Dreaming of Pregnancy
pregnancy, expecting, pregnant · mixed
Pregnancy in a dream has sharply divided readings: tension and sorrow for some, good fortune or a happy delivery for others.
What happens in the dream
- You dream you are pregnant when you are not: special good luck, a gift or money coming into the household
- You really are pregnant: a safe delivery and quick recovery
- You are in a relationship: tension with your partner, in other readings
- If you are single: a sudden marriage, or by contrast gossip and hardship
- You are pregnant: sorrow and hard labour; you give birth: the opposite, relief
How you felt
- Anticipation or apprehension: the dream often reflects a plan or change in the making
- Joy: perhaps a wish to create, to nurture or to see something come to life
Ask yourself
- What is growing inside me?
- Am I ready for what is about to be born?
