your teenage years in your dream or dream of teenagers, your dreaming mind may be urging you to recover some of your creativity, energy and sense of freedom.
If the young man or woman in the dream was acting in an immature way, as adolescents are prone to do, could your dream be warning you that your present behavior is stupid, immature and unproductive? If your dream featured images of school, examinations or college, the implication may be that you need to broaden your mind or take up new challenges. Alternatively, if school was a place of unhappy memories for you, it could be urging you to have a more positive, upbeat approach to life.
[1]Dreams of adolescence symbolize that you are in touch with your passion, eagerness, impetuousness, sexuality, and perhaps rebellion against social rules. Also, you may be going through a transition and a growth spurt, and you are feeling geeky and awkward in your own skin. Keep in mind that this “in-between stage” is transitory, and that if you persist, you will emerge fore powerful, wise and confident than ever before.
