All dreams can be interpreted differently. If you had baby dreams or a baby-related dream, there could be a variety of meanings. It is up to you to interpret the dream according to what is going on in your life at that time. Let us explore a few of them.
Inner Child
A baby could represent your inner child, the child that was, and the child that perhaps has some unfinished business or tasks to perform. Maybe you didn’t have a very easy childhood and feel slightly robbed of those precious, innocent years. The baby can be manifested as your desire to go back to that time or at least take a breather from adult life and have some uninhibited fun, like using a small baby walker.
Having a dream of a baby could also mean you are in need of some TLC. You may be stressed, overworked, underpaid and generally not appreciated. Or at least, that is how you are feeling. Time to take a moment or two for yourself and have some ‘me’ time.
New Beginnings
Having a baby in your dreams can also be seen as the fresh start of a new period in your life, and so this can represent a new path or journey you are about to undertake. It could be a new job, a new vacation, or a new relationship. The baby dream could be telling you to review this change with careful insight; to be sure it is the right choice for you.
Loss
If you lose the baby in the dream or forget about the baby, it may lend itself to an aspect of your life that you are changing and essentially leaving behind.
You may have actually lost someone close to you or lost an opportunity that you truly regret. You probably will wake up feeling a deep sense of grief and perhaps even guilt. Ride those feelings and see where they take you.
Boy or Girl
If the dream allows you to see the gender of the baby, you could decipher the meaning in this way. Either you are already pregnant and could be secretly or opening wishing for a specific gender, or if you know the gender already and dream of the opposite, it could be a sense of guilt that you, deep down, actually would have preferred the other sex.
A baby boy represents masculinity and can mean you want to be more forceful and assertive in your life. It could also mean the opposite. That you are being too testosterone-like and need to tone it down.
Dreaming of a baby girl, as with the opposite gender, lends itself towards your feminine side and whether you are expressing that part of yourself or not.
Prem Petite
If you are giving birth to a prem baby in your dream, it will represent you are possibly starting a new venture prematurely. Perhaps you need to take a step back and reevaluate things.
She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not
If the baby in the dream does not like you, this can mean that a relationship you are in should not be pursued further than friendship. As you can see, there are many variations of ‘I had a dream I had a baby,’ so if you really feel you want to know, especially if the baby dream is repetitive, then look at aspects in your waking life that fit one of the scenarios above.
Life throws us messages all the time, and it’s up to our perceptive side to take the meaning from those messages without letting them consume us.
