Dream Analysis Needed

Sunday night I dreamt I was pregnant and had a baby. I did not dream the delivery as that has always kinda scared me. Just the thought of an episiotomy is enough to make me cross my legs. :redface: Seriously I think I was 12 when I first learned what an episiotomy was and I decided then and there to have a c-section.

I think I was a single mom though I did seem to have a boyfriend. I have no idea if I had a boy or a girl baby, it seemed to alternate maybe I had twins? :confused: The weird thing about my dream was that I kept forgetting the baby. Like I would put it down in the supermarket, on the bus, on a park bench and when I got up I would have the diaper bag, my purse, stuff I had purchased, baby toys; but no baby. The other weird thing was that the baby was clearly a newborn, no more than a few days old and I was just carrying it in my arms. Not in a snuggly or one of those car seat/baby carriers.



  1. So what does this mean?
  2. Have I forgotten to do something important like have children?
  3. Am I too busy worrying about the little things?
  4. Have I forgotten to do something important?
  5. Or does this mean I shouldn't eat chicken enchiladas at 2:00 AM? :tongue:

#5 Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! LOL! But also I think you are concerned about your opportunities to have children while enjoying much of the freedom you have now. Your little cousin is no joke and perhaps you have been thinking about the realities of the parenthood issue. Just my 2 cents worth.
 
Yeah, the most profound dreams happen after late night acidic food consumption.

Actually, it could be that you don't feel properly prepared to take on a big task, even though you feel as though you've got everything to handle it. It could be something as connected like your cousin's situation. Obviously, I don't know all of that detail, but if it's anything the experience I had with friends who've gotten preagnant at a young age...you're going through that journey with her. Since it's not necessarily your time to have a child, it's not feeling right in your soul.


I dunno, it could be gas too.

So what does this mean?
Maybe the body is trying to make you wake up so you can go pee. Anytime I have crazy dreams, I wake up with a full bladder.

The dream may not even mean anything.
Have I forgotten to do something important like have children?
If you wanted children, you would've had them by now.
And if you wanted children, you would adopt...
but you would be careless with them...so it is your mind working out that maternal scheme...letting you know that you wouldn't want any children.

Am I too busy worrying about the little things?

I doubt it.
Have I forgotten to do something important?

Maybe you have a major idea, a fully formed idea about something in your life...but you keep on doing other things neglecting it. But you cradle the idea with your arms because you don't trust the things outside of yourself.
Or does this mean I shouldn't eat chicken enchiladas at 2:00 AM? :tongue:

I doubt it. I have eaten spicier stuff and not had a single dream.
 
But Prepstudinsc, how else will they learn how to curse in Italian and make decent marinara, if I don't have plenty of access to them during their formative years? :confused:
 
LOL! The marinara sauce sounds delicious, but the cursing... well... One word of advice, don't let Miss Coco get a hold of your hair with a comb. She might give you a hairdo you will never out grow. Ask her grandma with a buzz cut! :eek:
 
NJ - I don't think this is about actual babies at all. I think it is far more likely that the baby is symbollic of some part of you that you feel is important - so important that you have to hold it in your arms, not trust it to a baby carrier - but a part of you you feel is being forgotten, left behind. You get up and you remember all the other associated things but not the 'baby' - the important thing is being shelved, hidden, ignored. A baby could represent something innocent or vunerable (or both).
 
ManlyBanisters, I like your perception of it; because I was thinking it had something to do with me having put my career on hold to help care for my dad. :redface: Lately I have been jonesing to re-enter the workforce; but the job market stinks and I am ambivalent about leaving my mom to care for him alone for 10+ hours a day. She can do it but she's old too and it would exhaust her.

Jung would probably say that, I am the baby and I am forgetting me in the hustle of daily living. Not sure that's true. I do take time out for me, just not as often as I would like.
 
Dreams tend not to be about the things in them, a new born baby would seem to suggest something new in your life and the fact that you keep forgetting it maybe means you don't think you are giving it enough attention.

Maybe you need to look at my video again :biggrin1:
