娱乐性解释：
To see toys in dreams, foretells family joys, if whole and new, but if broken, death will rend your heart with sorrow. To see children at play with toys, marriage of a happy nature is indicated. To give away toys in your dreams, foretells you will be ignored in a social way by your acquaintances.
