What are possible meanings for dreams of eggs?

In the image of an egg you see potential for something new to emerge, new life. It could be a physical representation of something emerging in you such as a new personality trait, desire or idea.

Eggs are associated with birth. The egg can symbolize the birth of something in yourself or your life, or something emerging from the unconscious mind. See: Giving birth, Unconscious minds

The symbolism can connect with learning about your natural abilities and realizing your potential. It can symbolize entering a new phase of life or taking on a new role, such as a job or becoming a parent.

An egg in a dream can symbolize incubation, as in incubating a thought or idea. Something is gradually coming to maturity or getting ready to emerge from yourself. It is not yet fully conscious or developed. Incubation can mean you are in a period of rest or contemplation.

If the shell of an egg is cracked, it can symbolize fragility. It can mean your feelings are fragile, or a situation is delicate. It can mean that clumsiness or too much force leads to misfortune or damage. For example, dreaming about your spouse with a cracked egg can mean now’s the time to go easy on the person. Or it’s a delicate time for the relationship.

The same imagery, though, can also indicate “coming out of your shell.” You might be learning to really show yourself, or be feeling comfortable engaging with people or with life.

Symbolism shows through action. So for example, dreaming about juggling eggs and dropping one can symbolize being careless with something delicate. Dreaming about squeezing an egg can symbolize something that gets stronger the more pressure is applied.

Females can dream about eggs in connection with the eggs in their ovaries, related to thoughts and feelings about conception, children, and family. Eggs tend to appear in the dreams of women concerned about the onset of menopause. In this sense, counting eggs in a dream can symbolize guessing how much longer a woman has to get pregnant. Eggs are also a common theme in dreams related to getting pregnant—it’s a way for the body to tell the mind that an egg has been fertilized, or a woman is ovulating. See: Ovaries, Pregnancy

The idea of fertility extends further to include the fertility of the planet, Mother Earth, and of the soul, both of which are symbolized as the egg in some cultures. It is not necessary for you to know that the egg is a symbol of Mother Earth or soul. It is an archetypal symbol, meaning universal, and its symbolism is embedded in the collective unconscious.

Finding a basket or nest of eggs can symbolize discovering something about yourself, especially in relation to inherited traits and talents. It can symbolize resources stored for the future, as in “nest egg.” It can indicate a physical inheritance in the form of money or possessions.

Decayed or rotten eggs can indicate bad intention and character. A “rotten egg” is a bad person.

To be pelted by eggs can indicate defamation or dishonesty.

The idiom “egg on your face” means embarrassment.

Hi, I'd love if yall could help interpret my dream!

So, basically, my father has always been a part of my life, he was always present everywhere, but it still feels like his whole life revolves around his work rather than family.

​

Today my dream was, I was a child and my brother had a birthday.

(This was in the morning) My mom, my brother and I were sitting in the kitchen just chatting (none of us said 'happy birthday' to him), then suddenly, my brother gets up and walks towards the garden of the house and we follow him, he walks into the garden and then walks back with an amazing breakfast, eggs and shit.

my mom and I start awkwardly singing happy birthday as if we were part of the breakfast and didn't just forget his birthday, we walk back towards the kitchen (I remember my father leaning on the side of the door, smiling, though I didn't see him in the dream) and we keep singing and being really happy.

Then I see my father leaving for work and I run up to him, give him a huge hug and say "Thank you"

​

I woke up crying and I'm crying while writing this but I have no idea why, my father is alive and fine and we see him often, he isn't even that far from us because of work or anything.

​

Thanks for the help in interpreting!

So, basically, my father has always been a part of my life, he was always present everywhere, but it still feels like his whole life revolves around his work...

Had a weird dream last night

In my dream I was in the garage waiting for my husband to come in and I started to vomit up tiny blue bird eggs into a bucket and was making sure I was doing so carefully so I wouldn't break the bird eggs. I was calling for him and could hear him but never saw him in the dream.

Does anyone think this dream might mean something or nah?

A smelly dream! Please help interpret!

I had a dream that I was in a bedroom and I had to give a man a massage. He was black with dreads and had on a t-shirt and jeans. When I tried to help him remove his shirt it was like he was a ghost and I could not touch him. Then his clothing changed to just having a hay bracelet and a haystack skirt. I started to smell a odor coming off this man that was worst then rotten eggs.It smelled like something was decaying and the man didn't change his expression on his face at all like he was not normal or something. And at first I thought it was from the haystack skirt but then it seem like it was coming from his private part. This is the only dream I ever had that I could smell in my dream. By the way I am African American.

Dream of parasites eating me

Warning! This can make your skin crawl! It was a few days ago when I had a really disturbing dream. I saw something moving and pulsating beneath the skin of my right arm. In my dream I'm able to see through the skin and muscles, the creature looked like a white caterpillar. I didn't feel anything at first, but the more I observe, the more I feel the sensation of how it moves. It made my heart skipped a beat and was already panicking, but I forced myself to calm down. To my horror, there are more of them inside my body tearing away my flesh, drinking blood, and defecating. I saw some of their eggs, and there's also something crawling in my internal organs. My condition is getting worse yet I'm unable to feel the pain. I feel so confused and shocked, I couldn't keep my composure any longer. Then I realized that I'm dreaming and the dream ended just like that. I wonder what could this possibly mean.

An oddly sensual, vivid dream I had this morning

I want to share an unusually vivid dream from last night.

I was on a college campus that I'd never been to before, with lots of people. I was at a bar/refreshment stand in the middle of a multi-story union/classroom building with an atrium and second story balcony leading to classrooms and a basement off to my left. Someone kept handing me sticks of gum, so I kept chewing them. Eventually my mouth was full of gum, and some was running down my throat to the point that I had to pull long, thick strings of gum out of my throat, which gagged me and made me drool. I went to get a drink, but there was no bartender to be found. I wanted Jaeger for some reason, which I never drink, so I looked behind the bar and saw a tap for Jaeger but then noticed an ex girlfriend from highschool walking in a group of people in the upstairs balcony/hall. I tried to wave but she didn't see me.

Next I'm walking into to a classroom, long and thin with multiple tables, and a large whiteboard on wheels in the middle of the room. It was supposedly for a science or math class. There was a few other students filing in behind me. The class was on the second or third floor, which matters later. I sat down at the back behind the whiteboard, near a set of glass swing-out windows. I found a pair of socks (supposedly mine?) laying on the ground under my feet and thought something about "guess they're still here."

Suddenly I'm in the same classroom, but it's mostly empty and dark, like the Upside Down. There are some weird egg sac pustule looking things attached to the wall. They pulsed and sprayed a thin, airy jet of "egg" or "seeds" and even though I was freaked out, somehow I knew that the larvae were going to become butterflies.

Then I was back in the room as normal. A group of young men stood up and carried a microwave to a window, which they swung open with force. I stood up and turned towards them. They yelled "ONE, TWO, THREE, LOOK OUT BELOW!" and proceeded to throw the microwave out the window and I watched as the last of the cord disappeared whipping wildly as it fell. It crashed on the cement below, where multiple students were walking into the building from a parking lot.

Next thing I know I'm back at the bar island with a pint in front of me. I was sat down at the far side of the bar from where the dream started and there was a short, cute, blonde girl with large breasts sitting next to me. We talked for a second, then she was in my arms, being sweet and affectionate. I could feel her bra under her shirt where her extravagant breasts pressed into me. I walked her to the basement where a large glass double door was leading to a classroom and as soon as we got to the bottom she said something about not being mine. I got on my knees and jokingly begged for her back, it wasn't obvious if she was being serious, because we were both still laughing and smiling. She said something I can't remember and so I walked back up the stairs. When I reached the top, she threw her arms wide and yelled "Come and get me boys, I'm right here!" I gave her the finger and walked away through a large throng of students yelling something about "1% of 1%, you don't know what you're missing." Which means nothing to me awake.

Then I woke up.
