Child-like self; Rebirth or revival; Trust and reliance.

Question:

What new is born inside me? Or was it just a rebirth? What is it that I trust? Am I confident enough?

In general:

– Safety and protection: In all cases (girl or boy) dreaming of baby is the symbol of the unconscious longing for security. There is nothing new – as we always are pursuing any kind of guarantees, so this part of our waking life comes in dreams with face of birth.
– Work and success: To carry a baby (male or female) in dream symbolizes work (or many of them) and not easy one, but hard. Don’t worry now, just keep reading. Dreaming that you are carrying a baby (or someone else, it’s doesn’t change anything) indicates current tough times and shows a little of future, where you will need to carry your burden for a while and only after many troubles with much efforts (hard work) you will be able to reach your ambitious goals, but only after much efforts. So make sure you have all your strengths and don’t let your success go away. Do it and throw away all worries, because at the end you’ll be the winner and you’ll be awarded.
– Harder and better: Breastfeed (syn. suckle, nurse) – to feed a baby with milk from the breast or to see in dream this process (someone else is feeding a baby), symbolizes same as carriage of baby (look up into part “Work and success”) exept one thing – you must be more responsible and perform your duty even harder and yet then, when you think it is unbearable or impossible to do or to finish. Just don’t quit, but finish what you have started and be a winner. “Try a little harder to be a little better.” as Gordon B. Hinckley once said.
– Old and new: Beautiful babies – friendship might end (big chances), renew or to start (rare scenario). But this dream’s condition is tricky one. There is ONLY a small possibility that you will encounter some changes related with your friends. But be aware that dreaming of handsome, lovely or pretty babies (must be more than one), announces potential loss in social life – the end in friendship or sometimes renewal of it, but keep in mind, that it shows also an oppurtunity to start a new one. Maybe you are in exactly this situation right now? Have you lost your friend/s or state of trust and support? Perhaps dream is a image of current changes of faith. Please, share your experience in comments.
– Unexpected irregular changes: To dream ugly (nasty, unsightly, unpleasant) babies points to minor irregularities in your own personality. If you see baby (babies) which is causing discomfort, unhappiness, then you should look deeper inside yourself and try to track down what has changed or happening right now with your own character. Maybe there is some anomalies and need to be fixed or re-evaluated and accepted as it is.
– Capacity of recall: Dreaming of dead baby or babies can sometimes suggest a bad memory (short and long term) . Maybe you are experiencing decrease in ability to remember? If you have problem with keeping things in mind, then you should concentrate and focus your attention more. Furthermore, think all over and see what have you forgot. Is there anything? Dreaming of defunct, deceased or lifeless symbols may show temporary problems not only with ability to use short term memory, but also to remember places, things, or persons. Perhaps you want to unlearn some part of your past? Is there a reason for that? Then this might be a cause why you have dreaming about babies which are lacking of vitality.

Psychologically:

On psychological level the baby can be expressed in a dream as a real desire to have children. In most cases possibility of this relation, when our direct conscious needs populate realm of subliminal world, is very big. Ask yourself, does this dream have connection with a pregnancy or birth you always wanted. Or maybe you’re expecting the baby already? If vision of dream isn’t exact mirror of  conscious desires or current pregnancy, then it symbolizes the childishness and immaturity of the dreamer. This means that certain traits of the dreaming person is not evolved or only insufficiently developed, but in this symbolism of dream is also telling that there is a want for completeness. Since this condition is already showing up in dream, means that this was long enough cherished and maintained, so next step in this scenario will be reaching goals and filling the gap. The baby in a dream may also represent the beginning of something fresh and completely new.

Hidden threat is new and not fully comprehended yet thus your fear for it might be late and such complexity is represented by small size of a snake. Dreaming about a nest full of many little snakes is a wake up call for you to reassess the importance of current issues in your life. What looks of minor significance at first impression, usually can bring a lot of trouble later.

If your dream is full of rattlesnake babies – then it serves as maximum alarm to you. But if attacking baby snakes miss and can’t bite – current obstacles is not a threat at all. You can be free from worries. You are overestimating recent issues.

An arousal of creative sexual temptation is represented by crawling snake baby over your body. If it comes from opening of your body, it has more erotic connotation. If you take it out – it can mean that you are able to manage those sexual desires. It you pull it out – means secret guilt. Alternatively, crawling snake babies in or out your body can represents your fertility, a wish for a child, or a pregnancy.

Very often pregnancy is represented by dreaming a snake in a baby crib or crawling and biting a new born baby. If snake is blue and/or white – it makes pregnancy meaning stronger because of similarity to water. Besides that it also means hidden and suppressed sexual desires. A lot of times snake is seen in wet dreams and are led by nocturnal emission with an orgasm and vaginal wetness.

A flow of healing transformation is symbolized by a snake which comes out of an egg. If it is a birth of a baby snake then your change just begins. If it is matured snake – then your transformation has reached maximum extreme. If you see many baby snakes being born, then the flow of changes has more directions. It can be spiritual, creative, or healing changes.

Psychological Meanings:

Animals in dreams represent the instinctual power that lies in every human – being. The animal in us, shows the actual meaning of the dream.

Wildness in you
It is known that people are different from animals, because of their ability to control the wild aspects which everyone of us has. At these days people live in society, where the use wild side of us is more and more suppressed and controlled. Because of these factors people dream quite often about animals. At least in their dreams they are free to express the suppressed emotions and feelings. Consider, dreams of wild animals is a good and positive omen, because only in them the energy of life is expressed the way we want.

Domestic animals
Domestic animals also have an important meaning in your dream, only it is interpreted lighter, because they are already tamed and more close to human nature. Otherwise, the domestic animals play much more important role than wild ones. People share the life with them day by day, not seeing them only on certain occasions.

Emotional impact in everyday life
The dreams that are related to animals have a very important and big impact with everyday life. When we have an emotional crisis it reflex in our dreams.
For example, someone that just broke up, having the dream of the animal attacking him, then such dream might show the anger towards that person.
Another example, the dreamer has a dream of seeing the animal feeding his babies, then such dream might indicate your parental instincts or the environment which includes children you are surrounded by.
The third example explains man’s relationships to his divorced wife. He was dreaming of being a tiger and trying to eat his ex wife. The dream shows how angry he is, and because in reality these feelings are suppressed, the dreamer experience those feelings through dreams.

Past, present and future
Dreams that are related to animals might represent past, present or future and what impact it has in your life. People very often hold on to past being afraid of moving forward. Some types of the animals might represent the past, for example sleeping bear, because it shows how sleepy, lazy the dreamer is, staying at the same place and not moving forward. The other explanation of animals could show the present state of your mind and life, which could have many different meanings, for example, the dreamer has experience problems with his own pet or thinking of getting one. It also could show the present state of his mind, such as anger (if dreaming of tiger), softness (if dreaming of kittens) and laziness (if dreaming of sloth). Everyone thinks more or less of the future what they would like to do and achieve in life. The dreams that are related to animals could show your desire to have children if, for example you see the pig feeding it’s babies.

Different dream explanations depending on type of the animal:

Monkey – this animal shows the playful, childish, curious and mischievous side of dreamers personality. Sometimes monkeys are seen as aggressive animals, but in reality it just the consequence of curiosity, therefore the dream may show the nosy aspects of his personality.

Chameleon – is highly specialized reptile of lizards. If the dreamer dreams of being a chameleon, such dream indicates his ability to adapt himself to different environments and surroundings. The dream also signifies prudence when making important decisions, because the chameleon is known for being fast when it’s needed.
Squirrel – in dreams has a negative meaning. If the dreamer sees the squirrel in his dream, then it shows that the relationships he is in are useless, or the love life is going not according to plan, or you should be aware of making important business deals.
Lizard – to see the reptile called lizard, denotes to your primal instincts. Because instincts have big influence of your life, sometimes you are controlled by them more than you like.
Otherwise, there is a positive meaning, which shows your creativity, tough skin and high opinions.
Unicorn – the main meaning of this dream symbolizes purity. In old book, it is said that unicorns can be seen only by women. The unicorn represents the goodness and innocence of any female.
