Dreaming of a Baby

baby, newborn, toddler · mixed

Babies carry opposite readings: a bright baby promises love and friendship, a crying or sick one brings worry and disappointment.

What happens in the dream

  • A bright, clean baby: love returned and many warm friends
  • A baby walking alone: strong independence and a disregard for petty minds
  • Holding your baby when it has a fever: much distress
  • Crying babies: poor health and disappointments
  • Nursing a baby: you'll be deceived by the person you trust most

How you felt

  • Tenderness: the dream may reflect a need to care for someone or be cared for
  • Worry: perhaps a new responsibility on your mind

Ask yourself

  • What is being born in my life?
  • What do I need to look after, in me or around me?
