Dreams About Baby: Meaning and Interpretation

Not only women who are pregnant dream of babies, sometimes men do too: In the interpretation of dreams, babies can stand for the birth of something new in addition to the desire to have a child, or they can also refer to the own childlike self.

How’s the baby behaving?

How the baby behaves in your dream changes the meaning of the dream. For example, a clean, happy baby in the interpretation of a dream can symbolize a promising future in your job or the purity of interpersonal relationships. If it is sick, this would rather be a sign of conflicts that could possibly come your way. If the baby cries out in the dream, it may represent your own hunger for love and appreciation.

Thus, in terms of your relationship, a baby can be a dream symbol of your desire for more closeness: a baby needs a lot of attention and love. If you meet a crying or sick baby in your dream, this indicates in the dream interpretation that something in the waking world needs all your attention and concentration, be it a specific person or a project you have to do. But perhaps it also refers to yourself and the need to devote sufficient time to your own person even in a stressful phase.

Inner desire

Infants awaken ancient protective instincts in us. The dream of a baby can thus indicate that you care a lot for your fellow human beings and take responsibility for them. If a baby appears in your dream, it can also mean the exact opposite in the interpretation of the dream: Your need for protection and the inner desire to be a carefree baby again and thus to be relieved of all obligations you have in real life.
