An interpretation of giving birth dreams

An interpretation of giving birth dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Childbirth can symbolize the beginning of something new, especially something new in your life or in yourself. In the image of giving birth, you see the emergence of new creativity, new opportunity, new spirituality, new personality traits, new personal qualities, or a new relationship. See: Babies For example, a man dreams he’s in a hospital giving birth, and the doctor is an old friend and the father of the baby. Childbirth in the dream symbolizes the emergence of new qualities in himself, inspired by the old friend. That friend enjoys much success in his life because he’s hardworking and disciplined. The dreamer, wanting to be more successful, made himself become more hardworking and disciplined. The friend in the dream represents the qualities the man associates with him—that’s why the man is both the father and the doctor. The symbolism is especially obvious because a pregnant man is a huge discrepancy with reality. The immediate assumption is that giving birth in the dream is a metaphor. Dreaming about giving birth to an animal can symbolize the emergence of that animal’s qualities in yourself, especially instinctual qualities such as protecting your young and mating. But consider possibilities for metaphors, too. For example, giving birth to a full-size bear can mean that something really big is working through you, such as a big idea or plan. Giving birth to a kitten or puppy can symbolize the emergence of playfulness or innocence in yourself. See: Kittens, Puppies Giving birth to a dead baby can symbolize the phrase “dead on arrival.” It can mean that something you started got halted, such as a creative project. See: Children Dreaming about a premature birth can mean that you don’t feel ready for something. Such as when you are thrown into a situation prematurely, or more is expected than you can “deliver.” See: Miscarriages For pregnant women, giving birth in a dream can connect with related thoughts and feelings such as anticipation of the big day and fears about what could go wrong. The dream is like a dress rehearsal. See: Pregnancy In simplest terms, childbirth means “getting something out of you.” It could be something creative that you want to get out of you, but childbirth can also mean getting out thoughts, feelings or emotions. Oftentimes, you have a tremendous sense of relief after the birth. See: Caesarean sections See also: Adoptions, Babies, Caesarean sections, Caves, Children, Fathers, Fetuses, Kittens, Miscarriages, Mothers, Pregnancy, Puppies
