Dreaming of Suckling

suckle, breastfeed · positive

Seeing young being suckled foretells contentment, success and often a birth.

What happens in the dream

  • You see young ones suckling: contentment and conditions favouring success
  • You see a child nursed, if you are single: new responsibilities, perhaps time to think of marriage
  • If you are already a parent: the joy of a new child
  • You nurse a child, if you have a partner: another birth soon

How you felt

  • Tenderness: the dream may reflect a need to give or receive care
  • Responsibility: it can mean you feel like the one who nourishes others

Ask yourself

  • Whom am I nourishing, literally or not?
  • What care do I need myself?
