If you have given birth to a baby in a dream, it can represent a new phase of life; a new idea; new activity – as when we say someone has a new baby, meaning a new project or business. This ‘baby’ might be part of you that did not have a chance to be ‘born’ or express before. Or it may be things learned in a rich life that you could not put into practice because of circumstances. The baby in this aspect is the ‘you’ that could have been if you had been free from problems and past hurts.
In real life a baby is a blending of mother and father, and all they represent. A baby is a new thing that has been ‘born’ out of them and the circumstances they are involved in.
Example: My wife and I were walking out in the countryside. I looked around suddenly and saw my four year old son near a hole. He fell in and I raced back. The hole was narrow but very deep. I could see water at the bottom but no sign of my son. I didn’t know whether I could leap down and save him or whether it was too narrow. Then somehow he was out. His heart was just beating.
The dreamer had an argument with his wife the night before and was frightened it had killed his marriage. The baby son represented their marriage and his fear of the end of their life together, but the dream went on to show that it survived.
But the dream baby can also represent one’s own feeling urges at that level of development – such as possessiveness, joy, curiosity, responding to the world without words or formed concepts, innocent love, infant trauma; intense dependence; feelings of helplessness; vulnerability; lack of responsibility; and being cared for. Even as adults many of these early feeling responses still dominate the way we meet relationships and events. It is quiet common for instance for adults to feel intense and destructive jealousy about their sexual partner. This is exactly the sort of feeling we experienced naturally as a baby and child. Unfortunately in adulthood we seldom see such things as an emergence of baby feelings which we have not grown beyond. Instead we accept them as adult behaviour and justify them, often blaming our sexual partner for them – i.e. ‘You made me jealous by showing affection for that other man/woman’. The baby or child often feels murderous rage in connection with such dependence and jealousy, but it is too small to effectively act on the rage. When an adult feels such rage however, it is highly dangerous and irrational. See Beware of Love; victim; personal growth.
Aborted baby: In general something that was developing, a new facet of self, or a new opportunity that has now been lost or rejected. If in a pregnant woman’s dream, usually it is an expression of fears regarding ones ability to carry the child to full term – but it is wise to have a check. See: pregnancy.
Adult body with baby head: Suggests that the way one approaches life, ones thinking, is still immature, even though one is physically mature.
Adopted baby: Adopting a new stance in life, perhaps conceived by, or seen in someone else; taking on the responsibility of something or someone that needs care and help to grow; if you are trying to adopt a baby it would reflect feelings or intuitions about that activity.
Baby body with adult head: Suggests that while one has developed an adult intellect and rational thinking, or an adult self, aspects of ones feelings, hungers and sexuality remain at the baby level of development.
Baby Boy: If you have given birth to a baby boy, it is usually about the principle of maleness entering your life. Maleness is like the sun, it expresses most of its energy outwardly to give life. Whereas the female is like the earth, receiving and nurturing life.
Birth or emergence of a new phase of self expression in terms of activity or achievement. In a males dream may suggest a new self emerging, or new aspect of self.
Baby Girl: If you have given birth to a baby girl, it is usually about the principle of femininity. Femininity is about having the power of creating life within and nurturing its growth.
Baby Dying: The anxiety dreams include such images as giving birth to a baby who is only a few ounces in weight – the baby is malformed – the baby is born dead – the baby is blind or deaf or injured.
Castle was able to follow the dreams of over 200 pregnant women, often from about the time of conception through to their post natal situation and experience. One of his interests was to see if dreams showed signs of information about physical conditions that were not apparent at the time of the dream. He says that many dreams did in fact show that small shifts in the physical state, such as conception, were shown in appropriate symbols in the dreams of some women. So if you have a worrying dream about your baby it is worth making sure you check out its condition, something that with modern equipment is easily done. To quote Castle, “The unconscious mind of the pregnant woman seems able to monitor and detect biochemical imbalances, tissue abnormalities, or structural defects in the uterine environment and communicate an awareness of disturbed functioning through dream imagery, which is sometimes fairly literal, sometimes symbolic.”
Seeing a baby die in a dream can suggest many things. It can suggest that the most vulnerable part of you has been killed by your hidden emotions. Also I have received, over 40 years, many dreams of mothers who dreamt their baby or child was dead, and not one of them died. One woman who explored such a dream with me found that a death had taken place, represented by the child, and the death was that of her love for a man. She had ended a relationship that had lasted for years.
Dead baby: Dreaming that your child dies can have several meanings. In some dreams a parent, much to their horror dreams of killing their child. But our dream
child can represent many things, and it is useful to realise that any person, object or scene in a dream is not a symbol – it is not dead thing that has to be interpreted – it is a living part of you and can only be understood by relating to it.
So in this way I have found that a child can represent whatever our strongest feelings about them are. It can represent your marriage or partnership because it is what you have created between you. In that case the death of the child can depict something like an awful argument that feels as if it the marriage has died.
A child and its death can also show you how you have killed out the growing or adventurous side of you; or if you see your child as vulnerable and needing protection it could show you the death of that part of your feeling.
If a dream seems to predict the death of your child, it is wise to remember two things. the first is that a said above many dreams about our baby are actually about injury or death of our vulnerable self – See Characters and People in Dreams.
That predictive dreams are very uncommon. But if you are feeling it is predictive remember that the future is not set in stone. But you can pray for protection for your child and it can change the outcome.
Gifted or holy baby: Often shows the dreamer having given birth to parts of their personality which are connected with wider sympathies, or wider awareness, than their own personal ego or self. It may show an awareness of the universal processes of life. It is the same sort of meaning as Christ in symbolism. It can show the emergence of awareness of the levels of existence beyond the senses. See: esp in dreams.
Example: “Was in a basement where my wife and a woman I loved was giving birth to a baby, but I was somehow the one who gave birth to it without a doctor being there. It was a lovely boy. Its lower face was covered by a tight caul, but I pulled this off and it began to breathe. It opened its eyes and looked about, fully conscious; then said something about Jesus, and, “It is gone!” I asked what had gone, and it replied, “The other ego; where has it gone?” I explained that the spirit self it knew before birth was now gone so it could live in the body. The baby was then taken upstairs, and I felt it was a holy and wonderful baby. I was going to rest from the rigours of the birth, but on looking around saw how dusty and dirty the basement was. I began to clean it, and felt I would go upstairs and rest afterwards.”
The man who dreamt this said that he felt afterwards that at the time of the dream he had given birth to the very best of him. This became more and more obvious as years went by. Also he realised that his inner life, his unconscious, needed cleaning, and then began to go upstairs to his wider awareness. It could be helpful for you to use the following Talking As.
If you have given birth without any man involved, it suggests it is a virgin birth – i.e. no male partner was involved at the time.
Many women dream of giving birth without any man involved. Virgin birth is normal part of dreaming. It means that the woman or young girl has conceived as a process of Life. Being a virgin represents the human soul or psyche and its possibility of dropping pre-conceptions, thus attaining an inner virginity and through that being receptive to the unseen or unconscious side of self. Joseph Campbell in his book “Myths To Live By” says – “There are myths and legends of the Virgin Birth, of Incarnations, Deaths and Resurrections; Second Comings, Judgements and the rest, in all the great traditions. And since such images stem from the psyche (from you and your dreams), they refer to the psyche. They tell us of its structure, its order, and its forces, in symbolic terms.”
For instance, the story and events surrounding the virgin birth, when looked as if a dream are not about a biological miracle, but about how as ordinary people, we can drop our preconceptions, our fixed ideas and beliefs and allow an entirely new and creative impulse into our life. This truth has been so venerated that we find virgin figures all over the world such as Maya the mother of Buddha born 500 BC; the virgin mother of Osiris, and of course the story told of Mary.
Being a virgin in this case is about having a mind free from previous ‘conceptions’ and so being open to Life itself fertilising you for a new and precious thing being born. If you are not a virgin because you have had children, that is not what virgin birth is about. It is about conceiving without any mental preconceptions, having an open and receptive mind or soul. it is about a wonderful human possibility.
So the dream baby born to you in this way a wonderful creative act between you and Life. It is a new part of you that if you let it gradually grow into your waking life as a new force, a new way of feeling about life and acting. Being pregnant like that is very important. Obviously you are not going to give birth to a physical baby, but dream babies are important too.
Only a ‘virgin birth’ can bring forth the birth of an intuition, a new response to oneself and ones environment, that transforms ones life. This is a living relationship with the mystery which underlies our life. If we generate a child in this way, we are not held prisoner by habits of thought, stereotypes of behaviour, then we can begin to allow into our waking life what was previously impossible to know. This open state of mind and feelings, acts as a link between the identity or personality, and the deep unconscious life processes. This link allows a birth of realisations and inner change that brings healing and a possibility of experiencing the aspect of oneself that is our core self.
Crying baby or helpless baby: Your fundamental needs are not being, or were not in the past, met. These include basic things like feeling happy and relaxed in ones environment, feeling wanted and loved, having a sense of connection with other people. There may be something distressing you at a feeling/needing level that you are not acknowledging; a new project or aspect of self needing more care.
But it is part of inbuilt wisdom in babies to cry and act helpless of injured to get their needs or a parents love. So if you dream of such a baby it may well be showing you that you are using the same tactics to get people’s sympathy.
Example: Baby pelicans can produce a false epileptic fit; they do this because it is a way to get their parents to carry on feeding them. The alternative is that they must get off their butt and feed themselves.
Dream Baby – i.e. one you gave birth to in your dream. Dream babies are usually special and are a way that you give birth to either parts of your personality that have developed over time and are now ‘born’. They slowly become obvious to us as new talents, a new direction, or even a new way of life.
Such babies are easy to give birth to, and usually are beautiful and speak soon.
Do I need a pregnancy test if I dream of having a baby?: If you are having unprotected regular sex or if you are trying for a baby, then yes have a test. But if you know you had not had sex with a partner, then it is a dream baby. See all the comments and answers at the bottom of the page.
Dropping a baby: Carelessness in dealing with your basic needs, especially in relationship; mishandling an opportunity; betraying trust; feeling you have been ‘dropped’ by someone, perhaps in a relationship. It might also at times suggest a miscarriage or the lack of support in caring for a pregnancy.
Example: I turned and ran with the pram at a small boy on a tricycle who was pedalling toward me playfully. We laughingly collided. Not a bad bump, but enough to send the baby over onto the ground on its head. The baby cried but didn’t seem badly hurt. I realised it was the second time I had dropped the baby, and felt I must be more careful and responsible. We were then preparing for a storm on the ship.
It was during the past few days that my wife told me that her period was late. She thought she was pregnant. This caused an awful situation between us. I was out of work in an area that offered me no work. I suggested she had an abortion. As it turned out it was a false pregnancy. However, the damage had been done. (Apparently I had dropped the baby?)
Girl baby: Birth or emergence of new aspects of feelings and feeling relationship with others. But in a females dream may mean an emergence of a new phase or a new start in her life.
Giving birth: A healthy woman is designed by nature to create a baby. But it is also true that at the heart of a woman’s being is the power of creation, and that creation can go in any direction – a mother, an artist, a dancer, a poet, a social worker, or even an alcoholic or drug dependent.
But in our dream world the image of your creation is usually in the form of a baby. But as you may not be pregnant you have produced an image of your creation and creativeness. It is new so you do not know what it is. That you have dreamt this at all shows you need to take note of this extraordinary creativeness and investigate it. You can do this by imagining your self as the baby – remember that dreams are showing reflections of your own inner world so the baby is an expression of your creativity – and talk as the baby describing what it feels. Use Talking As.
If it is difficult or a C-section then you are anxious or have fears about having a baby, or else there is a history of difficulty that you need to work out. Try using Carry the Dream Forward.
That you have dreamt this at all shows you need to take note of this extraordinary creativeness and investigate it. You can do this by imagining your self as the baby – remember that dreams are showing reflections of your own inner world so the baby is an expression of your creativity – and talk as the baby describing what it feels. Talking As
And do not dismiss this as a silly dream, such dream babies have a very real purpose and life of their own. They are your creation out of the wonderful creative process that is a woman, and your own ideals and longings. If you nurture them you will see them grow – I call the spirit children.
Happy baby: Feeling at ease with oneself and surroundings. It may be that something has happened in a relationship or environment that brings a deeper level of relaxation and sense of security.
Hitting the baby: Usually a sign of not being able to cope with ones own childhood pain, and so it ends in hitting. See: hitting.
In a man’s dream: The same as general definitions, but also may be oneself at that age; desire for parenthood; weight of responsibility; fear of inability to produce. See Man Giving Birth to Baby.
In child’s dream: Themselves at that age; feelings about a baby sibling.
In woman’s dream: The same as general definitions, but also may be oneself at that age; desire for a baby; responsibility of caring for baby; worries about having healthy baby; worries about baby’s welfare.
Losing/not finding a baby: Losing contact with or not caring for your fundamental feeling responses to life; losing an opportunity or mishandling a delicate relationship; feeling lost and abandoned in ones own child feelings.
Man giving birth to a baby: Often happens during the pregnancy of the mans partner; shows the man bringing something to birth in himself. This is usually a new understanding, or a new sympathy or viewpoint. It can show the emergence of awareness of the unconscious. See Special Baby
Neglecting or forgetting baby: Many baby dreams, as in the example at the bottom, have this theme of neglecting, or even starving the baby. This is usually because we need to take care of, or be more aware of, how much personal need we have for things like care, appreciation and love being given to us. If as a baby our need for being held and given attention were met, then we can move into the next phase of our growth. But if these needs were never met, one is often stuck emotionally at this level of development. See Beware of Love.
If you are a parent with a baby, the dream may represent natural anxieties about ones ability as a parent – i.e. the dream may reflect a fear you are not giving as much to your child as you wish, or that you find yourself wishing for a break from parenthood.
Example: ‘I have my own baby who is lying in a cot in a bedroom looking very weak and pathetic with eyes closed. I know that he or she is getting weaker and weaker through lack of food and care. In fact the baby seems to be dying. The feelings of guilt are terrible because I know it is my responsibility to do something to make it well. I keep saying to myself I must go and feed that baby – but I don’t. I just keep worrying and feeling guilty.’ J. C.
Because of circumstances we may not have been able to satisfy all our babyhood needs – we may have been weaned earlier than we wanted; our need for attention may have been unsatisfied or we felt rejected or unwanted – and these are shown as a baby in our dreams. Dreams such as the above show how we sense the need of this part of us to be cared for and nourished. If some of these earliest needs are not met in some way, the development of our enthusiasm, our pleasure and ability to be involved and self-giving, may be diminished, giving rise to dreams suggesting the need for nourishment, as above. See: baby – healing and helping; baby in my dreams.
Nursing a baby: Caring for ones own infant needs which still exist in ones adult life; giving care and love to someone who is relating to you in a baby way; wanting a baby, or needing to express the depth of your own ability to give and love.
Pregnancy – dreaming of baby during: Most women dream about their growing baby during pregnancy. These dreams are vary varied and often anxious or frightening. Such dreams are not to be taken as signs of a problem other than natural anxiety. Occasionally a pregnant woman dreams of the identity or personality of her unborn child, perhaps even before it is conceived. This can of course occur to the father too. See: pregnancy; birth dreams during pregnancy; fifth example under penis, in the body section.
Sick baby: Our babyhood experience builds the foundation of all relationship with other people and the world. If for instance we are punished for being curious, or are traumatised in our need for love and support, it will show in our adult relationships. Perhaps we will lack explorative curiosity, or avoid or have difficulties in a close relationship. The sick baby usually depicts such difficulties. Exploring our feelings in connection with the sick baby, or being the sick baby as in Gestalt dream-work, will help uncover the details and intense feelings involved in such unsatisfying emotions and habitual responses.
Starving baby: See: Neglecting or forgetting baby: above.
Twins or twin: The many polar opposites or splits in us – the split between waking consciousness and sleep or the unconscious; the split between what we want in our deepest desires, and what we can allow ourselves socially; the split caused by infant trauma; the split between our sense of eternity and the facts of physical mortality; introversion and extroversion; something of self which has got split off; the lack of balance in our being; twins can represent duality, conflict, or two sides of an issue, but also the emergence of something new, something that was denied, or born with one, but never acknowledged as part of oneself; ones unconscious relationship with another person, such as occurs in a telepathic link; separation.
Or perhaps even ‘died at birth’, or one died, leaving us feeling only half a person; the lack of balance in our being. When one of the babies died and the other survived it might be as happens often that the situation wasn’t right for one perhaps because of health issues. See Tony’s Inner Voice
When appearing with a couple: The marriage – what is created in the relationship; the life process in us based on reproduction. What you have produced and care for or neglect together
Quoted from Dreams and Dreaming, by Norman Mackenzie.
Then I went back in my mind to being two years old when I felt that a terrible thing had happened to me, the realisation that my mother had no love for me. I saw her holding a male baby and I felt in that instant that I hated males. I had just this fundamental feeling, a terrible feeling, and it grew and I became full of hate and I realised that it was directed toward the opposite sex. I felt that this had begun at an early age when I felt that my mother had given affection to the male members of the family and not myself. I was the only female. I realised that at that age she didn’t love me and I must have felt jealous of the male This grew up within me.
This graphically describes the depth of feeling we often carry from our earliest years, feelings which deeply influence our adult behaviour. In this case it made the woman’s relationships with her husband strained and tense.
Example: I have my own baby who is lying in a cot in a bedroom looking very weak and pathetic with eyes closed. I know that he or she is getting weaker and weaker through lack of food and care. In fact the baby seems to be dying. The feelings of guilt are terrible because I know it is my responsibility to do something to make it well. I keep saying to myself I must go and feed that baby – but I don’t. I just keep worrying and feeling guilty. J. C.
Because of circumstances we may not have been able to satisfy all our babyhood needs – we may have been weaned earlier than we wanted; our need for attention may have been unsatisfied or we felt rejected or unwanted – and these are shown as a baby in our dreams, as with J. C. Dreams such as the above show how we sense the need of this part of us to be cared for and nourished. If some of these earliest needs are not met in some way, the development of our enthusiasm, our pleasure and ability to be involved and self-giving, may be diminished, giving rise to dreams suggesting the need for nourishment, as above. See: baby healing and helping; baby in my dreams.
Example: I am 48, have two children in their late teens and definitely DO NOT want another baby. Nevertheless I have a recurring dream in which I am always in labour, experiencing no pain, and although there are nursing staff I am in some sort of laboratory, although everything is very pleasant. I never actually give birth and when I wake I always have a vague feeling of disappointment. V. I.
This dreamers conscious decision to have no more children may be in conflict with her biological urge for another baby. But the dream might also suggest there is something she deeply want to give birth to in her life but has not yet achieved. Her creativity did not end with her children, there is still more for her to bring out of herself in some way.
Example: My mouth was full of what looked like liver. It was also coming out of my left ear. When I turned away from the mirror I saw medical people in caps and gowns who kept telling me to bear down. I then gave birth to a baby out of my mouth. I am an invalid and very sick at present. Mr. M. S.
This mans dream is about preparation for death. The baby is the extraction of all that can live on after his present life is left behind in death. See: death – is there life afterwards.

Last night I dreamt that I had twin babies, a boy and a girl. They were very beautiful and clever and I loved them more than id ever loved anyone. My family (maybe my dad) bought them a toy see saw type thing, and then the scene changed. There was a bag of my belongings, favourite books, my red wallet and some other items. My sister had given it away to homeless drug addicts. I became angry and demanded that they give it back. The next moment I was inside a house and the homeless people had turned into scary monsters. I dont know where my babies went but the zombie people wanted to eat me. I slammed the door and one of their arms got stuck. Then they tried to climb in through a window to get at me and I woke up. What do you think it means?

I keep having dreams about a baby….the same baby everytime but in different situations. And I can see her face so clearly in my mind that I could draw her if I could draw. It has been over the past 2 weeks about 6 times. Always the same baby and she is always happy to see me like I am hers even though sometimes she is clearly my baby in the dream and sometimes she is given to me or left for me to find.
Hi, i had a dream that i had a baby boy, dont remember being pregnant? or giving birth and i had not told anyone about having the baby even my parents until i had him in my arms and was a few months old,he was very big also. I left the baby for a few days at my house on his own, as i was living with my parents,and then decided to go pick him up at 1.30am on a monday morning? so strange, he was born also on the 15th?.
I was also arguing with my partner for not helping with the baby and we broke up due to it, (never would happen as i have such a wonderful partner) it was snowing when we were arguing.what could this mean? such a strange dream
i have also a dreams a few times about twins boy and a girl toddlers, and baby.
Laura – It is difficult to unravel the meaning of your dream as there are so many personal associations. In the world of dreams our most intimate fears and longings are given an exterior life of their own in the form of the people, objects and places of our dream. Therefore our sexual drive may be shown as a person and how we relate to them; or given shape and colour as an object; or given mood as a scene. Our feeling of ambition might thus be portrayed as a business person in our dream – our changing emotions as the sea or a river; while the present relationship we have with our ambition or emotions is expressed in the events or plot of the dream.
So without knowing how you would feel deep down about mother and partner it is difficult. But see http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/practical-techniques-for-exploring-your-dreams/#TalkingAs

I had a dream that out of no were my mom handed me a baby and was like here your son and i was happy and took him and she said he needed to be fed so i was getting his bottle ready and i couldnt see his face he was wrapped in blankets ? I was confused i didnt no who i had a baby with ? Might this have to do with my dad’s girlfreind being with a baby boy ?
Vivian – No, it is your baby. Lots of women and girls give birth to babies without any man involved. It is only in the waking world that the rules apply needing a man. I dreams it is like a virgin birth.
The baby is something new that has emerged in your life. So watch out for it, for it will grown quickly.

I had a dream last night that I was very pregnant and I was at my parents house. My water broke at their house and I was not in labor for long and had the baby at my parents house. I ended up having a baby girl. Throughout the dream I nursed my baby, went with my fiance to pick out clothes while he and I fought. I remember that picking a name was the hardest part and for what seemed like days we couldn’t decide on a name. By the end of my dream I was with good friends from high school and there was a crisis and police were everywhere, I was worried because my fiance is a police officer and I was afraid something had happened to him. And my baby had grown into a toddler by the end of the dream.
Christina – Is there some sort of disagreement between you and your fiancée about having children? I ask because of the argument and then the crisis in the same dream. Maybe it isn’t a big issue, but if it is there you need to be aware of it.
But you had a beautiful baby, a new thing in your life. It has just emerged in your life and is growing fast, and will soon appear as a new attitude or interest. You find support and pleasure in company of old friends, but there is still an issue in the crisis.

I had the strangest dream last night. I was in my home and all of a sudden someone walked in and handed me a newborn baby girl. She was this tiny little thing that instantly fell asleep when she was put into my arms. I can still feel the warmth of her skin against my neck. It just felt right, her being with me and me being able to take care of her.
Hannah – Well it is a gift. A new life put into your arms to care for. She obviously felt okay with you.
A baby such as this represent something new in you, a part of you that is vulnerable and needs caring for – such as a new departure in your life; a new venture or talent that feels good.

So this dream was a little weird for me. I was at my old house that was in California but it was in the city I live in now. I don’t remember being pregnant, having the baby, or who the father was (which in my other dreams I always know who it is) but I did know that no one knew that I had the baby because I didn’t tell anyone not even my own father. I remember standing a room a few days after the baby was born and thinking “I should call my dad and tell him that I had the baby.” But I couldn’t remember when the baby was born so I got the birth certificate and I started looking for the birthdate and how much he weighed at birth, but it wasn’t a birth certificate it was some type of paper that I couldn’t understand so I gave up on looking. Then I started thinking “what am I going to do about school?” I asked my mom and she said “take him to aunt hope” and I thought I don’t have any relatives with the name hope, but I took him to her anyway cause I felt if my mom trusted her then I should too. So I was driving and there was a really creepy part of the road and I was thinking “I’m not going through that so i’ll just turn around”, but then I started talking to my baby telling him “mommy will go through here so I can go to school and finish because that’s what I need to do” so I went through and I saw a really nice looking trailer looking place and before I went in I saw an elderly couple and they said hi to me and said “oh I see you had your baby!” and it confused me because I didn’t know them but they knew I had my baby. But I was friendly and I said “yes I did!” I showed them my baby then took him to aunt hope and the dream ended.
Gabie – What beautiful dream. You are so beautifully innocent.
The old house was somewhere you felt comfortable in I guess. A good place to have your baby. There was not a father because you do not need a man to have a dream baby. So it was a special baby, your very own creation, a sort of virgin birth.
The thing about the birth certificate is important. It is saying that there is something you do not understand about your baby and its background. Because you do not understand it you could not understand what was said on the paper. I believe it was telling you that Life gave you this baby, and it will grow in you to change your life. It is small and vulnerable so take car of it.
Then another wonderful thing came to you. Your mom told you to take the baby to aunt Hope. That is exactly what you should do. Live with Hope in your heart and the new life you have given birth to will grow in you and be schooled.
The couple are a heavenly couple who know you so well and take care of you.
Live in Hope.

I had a dream last night, it started out that I was changing a very very dirty diaper for a baby boy, I can still recall the feel of of when I thing about it, and I can remember how many wipes I used to clean this baby, next thing I now I am at a department store, and I have all this new born baby stuff, and I am at a personal stroller machine, after I leave the machine gives me a personalized bottle that I feed to my baby, I then try to balance my baby and pushing a cart filled with my personalized stroller and other items, I am apparently at this machine for quite a while because when one of the employees lost my items, I was angry and specifically told them I needed that stroller and baby items ( i said I was there for 4 hours). For some reason my and my best friend Katie and her husband were there as well and we were waiting outside in the rain (under a tent) in a check out line. Next thing I know I am at home I wake up from sleep and get my new born, and I have two other children at my home with me, one older girl, who I bend down to let her kiss my baby and a younger boy, I go and change the diaper and prepare to feed my baby…then I wake up…very very very confused ??…….
Leonor – I am not sure whether the two children you said were at home were actually your children when awake, or whether they are all dream children.
I feel they are all your dream children, if so you are wanting to create a family – at least a dream family. You have all the traits of a good mother and can stand up for your rights.
I believe the confusion is because your dream self has a very different view of life than you do. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/what-we-need-to-remember-about-dreaming/#TwoPowers

Need help interpreting the worst nightmare of my life!! I woke up screaming and crying. I have a 4 month old little boy and in my dream I am in some old victorian looking house I do not recognize. There are two very bad men stand a few feet outside a door to the room my cousin and I are in. They have guns, so do I’m half way out the window, waiting for my cousin to give me my child. Suddenly the door flies open and they begin shooting. I’m handed a loaf of bread first! My cousin is suddenly gone and I shoot back. Once the men are down I look down to see my son has been shot near his heart!! Next I get into my fiances parents truck as they are driving by, I realize we are 30 minutes from any hospitals. Then I wake up screaming and crying…. Please help this nervous mommy!
Kristin – Well dear nervous mum, this is what comes from rearing a young baby. Having a child switches on all your senses and makes you look for and even imagine danger everywhere.
You were thinking of the dangers and how near was the hospital – all stuff that goes on in the mind of mums. It was good you shot back at the men in the dream, but next time get a bigger gun and mow them down. It is all ways to make you more confident about facing your fears.

I dreamed that I had a baby, but it had no head. This was a slightly older baby, but it was like I’d just noticed it. I was startled by this, then disturbed, then decided it was time to stop hiding it and tell the world. I remember the baby being in a baby-swing, and then carrying it around. I kept looking at it, wondering how it was surviving with no head. Suddenly it had a baby doll’s head, someone had put it on the stump, and I didn’t like it at all.
Kam – This is referring to a time when you were a baby. Obviously dreams dramatise so it is not as bad as it is pictured, but it is about losing your head.
But it may have been that you were treated as a doll and not as a human baby, and you didn’t like it.

I had a dream last night that I’ve never had before – I dreamt that I gave birth to a gorgeous baby boy with dark auburn hair and brilliant blue eyes. He had great energy. Delivery was pain-free and I left just after with my baby and started our lives together. I was so happy and it also felt completely natural. Not sure if it’s a premonition or symbolic.
Jeanine – I take it there was no man involved, so it is a sort of virgin birth. I do not see it as a premonition, or as symbolic, but as a way your dreams give you an experience of something wonderful. As I said in http://dreamhawk.com/dream-dictionary/baby/#Giving birth – A healthy woman is designed by nature to create a baby. But it is also true that at the heart of a woman’s being is the power of creation, and that creation can go in any direction – a mother, an artist, a dancer, a poet, a social worker, or even a creator of stories.
So see this as an opportunity to explore the wonderful creative woman you are and the potential you have given birth to. It is a virgin birth because it is something that happened between you and Life, and as such is an expression of your wonderful ability to receive and nurture a potential you have. so care for this baby and watch it grow in future dreams.

I don’t think I knew I was pregnant at the beginning of the dream, but I was in my OB-GYN’s office and she examined me, and afterward I was walking around and I could feel a baby coming out of me. I reached between my legs and could feel the top of the head crowning already. I wasn’t in any pain, just confused and anxious that it was happening so fast. Even though the birth was a surprise, it seemed like I knew exactly what to do. I was in my parents’ house and laid down in a bathtub of water. I was naked though I don’t remember taking my clothes off. My mom came and sat next to the bathtub and my doctor stood in the opposite end of the tub watching, though neither of them said anything to me. With one push, the baby came out face down, and I reached down and lifted it onto my chest. I remember thinking if I didn’t pick it up right away, it would drown. The baby was a boy, healthy and chubby and didn’t cry. I was overwhelmed with love and happiness as I cuddled him and tried several times to get him to nurse, which he did. While he was nursing, I was thinking of what I was going to name him since I hadn’t been expecting him. Although I didn’t decide, the name that popped into my head was Charlie. This dream was so vivid that I have had a hard time forgetting about it after several days. I am not a mother yet in real life or even in a relationship at this time.
The night before this dream, I had a dream that I was holding a baby girl. She was cute though she had a very round face. She was awkward and unwieldy to hold at first. I was trying to wrap the baby in a blanket while walking through a department store. Eventually I got the baby swaddled and was able to carry it comfortably.
I always dream about having a girl or a boy baby and they are healthy and always smiling at me, calling me mommy. In my dreams its always in an unfamiliar setting. Im pregnant dont ever go through labor it just skips to the baby being about 11months my family is around and we are throwing a baby shower or at the park having a bbq, again places ive never been an my child is the most beautiful baby in the world (well to me of course) pple are always commenting on how cute the baby is and congradulating me. I dont know if i dream of babies bc everyone in my family has a child and this is everyone over the age of 21 and im the only one who doesnt, So i dream about a baby because i desire one so much. Ive tried for 5yrs which me and my boyfriend have been together for 6 and am thinking about giving up, im only 26 but i feel so left out. And having dreams about babies are driving me crazy, but it does make me happy and anxious to have one.
