What does it mean when you dream three dreams about a child and their father doesn't show until their four?

The question is not clear as to whether these are dreams about an actual child or simply a child in a dream. Generally speaking, the dreams are about something that is very important to you, whether a real child or something else to which you are committed. The absent father symbolizes someone who you feel should also be responsible and committed, but disappoints you by their lack of involvement.
