Shrinking or growing in a dream may reflect shifting self-perception, and how big or small you feel in a situation. Feeling tiny among giants can echo powerlessness, while towering over familiar things may reflect confidence, or the feeling of being too much.
Stories like Alice in Wonderland use changes in size to express confusion and growth alike, which makes the image familiar and a little whimsical.
These dreams often arise in periods of transition, when your sense of your own place is being updated. The dream may not be about size at all, but about scale: how much space you feel you are allowed to take.
Ask yourself where you feel too small or too large, and what size would feel right.
