Having a Baby

Dream By Daisy – For the last little while I have been constantly dreaming about babies. I have dreamt about breastfeeding a baby.

Now last night I dreamt that I found out I was pregnant…and 2 weeks later I had the baby. I had no clothes or diapers for the baby..nothing. I remember saying something about there not being enough time for anyone to hold a baby shower for me. Although I had a baby I never physically got large from the pregnancy.
I remember a yellow snowsuit being involved in it too. My mother gave it to me, it was one I used to wear when I was a baby. Please help….why do I keep dreaming of having babies and holding them?


Reply By Dream Patient – Hi, First the questions! Do you like babies? Did your mother like babies? Are you currently with a man and could you be making babies in reality? Then if you are not wanting to be making babies in reality, this is what carrying a baby means to you – A new life, partly yours, partly in you which waits until it is mature enough to leave your inner world and get born out in the real world, so it can develop relationships with it.

So you can SEE what the life looks like that has been percolating in you for……two weeks you said. What happenend two weeks ago for you to make you feel full of possibilities, a new life for you which your job is to nurture, feed, wait for and respond to.

This is not the same work as the job of the father, biologically speaking I mean. There are many wonderful nurturing men out there. But none yet biologically with wombs and having lived with menstruation their whole lives!

The job of the ego who dreams such a dream (whether the dreamer is male or female) is that they have to listen, go carefully, be patient and eat well, don’t drink or smoke a lot, sleep well, so that the new life can be born healthy.

Is the new life an idea, a relationship, a talent, a new activity in your life? Your mother job is to wait healthily till the birth. Not interfere with nature. The biggest birth we usually wait for is the one we went through ourselves physically but need to go through psychologically and spiritually when we are mature.

Perhaps especially women do in relation to our mothers. We need to know that we can take over this role and power….sometimes almost from her. Also, we all need to give birth to ourselves, as spiritual leaders have suggested. We cannot get into the fullness of ife if we do not get born again.

What is lacking in your psychological energy, are some pactical preperations for the newness of the baby. The you which is being born imaginatively in the world needs to have something to keep her clean.
She needs to be protected out there with a persona, clothing which keep other people from seeing her naked unprotected body. We need privacy from others. This is good and natural. Even in societies where the climate is nice all the time, people wear coverings which signify roles and place and beauty and imagination.

You need more time to nurture this new you so that you can relate better to people out there. You want them to recognise the new you and give you stuff to help you out. There may be a lack of your own self-mothering and maybe masculine skills here (especially if the baby was a boy in the dream).

Perhaps you didn’t really need a big shower for things. The dream shows a gift to you! All you need is your old baby snowsuit. What a wonderful gift from your mother! Yellow (do you like it?) and a suit to protect you from the cold (cold feelings and freezing emotions!) Were you glad for the gift? Or was it something you used to need protection from and she did a good job with this and now you too can pass this on to your new self?

Do you find that you had/have a problem with feeling all frozen about life and that now you are warming up? This is perhaps the very new life which the dream was all about! By the way was the baby girl or boy? This will show you the part of yourself, whether masculine or feminine which is coming into new life. There can be many births before you are really confidant that you’re secure!
