Pregnancy Dream Symbols

It is very common for pregnant women or those women who are trying to have a baby to dream about pregnancy or some other incident or attribute that is related to pregnancy. So if you are pregnant it may actually be the manifestation of your condition in your waking life.

This happens because of the fact that when you are pregnant or when you are trying for a baby there are various anxieties that often work within you during this delicate phase of your life. In fact many women report of having vivid dreams relating to their pregnancy during all the three trimesters of the pregnancy.

However, there are incidences when non pregnant people have reported of dreams relating to pregnancy or other similar situations. Psychologists and researchers have opined that when such people dream of pregnancy, they are more often than not experiencing a phase of growth or development in their life, for these are the most common attributes we associate with pregnancy.

There are some researchers who have also attributed the dreams related to pregnancy with your desire to create something. If you are someone who is not pregnant or is not at the moment trying to conceive and are still having dreams related to pregnancy, and are feeling perturbed about it, let us calm you down by saying one thing – psychologists and researchers have opined that such dreams about pregnancy or dreams about something related to pregnancy are more often than not signs of positive things or changes that are happening or are about to happen in your life.

Depending upon the context in which you see the dream and the exact content of the dream one can interpret the various dream symbols.

• PREGNANCY

Dream about pregnancy are often reported to be very vivid in nature. If you are actually pregnant, this may give you some moments of smile and tenderness. However, if you are not pregnant, then in your moment of grogginess and sleepiness you may feel panicked or anxious in seeing yourself pregnant, especially if that is not the state you want to be in at that point of time in your life. You may wonder how it could have happened to you without your knowledge. But this is not a dream that should cause you any trouble or anxiety for such a dream is not usually connected to any negative event or emotion. More likely than not it is a symbolic representation of the fact that you are about to embrace some positive changes in your life.

• REALIZING THAT YOU’RE PREGNANT

If you dream that you have suddenly realized that you are pregnant it means that there is some scope of growth in your life that you have just realized, but perhaps you are not ready to disclose it to all and sundry yet. It may also be that you are little anxious about embracing some new responsibilities that you know are soon to come to you.

• REALIZING THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS PREGNANT

When you dream that someone else is pregnant it is likely that you feel a bond developing between the two of you. The only exception would be if you see that your partner has conceived someone else’s child, then that is a sign of mistrust, disloyalty and rift between the two of you.

• TAKING A PREGNANCY TEST

Apart from being the manifestation of your fear of actually conceiving or having a baby, this could mean that there are going to be some changes taking place in your life. Perhaps you are unsure of whether you are prepared to face the situation.  It may so be that life is subjecting you to a sudden test.

• GETTING AN ULTRASOUND

This is representative of a transitional phase of your life where you can actually measure your progress in the process.

• HAVING A BABY

These dreams represent your innermost feelings about various emotions and your feelings about those people who are near and dear to you.

• GOING TO THE HOSPITAL TO GIVE BIRTH

This could signify that you are trying to get rid of someone or some responsibility. It may also mean that you are trying to shake off a certain trait from your system. It could also symbolically represent your need or want to depend on someone completely and to be taken care of fully.

• GIVING BIRTH

Apart from being manifestations of your desire to have a baby or your fear about the process of giving birth to a child, this could be a symbolic representation of a creative venture that you know would bring you success and/ or happiness but only after you give it a lot of labor and diligence.

• GOING INTO PREMATURE LABOR

You are about to begin a new endeavor for which you feel you are not yet completely prepared.

• HAVING A C-SECTION

This signifies that you have a creative idea, but you cannot materialize it fully on your own. You would need the assistance of someone else to help you give it the final form.

• GIVING BIRTH TO A NON-HUMAN CREATURE

If you are pregnant, then this simply means that you are anxious about the health and condition of your baby. If not, it may mean that you are facing some obstacles in the way of your personal developments. Or perhaps your innermost emotions are yet to find proper expressions.

On the other hand it may also signify that you are tired of carrying all responsibilities on your own and are hoping to have someone around to depend upon. It may also suggest that you lack individuality.

• HAVING A STILLBORN BABY OR IF THE PREGNANCY GETS TERMINATED (WHETHER BY CHOICE OR BY ACCIDENT)

This is one of the most stressful dreams especially for those women who are actually pregnant. These dreams are not of prophetic nature, and as such should not bother you much. This perhaps is an indication that you are getting rid of something, a habit perhaps. It may also suggest that some endeavor of yours may have come to an end suddenly whether you volunteered it or not.

• HAVING AN ABORTION

You are perhaps unknowingly causing a block in the path of your growth.
