Dreams involving children often symbolize innocence, vulnerability, or aspects of yourself that are childlike. Rubbing Vaseline on a toddler's hair could represent a desire to nurture or protect something precious in your life. It may also suggest a need to care for or smooth over a situation that feels rough or challenging.

The act of applying Vaseline, which is typically used for protection and healing, might indicate a longing to provide support or comfort to someone (or even yourself) who may need it.

Consider reflecting on your current life circumstances: Are there areas where you feel the need to care for someone or even aspects of yourself? This dream may be encouraging you to embrace your nurturing side or to address vulnerabilities in your life.
