This dream may symbolize a fear or anxiety about your daughter growing up too quickly and losing her innocence. The sudden jump in age from 4 to 17 or 18 may represent your fear of her becoming a teenager and facing the challenges and dangers that come with that stage of life. Your confusion about her age and her mother’s response of her being 9 may suggest your own uncertainty about how to handle your daughter’s development and protect her from the outside world. The fact that she tells you she is 8, a number between 4 and 9, may symbolize the transitional stage she is in and your struggle to accept it. The way she is dressed may represent your concerns about her appearance and how others may perceive her. The statement that you are the enemy may reflect your fear of losing your daughter’s love and connection as she grows older and becomes more independent. Overall, this dream may be a reflection of your worries and insecurities about your daughter’s future and your role in it.
