Dream Interpretation: Baby

A baby in a dream is one of the strongest symbols for new beginnings and untapped potential. It represents something in you that's just emerging – a new project, a new side of your personality, or a feeling that's slowly making its way into the light. How the baby appears in your dream gives you an important clue about the state of this inner development.

If you feel joy and tenderness in the dream, that may be taken as an encouraging sign that you feel at ease and ready on this new path. If, on the other hand, you sense overwhelm or fear, your unconscious could be signaling that you wish for more care and patience – especially toward yourself. A crying baby can point to unmet needs, a laughing one to joy in life and trust in growth.

What in your life is still in its infancy right now – and what would it take for this tender something to grow safely?
