Dreaming about pregnancy: what does it mean? Is it a sign of a son on the way?

Dreaming about pregnancy does not necessarily mean that a baby is on the way. The dream of a pregnant person can refer to something, like a project, being generated. However, dreaming of an unwanted pregnancy or miscarriage can be a sign of difficulty or interruption of some creative process.

It is important to understand what it means to dream about pregnancy, as dreams can be a channel of communication with yourself, a form of self-knowledge. For this, let’s understand more about the symbols that are inside your pregnancy dream:

Being pregnant in a dream does not mean that you are actually pregnant or that the person you are dreaming about is or will become pregnant. There are, but are rare, reports of precognitive dreams regarding pregnancy or death.

The symbol itself is more than an anticipation, it is wide in its possibilities. Pregnancy itself is the act of gestating, generating, allowing the development of something in formation, creating from within.

The uterus is the place of the experience of concavity, of enveloping, of snuggling and welcoming, although for many people it can be a very turbulent and traumatic experience. For this reason, the dreamer must carry out a more personal analysis of his own experiences with this symbol – if this is your case, it is important to think about Psychoembryology, a therapy that helps to understand conflicts in pregnancy.

Among common dreams for many people, especially women, is having a child. The concreteness of pregnancy is a process that occurs exclusively inside the woman’s body, although men become emotionally “pregnant” when they enjoy, wait and accompany the entire gestation and birth of their children.

Feminine is not exclusive to women.. There is a part of the male psyche where the feminine exists, and for some men this part is more conscious than for others. For this reason and for the freedom and fluidity with which the unconscious communicates, a man could dream that he is pregnant.

To generate, gestate and create, we don’t need to be pregnant. Therefore, the meaning of dreaming about pregnancy can be related to something that is being created and generated from within and it can be an idea, a project, a desire, the planning of a new activity.

Dreaming of pregnancy can be a reproduction of your life, whether it is the desire to have a child or concern after a sexual relationship, but it can also just be an amplification of something that happens to you, in your professional or personal life.

Therefore, some questions can help in this process of understanding the symbology of the dream, facilitating self-reflection and encouraging the person to make associations with what they live in everyday life or with situations they have already experienced.

And, above all, taking the interpretation into reality and being able to take some action.

Questions you need to ask about pregnancy dreams

In your dream, is the pregnancy yours or is someone else pregnant? If it’s someone else’s, what is it like and what representation does it have in your life? What impressions and feelings does pregnancy generate in your dream? Does any birth take place in the dream? How do you deal or think about pregnancy?

STEP TWO: WHAT’S GOING ON IN YOUR REAL LIFE

How have I been dealing with my creative processes? Do I express all my creative potential or do I contain it out of insecurity, fear? Am I allowing my projects and ideas to develop? Do I give vent to my insights and ideas or do I devalue and put them aside? Do I have the patience to develop and implement my projects or do I give up on them halfway through? Do I accept the time of events or do I precipitately forge its realization?

Pregnancy in the dream can mean both something positive and desired for the dreamer, and something negative, such as a feeling of insecurity or even difficulty putting something into practice.

Better understand the interpretations and meaning of dreaming about pregnancy according to the stage of your current life.

Dream about positive pregnancy test

Dreaming of a positive pregnancy test can either be linked to concern and the desire to get pregnant and have a child, or be related to something you have been looking forward to, such as a project, a new job or a relationship.

Dream about pregnancy

Pregnancy in the dream as something positive and desired for the dreamer can indicate a strong creative process in progress, and such processes are being duly managed and developed even in an inner dimension of the individual.

Dream about someone else’s pregnancy

Dreaming about the pregnancy of another pregnant person can simply indicate your desire to have a child and emphasize your desire to become pregnant.

On the other hand, it could also mean that you are putting your dreams on the back burner. Dreaming of someone else’s pregnancy can show a lack of confidence in your own abilities and that you believe it is not the time to put your ideas into practice.

Dream about unwanted pregnancy

Dreaming of an unwanted pregnancy or one that generates despair and fear can refer to the way the dreamer deals with his creativity: fearing his own fertility and creative possibilities, the expression of his ideas or dealing with an internal impediment of insecurity in relation to his own projects . It is worth here to investigate the origin of these fears.

dream of childbirth

A successful pregnancy, which culminates in a birth, demonstrates that the dreamer is probably flowing and realizing ideas and processes that have already matured internally.

There is an indication that this creative process is possibly fruitful and validated to exist. In addition, it means that, internally, it already has a more defined or known outline for the dreamer in his reality.

dream about abortion

Dreaming of an abortion, on the other hand, can indicate the interruption or impediment of any creative process that has begun. Many times, a person can be so damaged from a psychic point of view, that their ideas and the entire development of their creative potential are subjected to fierce criticism or invalidation, making it impossible for them to be born.

Dreaming of a premature birth

In the same way, a premature birth can indicate a hasty step, a lack of patience with the natural development time of internal and external events.
