What are possible meanings for dreams of abortions?
In simplest terms, to abort means to stop. In a dream it can indicate that something has been, or needs to be, aborted: a plan, relationship, idea, thought process.
The word is used in the sense of “abort the mission” and “abort the plan.” Dreams like to make comparisons and visual wordplays, so abortion in a dream can symbolize something like canceling a date or backing out of a commitment. It’s aborted.
Abortion can mean something is blocking progress or causing harm and needs to stop. Danger lurks. Stop now before things get worse.
When a sense of relief accompanies an abortion, it can mean something ended that was causing concern or anxiety.
Getting pregnant is sometimes a problem, so an abortion can symbolize a solution. Whatever is aborted needs to go. Time to let go or change direction.
Abortion can symbolize rejecting something trying to psychologically or emotionally burrow into you, as a fertilized egg burrows into the uterine wall. See: Worms
Dreams can create symbolism based on the perception of what it’s like to have one—it’s invasive and difficult—and the emotions experienced: anxiety, separation, relief, regret. In which case, abortion is more about the feelings it invokes than the specifics of the symbolism.
Abortion implies not getting the result you want. Maybe you took a risk or tried something new, and it didn’t work out.
It implies starting over, trying again.
Dreams can create symbolism related to the controversy of abortion and how it sharply divides people. For example, a woman dreams that her niece is pregnant and wants to have an abortion, creating a huge controversy in the family. In reality, her niece wants to drop out of college, and that’s what’s causing the controversy. Abortion connects with the overall circumstances because getting pregnant is a reason that some women drop out of school.
Abortion protesters might symbolize feeling like you are on the other side of an important issue, or feel divided from a group.
If you have had an abortion and dream about it, you could be working through unresolved feelings or issues related to it. It can mean you fear getting pregnant, or making a big mistake. Dreaming about an abortion when you’re actually pregnant can express fear of miscarriage. See: Miscarriages
Being forced to have an abortion in a dream can symbolize doing something against your will, such as end a relationship or give up on an idea, or being prevented from doing something that you want to do. It can symbolize fear that you won’t be able to follow through on something important to you.
Dreaming that a friend or relative has an abortion can indicate that something unhealthy about the relationship needs to end, or you have a low opinion of the person.
Dreaming about a pregnant female you know having an abortion can symbolize fear that the person will miscarry, or is not ready to be a parent.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy. See: Pregnancy
For some people, it’s murder. See: Killing
For a married, monogamous woman, an abortion can reflect concerns for her husband. If she was supposedly pregnant, the child would be expected to be his, so an abortion can indicate concerns about his well-being or the state of their marriage. The symbolism is built around the idea that her husband is not ready to be a father. The idea extends to significant others and boyfriends.
Someone married and having an affair can dream about an abortion as a way of expressing fear about getting caught. Getting pregnant, or getting someone pregnant, is hard to hide.

What could this possibly mean...
I had the longest and most vivid I’ve ever experienced.
I’m currently residing in an African country for my studies (reality) and found out I was pregnant. Because abortion is illegal I had no choice here so I ended up telling my family and they were oddly VERY supportive and offered to take care of my child whilst I continue my studies however the reality set in and I was 100% confident about wanting an abortion.
I go back home to England and meet my best friend let’s call her T (I’m 3 months pregnant by this time). She works in a shelter for pregnant women (this is just in the dream irl she’s a student like me) and she doesn’t offer me any sort of help or support which is very unlike her. I even beg and plead w her even says if she finds an abortion clinic she would prioritise “Kristina” who is another patient in the shelter to get an abortion before me and she’s yet to find it so she cannot help me.
The last part of my dream I just accepted this and felt alone and decided that I would get a hanger or kill myself to rid myself of this baby and woke up.
I still feel the hopelessness and desperation from the dream and had to google abortion laws in different countries just in case this ever came true to set my mind at ease😂
Another note is that I’m a virgin and still a virgin in this dream! As a fact I’m baffled as to how I even became pregnant in the first place.
Tl;dr: virgin pregnant in my dream for 3 months and cannot get my baby aborted in Africa due to laws and travel back to England and my friend offers me no support or help and wake up w suicidal thoughts whilst still carrying my child
I had the longest and most vivid I’ve ever experienced.

Being pregnant and crying over abortion? Does this have some hidden meaning?
I had this dream a couple days ago. I was pregnant with my long distance friend’s child. Me and him get along super well, we talk almost all the time.
The dream beings with me sitting on my chair but it wasn’t my room, at a computer talking with him. I told him I was pregnant but I was scared so it took me a while. He accepted and he was happy and said he’d take good care of both me and the baby.
Then I remember my mom came and I started crying and she said it’s okay to make the choice I want which was abortion. I was crying but I didn’t want to kill the baby. (Mention my belly didn’t grow when I had this part of the dream).
Then after some time I was in a place with a lot of lights and there was like a car race and it was night. My friend then came there and I told him I don’t want the baby and he accepted that. I was crying that time too. After that we began to run from something and he told me to stay in a place but I feel in some kind of forest with super big trees like sequoia trees.
The forest was full of natural sun light, yellow and the trees had a lot is moss on them. I was trying to climb them back to get to the place where my friend was.
Then my mom was on a tree (the tree I was climbing was in this // kind of position) and I remember I was crying again. My belly had grown like I was 7-6 month pregnant and I was wearing like a pink t-shirt like dress and I had super wavy hair that was up to my back and it was like a dark gingery color.
Then I woke up and I was confused because my friend had texted me. The same friend I dreamt about.
I have to mention I have never done anything that could get me pregnant in reality and me and my friend don’t have that kind of relationship. We adjust talk a lot. And the girl that was somehow me, I don’t look like her nor wear dresses.

Vomiting up fetuses
Last night I dreamed I was at a gathering of people. There was a strange liquid in large bowls we were invited to drink. It was cloudy and white. I dipped my hand in and it was delicious and sweet, so I had more and more. I remember it was rumored to be made of some kind of root that was good for pregnancies. Then a person in charge began to talk about abortions. I realized I needed to vomit. My stomach was spasming painfully. There was a kitchen type sink already full of water and I had to vomit in it. I could feel a large chunk of something coming up my throat and when it came out it was a dead fetus. The sink water immediately went reddish and I couldn’t see the fetus. I went on to use the sink to vomit up nine more dead fetuses of varying size. Near the end I looked in the sink right after vomiting up the largest one and it bobbed back to the surface for a moment. Its face was contorted and I could see its skeleton through the reddish translucent skin.
Online interpretations aren’t helping much with this one. Does anyone have an idea?

Ex girlfriend of many years selling me gold that kept breaking?
To make this short, I was with an ex girl for many years. It was really good up until we were expecting a baby. She had an abortion and we splitted.
It’s been a while now since we’ve been broken up, but last night I had a weird dream. I dreamt of going to her grandmothers house to buy gold. She opened the door and told me that grandma was sleeping but she could sell me the gold. I sat down on the table and picked up her newborn baby and the baby spoke. She said her name was Miriam and then she turned into a cat and ran off.
The gold jewelry she brought out kept breaking and also the jade. As I was asking for the prices, someone told us to wait till grandma woke up to discuss prices.
What does this all mean? Gold crumbling, baby turning into cat, and all that other stuff.

Dreamed I wore my Exs penis as my own 😳
Lmao as the title says,
I had a weird dream I just woke up from and all I can remember is that at one point I looked down and where my parts should be was my Exs.
As a woman I was in extra awe over the phenomenon and started playing with it .. until, well.. you know 😅
I ended up shooting it across the room hahah
When I was done, his penis suddenly disattached and I was able to remove it with my regular parts underneath.
I had made a mess all over when I was wearing him and since I still had my own reproductive system I recall worriedly wondering the chances of me being pregnant.
Also, the only other part of the dream I recall is random flashes of me scrolling through Facebook & seeing my best friends new photos where I noticed she looked a lot bigger than normal, until I got to a post where she said they're expecting another baby in a couple months.
(That friend is actually a couple weeks pregnant right now, awaiting on an abortion due to medical reasons 😔 )
ANYWAY, clearly this is way too weird and complex for those 'dream dictionary' sites lol
So I figured I'd ask you fine people of Reddit what you think.😬
