Dreaming of a Stillborn Child
stillborn, dead baby, miscarriage, stillbirth · mixed
A stillborn child foretells distressing news, though some read it as hope of a bright child.
What happens in the dream
- You give birth to a stillborn child: your next child will be unusually bright
- You dream of a stillborn infant: a distressing event will come to your attention
- If you have no children: your dearest hopes will come true
How you felt
- Grief: the dream may reflect a plan or hope that never came to life
- Anxiety: it can echo fears around becoming a parent
Ask yourself
- Which project never got off the ground?
- What hope do I still want to carry?
