If you cannot find what you want in the first section, there are a lot of questions answered at the bottom of the page under Comments.

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.

i was holding a baby boy, yet his not my own baby..(looks like someone gave it to my mom but it didn’t show in my dream ).. I was so happy carrying the baby , he’s so cute and almost the whole time i was just looking to him.. (I love children especially babies in real life) …while carrying the baby to take him home with my mom , someone call my mom…my mom approach her , and the lady was giving a baby , the baby was inside a plastic bag, eventhough I can’t see it clearly, I know it was small, looks more a fetus and i was wondering if it was alive or not because it looks dead to me…but at the same
time i was thinking , why is she going to give the baby to us, if it was dead, so it must be alive…. when my mom look on the plastic bag, she was a bit suprise and give the plastic bag back saying she won’t get it, and tell them some reason….. then we continue to walk…, i’m still carrying the baby, looking at him, & believing he was Jesus, our saviour… then there’s a pause.. i don’t know where but we were in a small room and someone takes us as a hostages… i look on the baby , and i believe we were going to be save since he was our saviour… then the man who hostage us is lying down , he ask the baby in one of the hostages, it was a girl and looks like the man likes the baby, then he ask me to come too, I give the baby to him, their’s a feeling of me that he will change his hearts once he hold the baby and he will set us free.. then he gave it back to me, choosing the baby girl more because he looks back on the baby girl and then smile … I walk back , looking at the baby and in my mind , I know that the baby did something back their , that their was a reason why he gave the baby back to me and why the man choose the baby girl… — i’ve been thinking the meaning of this..

When I was pregnant, I had a dream that I saw myself carrying a toddler but at the background, I saw a face of a very sick baby, then 2 days after that I dream of my brother giving me baby’s corpse . That very day, my baby died in my womb, stillbirth at 36 weeks. Could my dream be a warning? Now I am starting to dream of a little girl.

Hi, I had a dream last night about somehow knowing that I got married and then giving birth to two babies at different times. The first baby was a boy and it came out good. The second was a girl but at first the baby was getting purple and couldn’t breath on her own until somehow I managed to get her breathing by herself.

-Kayla 2012-10-09 23:27:49

Hello.
So a little background first: I’m 20 years old, engaged, living with my fiancé and hadn’t really considered having children anytime soon until this dream.
It’s been a few weeks but it was a very vivid dream and I’ve been obsessing over it a little bit.
So the first part I remember is having the baby, not the actual birth but having the baby and knowing that it was mine. I don’t think I ever knew the gender, hope it’s not very relevant. My fiancé was in the dream as well and when I brought the baby home he was very happy. I remember being the happiest I’ve been my entire life, bonding with the baby and feeling like my life was complete. For some reason I hadn’t told my mother that I had the baby yet, my mother and I are very close and there’s no way this would happen in a real life situation. I never introduced the baby to my mother.
My baby would cry very quietly, it wasn’t loud and didn’t seem very crabby or loud. I remember breastfeeding the baby (this was one of those vivid parts, as I could FEEL myself feeding the baby), after a while I ran out of milk and was unable to feed the baby anymore.
I woke up in the middle of the night and am still feeling empty over “losing” my baby.
There is a slight chance that I could be pregnant as I have no way to track my cycle due to my b/c, but it is a very small chance.
Since I’ve had this dream I have had “baby fever” like crazy, but it is not fiscally reasonable for me to have a child right now.
I guess my question is; Could the dream have been my desire to have children manifesting, or could it mean something deeper?

    -Tony Crisp 2012-10-10 13:00:11

    Kayla – It seems as if your dream has opened the door to that flood of creation that is at the heart of women – you call it ‘baby fever’. Please read http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/questions/#WomanCreative as it saves me a lot of time saying it all to you again.

    You haven’t lost your baby. Dreams are what they are because of the fears and feelings you carry with you – what you carry into the dream. So if you take time to visualise yourself with the baby while awake and successfully feeding it you will change the programming that caused the dream.

    As for whether you are now pregnant, maybe not, but we will have to wait and see.
    Let me know.

Last night I had a dream that I was giving birth in the delivery room with my recent ex boyfriend, who I am assuming is the father. The delivery was painful and very detailed. There were doctors and nurses in the room which was very white, clean and sunny. I was screaming because it really hurt and was on no pain medication, and through out the delivery, my ex boyfriend was there to hold my hand. I remember the baby being born, and being very happy but after that I woke up.

The dream has been haunting me all day. In the past, during my relationship with this ex, I has also dreamed I was giving birth to an octopus. That particular dream really haunted me. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    -Tony Crisp 2012-10-09 13:47:56

    Alexaundra – First of all please read What we Bring to our Dreams – http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/what-we-need-to-remember-about-dreaming/#Bring
    Dreaming about having a baby is a natural outflow from you being a woman. It is innate in women to dream of being creative and giving birth in their dreams. So I believe that such a baby is not a fantasy, but a creation of a part of you that is only now becoming real in your life. The point for a woman is that she is only incidentally part of the creative act of childbirth. The processes of creation are far deeper than her personality. As a woman, this is your potential. You developed in this way because you are a creature of evolution. If you deny that part of you – the urge to procreate – you deny yourself.

    Giving birth to an octopus suggests that your feelings about giving birth may be deeply influenced by your mother.

I am a 32 year old male. I had a dream about my wife carrying my 9 month old daughter and all of a sudden her head fell apart, well, a part of her skull fell off the back. Like a lego, i held it in my hands, but my daughter was still awake and like normal, but I had half her skull in my hand. i tried to wrap it in a baby blanket and I told my wife to get in the car. my daughter just turned around and looked at me like nothing.

The dream in itself gave me urgency because I feared for my duaghters life, but as I looked at her she was fine. Just a wierd dream?

    -Tony Crisp 2012-10-07 14:44:37

    Carlo – Do not think this is your daughter you are dreaming of. Our mind works through association of ideas and emotions. So the dream baby is a vulnerable part of you used in your dream to show you something.

    So what vulnerable part of you has knocked your head sideways, and yet everything seeks normal. Perhaps you fear that you cannot care for your baby, and if so it is your fear your dream about.

I had a dream about giving birth a baby girl. In the dream I couldn’t remember the process o giving birth. In the dream I wanted to see her. I asked te nurse if it was a igirl or a boy. They said a girl. The nurse brought me the baby and in the dream I said she’s beautiful over and over again…I didn’t want her out of my arms…I wanted her to stay there forever…I saw my “husband” Zach (only boyfriend) carry her and she said dada. I loved her so much…

I had a dream I was sitting in a rental house with my boyfriend, and some others and I had given birth to two other babies (I did not see them/hold them in my dream) then, I gave birth to a third and this one was a boy, I held him and remember saying “you want to pick your own name, don’t you” because I couldn’t pick a name for him. I wanted to name him owen but knew my boyfriend wouldn’t like thata name. What could this dream possibly mean? I am not pregnant in real life

Hi. I hope this message finds you well. I would like some advice on this dream I had the other night:

I was in a room with a man I’ve liked very much for sometime, on and off, let’s call him Dave. We were never in a relationship although we have went on a few dates. Right now we’re just friends, we see each other often and we talk on the phone a lot, he’s my Spanish tutor, so we’re often practicing the language. We have language sessions in the park, which was his idea, not very academic but whatever. Nonetheless, in the dream we were lying in bed and I was topless and he kept saying to me you’re going to have my baby, you’re going to give me a baby girl. In the dream I had no confidence in his words, I felt doubtful and I just brushed it off with a laugh. He looked at me, knowing I didn’t believe him and said “I’m telling you we’re going to have a baby girl” I don’t think we were together in the dream but I’m not sure, I cannot remember. Well, he and I were talking and then his mom and (maybe) his father walked by the room, the door was open, and she said “those two are going to be together” I just chuckled and I still was doubtful. I know it was his mother because his mother and I are good friends. I actually met him through her.

Then somehow the dream shifted and he and I were walking there was a large commotion and a black dog started chasing us and it bit me on the leg. I think the dog was a Rottweiler, Dave tried to help me and I woke up disheveled.

I’m actually disturbed by this dream because I am trying to erase any romantic feelings I have for him and just concentrate on studying. I am also currently dating someone else and I just want to make sure there is no literal truth in this dream. I think he’s a wonderful guy, I just don’t want any misleading feelings clouding my judgement. Can you help me with the meaning of this dream?

I sincerely appreciate any assistance you can give. Thanks so much.

I am a 37 year old male and I had a dream that I had a baby daughter last night, I wasn’t sure who the Mother was but the baby was my daughter I knew that, I wasn’t sure if she was alive or close to death as she wasn’t moving and no one would help me, I cradled her so close to me and eventually she was OK and she grew up to maybe the age of 6 and I was still holding her, the alarm woke me up and I didn’t get to say goodbye … and now I have tears streaming down my face as I write this. I have no children just three beautiful nieces.

i had a dream last night that i was at a place and i think that it was a beauty shop store because i was buying hair clippers but and was confused on what to buy. everything was in chinese and as i was asking questions about the product that i wanted to buy i noticed that had to be really bad. i asked to use the rest room and once i got done i wped and felt something down between my legs. i staarted yelling for people that knew me but it was steange because i was in unfamiliar territory. when i asked was that my babies head btween my legs andshe said yes i started yelling and gave birth. i ended up at home outside and my mother was there i remember arguing with my oldest son in this dream and then asking my mom where the baby was as i went in the room and got the baby he was already dressed and he was so beautiful and i remeber commenting on how it looked like his father but i have no idea who that was because he did not appear in my dream. as i walked out of the room with the baby i happened to look up to my left in the hallway and it was the same baby boy in the same clothes but he was standing up like on a shelf. i walked pass the baby and asked my mom about it and she gave me a reasn that i cant remember. but it was strange because in this dream i only remeber having one baby and really didnt go through pushing and having the baby in my dream….this is so confusing…..

Hi,
I used to have a best friend who was like a sister to me, we were friends cince the 11/12 to 14. Now one years has passed and I still see her in school but we never talk. She’s probably more popular than me and has a lot of clothes but if she’s really happy i can’t tell. Anyways. I had a dream where she had gotten a baby and in school she was in school with the baby. My friends and everyone went and gave her more attention witht the child, but I couldn’t go, so i stood there didn’t say anything. She wasn’t paying a lot of attention the baby either. I wonder what this means. Would appreciate an answer.
