What Does It Mean to Dream About Abandonment?

When we dream of being abandoned harbors feelings of insecurity, emotional support or unconscious fears. It is quite common for kids to experience nightmares about their families leaving them behind. These dreams may be a result of past traumatic events, divorces or fears that it may happen. To dream of a child being left behind connects to the dreamers own inner child that has been neglected or forgotten about. If you are left stranded it mirrors feelings of loneliness and lack of direction in your life. Left stranded by a bus suggests you have missed your stop to get to the next stage.

To dream that you are abandoned represents feelings of being neglected or overlooked. It may also reflect something in your life that you were confident about suddenly being unavailable.

You may also have a fear of being deserted, abandoned, or even betrayed. The dream may stem from a recent loss or a fear of losing a loved one.

The fear of abandonment may manifest itself into your dream to reflect insecurities or issues with self-worth.
