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.

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.

Comments
After a long night of trick or treating and seeing children running around happy and smiling, I began to feel tired and sick with my sadness for I can not have children. While I was sleeping I dreamt that I had a child, a babygirl, who was not for my husband. I wanted him to love her and play with her, but he constantly denies her. I asked, “Baby, why wont you play with her?” He answers, “I’m not going to touch that f*cking baby”. We were at my mothers old job, where his mother currently works, and there was a party. Everyone stared at me the whole time. Then, i wake up.
Could you please help us :/ ? My Mam and I are going through a trying time (she has Cancer and it’s inoperable and I am her only family)
We are having the same dream.
We are looking after someones baby but the baby always turns into a tiny blob,small enough to get lost in the carpet! We then have the worry of telling the parents what has happened as usually we end up searching for the baby.
Any info would be great
Thanks
I have been having problems with two loves in my life. They both know about each other. One is jealous of the other. He and I have been fighting. He is angry because we haven’t been seeing a lot of each other. He has co dependent tendencies and we aren’t getting along. He got really mad at me the other day and I took it very personally.
The other is being super supportive and loving. He is the new one. I feel unsure about our relationship, although I like him. There are things that I really love about him and wish that my first love did.
Both of them care about me, both of them are sensitive. I have never had two loves at the same time before. No one knows about the new one. I feel uncomfortable about having two loves – even though I am developing feelings for him. I have been feeling confused, vulnerable and angry over the past few days.
I have been spending the last two days alone. Last night, I dreamt that I sat at a dinner table holding a male toddler. I kept holding him and stroking his back. It was as if I hadn’t seen him in a long time and I had to take care of him. I let him go into someone else’s arms and as soon as I turned my back, he bit someone. I also dreamt that I was in the home of a man I felt uncomfortable with. I was crawling on the ground and he was grabbing at my foot.
What does my dream mean?
Audrey – This is an interesting situation. Having two lovers can work very well or it can be a nightmare, depending on the people involved. Also it is in male nature to feel supportive to a woman who has another man. It is only when there is no competition that the real nature shows.
I think it would be wise to see who it is you feel you are crawling away from and is trying to grab you back. I know how difficult it is to actually make a break with someone without hurting them or having the courage yourself. But it might be good to talk it over with whoever is – you feel – pulling you or holding you back.
Women often see the men they are with as little boys – as often they are emotionally – so I wonder if this is something you sense about one of your men; that he will bite as soon as your back is turned. It sounds like decision time whatever way you see it.

Greetings! This is very informative. I wonder what is the meaning of my dream as it is very rare. I dream that I saw lot of little worm on dead fish kept in a bathroom. I clean it. I left home, but on the way i saw one red fish fly (its fin became a little wing) and come to me. This fish has bruises esp the tail part. When i take the flying fish with my hand, it turn into a very little cute baby boy. I carry the baby boy with me. I notice there is a black bird with red eye chasing me, wanted to kill the baby. The black bird changed to red color and try to take the baby from my hand. I took the red bird and break it’s neck and i take the baby boy away. i woke up when I still have the baby boy with me, on the way back home by bus. Is there any good interpretation on this? Thank you very much.
Durinsing – The little worms on a dead fish suggest it has something to do with sperm and pregnancy.
Then the fish grows wings and it flies, suggesting that it has the power of transformation, as sperm and ovum do. The transformation carries on and now you have a little boy baby, but the black bird is a warning of death. But you break its neck, a good thing.
And your dream probably means that you are going to give birth either in your dreams or in waking life. I would be interested to know if this is true.
Tony
for the past week i have been dreaming about a guy who could be the father of the baby, we lived together but i moved out and we are seperated now ever since i moved out i start having dreams about him, and last night i had a dream like i gave birth at 8months and was trying to call people like his family and him but no one picked up so i was stuck alone in the hospital……is there a meaning to all of it?
Natasha – There are several reasons why you are dreaming of the – probable – father of your baby. Every woman has a feeling – maybe unconsciously – that the father should be there for her to help her care for herself and the baby; she is after all vulnerable at the time and after childbirth.
But your dream also suggests that he is not there for you – full stop. So I would gather around you those who are available. The telephone call is an attempt on your part to communicate with him and hid family, and the result might simple be the way you felt about him when you left.

Hi,
I am a 43 years old
I dreamt last I was in labour the pain was not intense the was some women on my left hand side who injected me on my left bud to ease the pain,baby was in the wrong position in my womb i told them help to put it back in the right position then i gave birth to a healthy baby girl that was place in between two women in bed who happen to be my two late aunties i went carry my baby an was holding very tied when i woke. Why is the meaning please advice.
Awa – It was difficult to give birth to this child because you had doubts about yourself – doubts about who you are and are capable of. That was what was mean by the wrong position; you had a wrong attitude that made it difficult to accept that you could be something more.
And that is what this dream child is. It is not simple a clone of you, but it carries a new thing with it, a new you, a new feeling about yourself that you will recognise as time goes by.
The injection was someone who gave you encouragement about what you are giving birth to, the new you.
And the aunties are there because they are part of your experience of women that has played a part in forming this new baby, new you, that is emerging.

I had a very weird dream last night in which I saw myself and my mum pregnant(full months with a huge bump), which neither of us is, both delivering at the same time and waiting to deliver it. Then, I just realised that I have twins and I everyone was very excited about them. After few mins, my bump disappeared and everyone said that my twins have died(which doesnt make sense to me still) and my mum gave birth to a baby boy. Please hellpp me in analyzing this weird dream. Thanks.
this is how i remember my dream
the doctor said its a girl, i look at her and she have long beautiful blonde hair, blue eyes, she still sleeping. rosy lips and beautiful white skin. a friend said she doesnt look like you. i told them i dont care, shes mine.
then something happen. me and my friends left. haft way there, i remember that i forgot the baby.
we made a U turn, but then we saw a group of cops shooting at the wall with pictures. we ran off and back to the place. when we got there the baby isnt there anymore. all was left was a metal spider and there was a red gem on it. i hugged it and hope it will turn back to the baby. but it disappear in my chest where my heart is.
Josh – This is a beautiful dream about the birth of a new and wonderful part of you. It needs to be looked after – which for a while you forgot. But when you went back for the baby and searched for it something special happened. The beauty of the baby was taken into you as the gem – a red jewel.
It means that something precious and lasting has entered you heart and feelings, and if you care for it it can last all your life.

I woke up sweating this morning, I had a dream that my husband and i were in a car accident and something went wrong and my body was trying to reject the pregnancy ( i have never had a child, but 2 years ago i lost a baby due to miscariage) and the doctors gave me an emergency C-section. The baby was a girl and extremly tiny, i felt very attached to this little girl, and she ended up dying of complications in the hospital. In the dream i became very emotional and tried to resuscitate the baby alone, and none of the doctors seemed to do anything about the baby. I was so emotional in the dream that it woke me up, and i was crying. What does this mean? it truly scared me to death, if anyone can give me information on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Klarie – The thing is that we are only partly human – I mean as Klarie. The fact is that we, you, have grown form something much bigger than our little personality. We pride ourselves as having a mind and thinking, but the BIG thing that controls our being is Life. For instance can you beat your own heart; can you digest your food; can you hold all the actions and reactions of your body together?
Now the BIG you has tremendous feelings and is involved in you as only it can understand. So in your dream your car accident represents what it felt like when your baby miscarried. Something had gone wrong that was why the miscarriage happened.
But you as a woman are a wonderful thing, and the BIG you and the personal you are so intertwined, but you/we are usually unaware how much the BIG you feels when a baby is lost. It has worked miracles to form this amazing thing – a baby. And to see it lost it felt badly. So you and the Big you were very attached, and the BIG you more so as it had formed every cell of the baby.
So what you felt in the dream was a little of the crying for that loss for both of you. When a woman is open to her inner process of Life – the BIG you – then she will try to heal her heart and her body of the loss. Mostly it is just swept under the carpet. But your dream is a way of healing. Meeting the feelings of the BIG you can be scary because we are not taught that we have anything in us except blood and guts and so have no experience of knowing who we are.

i have been dreaming that i am pregnant with unborn twins. one is a boy the other is a girl the boy look identical like my husband but is very light skinned and the other one is brown skinned. they are tlking to me but i dont know what they are saying. i am not pregnant, dont have a twin sibling or anything. i have been having dream bout being pregnant or even having a baby in a weird way for 3 nights now. so whay does it mean?
I’m searching for answers. In my dream, I am breastfeeding a baby. I was terribly apprehensive because the baby was not mine, it was a stranger. I considered it for a minute before I allowed it to latch on and then I nursed it, while still being nervous and apprehensive. I remember thinking that I couldn’t just let it starve; That I MUST feed it because it was hungry. The baby wasn’t crying or upset. I just knew it was hungry. And that was it. No other part of the dream related to the baby. That is all I remember.
Ivy – Every baby that we deal with is our own baby. Although you feel it is not yours doesn’t matter – we dream of aliens and animals but they are all created out of our own inner feelings and thoughts – and of course fears and hopes. See http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/what-we-need-to-remember-about-dreaming/
As you say, you couldn’t let it starve, and you had to feed it because it/you were hungry; suggesting that you were not satisfied in breast feeding, and still have the desire. But in our dreams we disguise such feelings, as in your dream, by feeling that it is not you or your baby self.
It sounds quite like the dreams some people get who were not breast fed themselves, or who were weaned to soon. So please check on whether you have any information about that. And it doesn’t matter that you cannot remember because such memories are so deep and most people cannot remember their baby self – and many people say it is impossible to remember. But a baby’s memories are all about a primal level of feeling and responses. Here is another example from another dreamer.
“I had a dream where I saw 3 very ill and severely neglected newborn babies–they were not mine and I don’t remember how I came upon them. I (though not pregnant in the dream or in real life) began to breast feed the most neglected of these babies. The baby had not developed the suckling reflex and began to choke on my breast milk. Then, out of nowhere, I had to leave the babies–I can’t remember now why I had to, but I remember that I left with a sense of urgency and a sorrow, knowing that those babies would die without me.”

I had a dream last night and I was hanging out with one of my best friends. I turn around and she has a baby boy and I got to hold this cute little baby. I also got prepare his bottle and feed him. He was dressed in a cute little dark green outfit. He was really advanced for one so small. I am just trying to see what this all means.
Nora – You do not say what you felt as you held the baby. Feelings are the driving force that creates the dream images.
Obviously you felt a link with the baby and so it could be an expression of your own mothering instinct and feelings. But in the dream you create a story that this is not your baby but someone else’s. Now it is your dream, so obviously it is your dream baby, but yet the split suggests a slight conflict about having a baby.
I might be wrong because you did not say what you felt in detail when holding the baby. So think about it.

Yesterday I woke up with this feeling of knowing that in my dream, I was pregnant. I went about my day and ignored it. This morning I had a dream that I was caring for a “little black baby”. I am hispanic, and my two children are not dark, but I can obviously see this baby was african. His color was a beautiful chocolate and it meant so much to me to watch his long curly hair. He was healthy although I had a moment where I cleaned up his emesis and wet diaper. I felt happy and fulfulled.It suddenly changed to where I was at an amusement park and a baby jumped under a moving horse carriage, but she didn’t die, the mom grabbed her with fear as the crowd advised her to take her to the ER. I had some fear, but everyone else had no emotion and that helped to keep calm. BTW, I am a nurse and Im in school to advance my nursing career. I have no desire to have more children and my husband has a vasectomy. Everyday I count my blessing. I feel my family is complete although I did have 1 miscarriage 9 yr ago, I had my 2nd child 8 yr ago and filled that feeling of wanting 2 children. I seldom think about that lost baby, and I have grieved well after. My question; “Why the persistency?”
San-D – Do you mean the persistence in dreaming about having another baby?
As a woman you are born to create – either a baby or some other form of self giving. That is why many women choose nursing. So the baby is probably not a desire for another child, but you being creative giving birth to a new expression of you. His being African suggests that this new part of you comes from the very primal source, and so is very valuable. That primal self is where your life sprang from and still does.
It is probably the nursing training that has given rise to the dream. Learning to care for and nurture others is an enormous stimulus toward caring for and giving birth to new aspects of yourself. You feel “ happy and fulfilled” because you are more complete having given birth to a new part of you. Take time to see if you can actually feel and understand the new baby by using http://dreamhawk.com/dream-encyclopedia/acting-in-your-dream/

woke up sweating this morning. Had a dream my eldest daughter was shot across her chest several times.was bullet holes but no blood and she survived. and then my second child told me she had just had a baby boy named after her partner.
I am in the process of emigrating to oz and leaving these two behind to complete their studies in college.
Tina – Well, thank goodness for the Internet and easy communication. And make sure you tell your girls how much you love them.
It is not your daughter that got shot but you. Because dreams use images of our children and others to represent states of mind. And it is probably that your eldest represented confidence that had got shot – injured – and obviously you survived, but were worried about things. Thus the injury to you feelings – chest. But as the dream say, you injure yourself by worrying about whatever it was – your children?
So enjoy Oz, and give it my love.

So i woke up this morning with the urge of finding out what my dream means. All i remember is that for some odd reason my ex boyfriend and I are hanging out just as friends and with other friends, but that it starts getting late and i have to go home. Once i get home my mom hands me “my baby boy” (im not pregnant or ever had a kid) and my ex i standing right next to me. We all seemed happy and apperently my ex was the father of the boy.
I want to know what this means since I havent had no contact with my ex in like months.
Maira – It seems that you probably at some time in your relationship with your ex you felt that you wanted a baby. But such things are often squashed beneath all the needs and demands of your life. Even so something was left in you, a seed that grew.
Something you got from your mother, an older woman’s view of things maybe, saw a change in you and handed you the baby.
The baby is something that has been born from your relationship with your ex. It could be something you learnt about relationships, about love and what you wanted. In any case it is a healthy and outgoing part of you now, but is still new and young and so vulnerable. Only you really know what new part of you the baby is, and you can open your heart and visualise yourself as that baby, and see what it feels like and tells you.
