What Does It Mean to Dream About Neglect?

To dream of neglect feelings of being thoughtless about inattention, ignoring something for too long, being absent, being preoccupied, or underestimated how difficult something is. Carelessly overlooking something that causes damage or trouble. Thoughts about not paying attention to something for a long while and noticing it's not working anymore. Feeling irresponsible because you weren't paying enough attention to something. Feelings about long-term oversight or lack of interest. Distractions that have consequences. Feelings of not caring about something when you're supposed to.

Alternatively, dreaming of neglect may also mirror waking life thoughts about not being careful enough.

Example: A woman dreamed of babies being neglected. In waking life she was having anxiety due to her inexperience related to her new job at a nursery for babies.
