Dreaming of a Midwife
midwife, birth attendant, doula, obstetrician · mostly negative, with one happy exception
A midwife foretells illness and secrets revealed, but freedom for anyone who feels confined.
What happens in the dream
- A midwife: illness with a narrow escape
- If you are held against your will: freedom, the one happy omen
- If you are ill: a very bad omen
- More broadly: secrets revealed, and sometimes harm or slander
- Dreaming of her often when not pregnant: a long illness
How you felt
- A need for support: the dream may reflect a birth, real or symbolic, on the way
- Apprehension: it may express a fear of a secret coming out
Ask yourself
- What is trying to be born in my life?
- Which secret am I afraid will come out?
