Since infants lack the cognitive skills to communicate, we can only theorize about what they might dream about. If dreams originate from one’s surroundings, then their dreams might consist of toys, teething rings, warmth, wetness, mom and dad (only about half the cases is dad around), food, milk, music, TV, riding in the car (or SUV), the shopping cart, the stroller. Any event can be recalled in a dream and modified almost infinitely. But I forget how old kids are before their eyes can focus. Prior to that dreams would have to be sound, taste, touch, and fuzzy colorful blobs.

The funny thing is that kids are really atuned emotionally from the cradle (or even before). To the extent dreams contain an emotional content the emotions would influence or even dominate everything.

Come to think of it, its not so different when you get older......
