What pregnant women dream about and why: childbirth, baby, stroller, fish, etc.

What explains the appearance of vivid dreams in pregnant women?

We all have dreams, but for pregnant women they are usually more vivid, bizarre, and with a sense of reality. It turns out that this can be explained by physiological reasons. The fact is that night dreams mostly occur during the REM stage of sleep. At this time, brain activity increases (information accumulated during the day is processed), sleep is sensitive, the pupils move under the eyelids.

During pregnancy, a woman’s quality of sleep deteriorates: due to her large belly, it is difficult for her to find a comfortable position, and the bladder puts pressure on the uterus. Therefore, the expectant mother often wakes up at night - as a result, the number of REM sleep phases increases and more dreams arise.

Of course, the psychological factor also plays a role. The very period of bearing a child gives a woman a whole range of sensations - from intense excitement to euphoria. In a dream, these experiences, as well as secret desires, are processed in the mind and reflected in the form of various images.

Pregnancy gives a woman a whole range of strong emotions - from a feeling of euphoria to deep emotions

Although today there are many dream books compiled on the basis of folk observations, esoteric knowledge, and prophecies, a sane person should not take them too seriously.

This confirms the fact that the same image in a dream in different dream books can be interpreted differently and often even have completely opposite meanings.

Of course, if a pregnant woman dreams of something unusual, she can look through the dream book purely for the sake of interest and curiosity. If the interpretation is good, this is another reason to smile, but if it is bad, in no case should you take it into your head. You should know that in this way our brain overcomes its fears and concerns, and this is good.

There is a monastic principle filled with patristic wisdom regarding dreams: “do not accept and do not reject.” Of course, a person’s spiritual life continues in a dream, but one must have the chastity of the Old Testament Joseph and the purity of the New Testament Joseph in order to dare to talk about the meaning of dreams. Expect from the night only “a weakening of the soul and body” and do not attach any mystical meaning to dreams, because dreams are sometimes just dreams.

Dreams are given too much importance in modern society. Many people think that dreams are an echo, if not of a higher “providence,” then at least of intuition or the subconscious. We often hear that after this or that dream some significant event happened in life, and as confirmation they cite as examples biblical stories about prophetic dreams or fragments from the lives of saints. This is all good, of course, but people forget a simple truth: we are not biblical characters. In the Bible, the Lord through a dream (and then very rarely) indicated His will through His messengers. Are we really His messengers, prophets or apostles?!

Father explains that there is a dream and there is real life, and there is no need to mix these things, much less make any important decisions based on the dream.

Egg

Another popular image that predicts pregnancy is an egg. It can be chicken, duck, etc., even snake.

In general, such a dream promises profit for a person, but for a woman of childbearing age it can additionally indicate that conception has taken place.

Seeing an egg in a dream also means a positive test, the main thing is that it is fresh and unbroken

The main thing is that the eggs are fresh, without a rotten smell. Then everything will be fine with the child. If the eggs are broken and the yolk leaks out, this may mean the loss of the child.

In women who have at least some knowledge of gynecology, an egg is associated with ovulation. This may be why this image appears in pregnant women’s dreams.

Baby supplies

Sometimes pregnant women see baby accessories in their dreams - a crib, a stroller, a cradle, rattles, a pacifier, diapers, etc., that is, various attributes of a baby. Dream books interpret such dreams, again, to mean that the woman will soon find out about her interesting situation, but expectant mothers often see them throughout the entire period of bearing a child.

From a psychological point of view, these dreams are quite understandable. During pregnancy, all a woman's thoughts are occupied with the baby. Even if she is superstitious and does not buy him various things in advance, she certainly looks at them in stores or on the pages of magazines. Naturally, consciousness produces all these cute images in a dream.

All the thoughts of a pregnant woman are occupied with the future baby - it is quite natural that a woman dreams of rompers, pacifiers, strollers, etc.

Why does a pregnant woman dream of fruits and vegetables?

Sometimes, at the very beginning of pregnancy, a woman may dream of various round-shaped fruits (apples, potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage, etc.). Dream books in this case indicate that this is a sign of a successful conception (the round shape of the fruit symbolizes the future tummy).

A fruit such as an apple should be highlighted separately. Since ancient times, this most popular fruit in Rus' has always symbolized fertility, longevity, and natural strength. Accordingly, in dream books it is often associated with conception, the birth of a new life:

If the apple is ripe, plump, and sweet in taste, the pregnancy will be easy and the birth will be successful. A blooming apple orchard seen in a dream has the same meaning.
If the fruit is rotten, with a spoiled barrel, a worm inside, this is a bad sign. Often it can be dreamed of by a woman who is unable to conceive a child.

Sometimes pregnant women dream of cucumbers. This fruit, also popular in our country, although not round in shape, also has a symbolic meaning in a dream. It turns out that an elongated green vegetable is usually dreamed of before a successful birth. Moreover, most often a woman in such cases gives birth to a boy (an association that is clear to everyone).

Apples in a dream symbolize the birth of a new life, and a cucumber - a successful birth as a boy

As for the logical explanation, fruits and vegetables are an integral part of the diet of any pregnant woman (and, in general, anyone). Therefore, it is not surprising if these images are projected in her dreams.

What if a pregnant woman dreams of a child?

However, this same circumstance leads to the fact that the interpretation of what is seen in a dream turns out to be somewhat blurred and, in general, is not always appropriate for the simple reason that it is quite difficult to determine why the child is being noticed by a pregnant woman. On the one hand, there is no point in reacting in any particular way if a pregnant woman dreams of a child, for the simple reason that we can talk about the ordinary work of consciousness, which does not stop even during deep rest, and on the other hand, it is quite possible that in this way the stars hint at some important future events.

Perhaps the most difficult thing when interpreting an image is to accurately establish the nature of its origin. And her own intuition can help in this completely difficult matter, because only a woman’s instinct will tell her whether the dream that came to her attention is significant or, on the contrary, completely empty in terms of information. Having decided on this issue, you can begin to decipher the vision in detail, which will directly depend on many small details. For example, a dream about a healthy newborn baby promises a quick and easy birth for a pregnant woman. It’s even better if she takes the baby in her arms, lulls him and plays with him.

The gender of the newborn baby seen in a dream will also be of great importance for the pregnant dreamer, but only if she does not know it in advance (meaning information obtained as a result of an ultrasound examination).

So, if we are talking about short periods of time or ignorance for a number of other reasons, the boy seen in a dream will indicate to the woman that, alas, she will soon have to go through a lot of troubles and not very pleasant moments, although for health and, of course, Moreover, this will have absolutely nothing to do with her excellent condition. On the other hand, a dream in which the sleeping woman unexpectedly saw a beautiful, cheerful boy, bursting with health, a priori cannot promise her anything bad.

A vision about a newborn girl almost always portends great happiness and a real miracle. This sign is considered especially good if it comes to the attention of a woman who is desperate to have her own children or a pregnant woman who, for certain reasons, has difficulty bearing the fetus and is very afraid of losing it. A dream about a successful birth for a pregnant dreamer is rightfully considered a very good sign, foreshadowing the birth of an absolutely healthy baby. A bad birth in a dream, as a rule, is just a reflection of the fears and worries that haunt the pregnant woman and is not considered a bad omen.

Snake in a dream

Dream books associate the image of a snake in a pregnant woman’s dream with the sensual, sexual sphere. It is regarded as a lack of attention from the spouse. Most likely, a woman in real life wants the child’s father to hug her more often or otherwise show his tender feelings.

A snake in a dream is traditionally associated with the sensual, sexual sphere

If in a dream a pregnant woman hits a snake or runs away from it, it means that there are serious problems brewing in her intimate life that are being hushed up.

Also, the image of a snake is interpreted as betrayal, deception. If a man holds this animal in a dream, it means that he has taken a mistress or is sexually attracted to someone.

If a pregnant woman steps over a ball of snakes in a dream, this is a threat to her health.

From a psychological point of view, the image of a snake seen in a dream may reflect the hidden fears and doubts of a pregnant woman. After all, few people like these animals. Most of us associate them with something unpleasant, vile, unexpected and dangerous. If the expectant mother is not doing well in her relationship with her husband, or has any doubts about his fidelity, then in a dream this can be transformed into the image of a snake (especially if the woman has encountered one in real life).

According to Vanga's dream book

Seeing a pregnant woman lose her child in a dream means a large number of guests, planning a general cleaning, preparing a holiday surprise. It is known that Vanga tried to avoid guests visiting her house, and she really did not like them. For this reason, such dreams can be found in its “unfavorable” category. But this is an unusually happy dream for everyone who is expecting guests on the eve of a big holiday.

Is it possible to speed up the realization of children in a dream? Vanga gave a number of simple recommendations on how to do this. The most important thing is to remember well and keep in mind as many details of the dream as possible. Next, you will need any candle, which you should light and walk around the house with it.

Dreams about kittens

Many expectant mothers see cats or kittens in their dreams. Logically, this is easy to explain: cute fluffy animals live in many houses , or simply a woman often sees them on the street. Cute animals evoke positive emotions (domestic cats, in general, love to cuddle with pregnant women and lie on their stomachs) and appear in dreams.

A pregnant woman often sees cats, if not at home, then just on the street; these cute animals may well appear in her dreams

Dream books interpret this image in different ways, often again in completely opposite ways:

Seeing a cat in a dream means health problems for a pregnant woman.
A kitten sitting on your lap portends premature birth.
Funny playful kittens mean a good course of labor.
A dead kitten is a complication during childbirth.
Red and white kittens mean the birth of a girl, black and striped kittens mean the birth of a boy.
The black cat symbolizes a rival, an insidious seductress who wants to take her husband away.
A ginger cat promises prosperity and material wealth for the family.

If the expectant mother dreams of a bathhouse

The bathhouse is the oldest invention of mankind, symbolizing unity with the elements (we are talking not only about water, but also fire, air, earth), rebirth, restoration of vitality.

Bath traditions have always been especially strong in Rus'. And therefore, dream books can only please a pregnant woman if, unexpectedly in a dream, she saw herself steaming in a bathhouse. This means that childbirth will be easy, quick, and without complications. From a psychological point of view, such a dream reflects the real experience of the expectant mother: it is unlikely that a woman who has never been there in her life will dream of a bathhouse.

If a woman has always visited the bathhouse, then she may well dream about it during pregnancy

Girl

While waiting for the birth of her daughter, a woman begins to eat sweet foods, even if she previously hated candy and cakes. She begins to eat fruits, drink sweet sodas and indulge in chocolates, and her favorite colors become pink, raspberry and red. In a dream or in reality, she begins to involuntarily pay attention not to overalls for boys, but to dresses, bows, hairpins, and dolls.

In a dream, a woman pregnant with a girl begins to see either her own childhood, or girls, girlish games, toys, dresses, dolls. In addition, she can see in a dream female animals, toys in girlish dresses, with bows, hearts, or step over feminine vegetables, for example, beets, carrots, potatoes and much more. The main sign of the birth of a girl is the appearance of dolls, flowers, and an abundance of pink in a dream.

Snow and sea

In addition to the bathhouse, the expectant mother may also dream of other images associated with the water element. The fact is that water, in general, in the popular consciousness and esotericism is associated with pregnancy and childbirth (after all, the fetus is in the amniotic fluid for many months).

Pure snow-white snow in a dream is interpreted by dream books as confirmation of the fact of pregnancy, as well as an easy birth with the birth of a healthy child.

It’s not surprising if a pregnant woman dreams of snow, especially if it’s winter outside.

Often in an interesting position one dreams of the sea. Sometimes it is there that a woman sees the notorious fish - a symbol of the completed conception. Also, this image can predict changes in the near future. And here everything depends on the water: if the sea is clean, success and joyful events lie ahead, but if it’s dirty, expect troubles that will unsettle you. But the waves promise moral pressure from loved ones.

The water element is generally associated with pregnancy and childbirth, including the endless blue sea

In fact, there is nothing surprising in dreams about snow and the sea. After all, we live in a country with cold, snowy winters. And in the summer, almost every family tries to get to the sea coast to relax.

Transcripts of Nostradamus

If you follow Nostradamus's dream book, a baby is a sign of hope for a bright future.

But there are some exceptions:

If a person in his dreams saw that a child was bitten by an animal, then this is a symbol that a large number of vampires will soon appear on the planet, posing a danger primarily to children.
A dream about a disabled baby symbolizes the danger to all humanity that polluted air poses. For a person who has had such a dream, this means meeting someone who will ask for help.
If you see a child in the arms of a fallen woman in a dream, this indicates that the planet is in great danger. Due to the poor environmental situation, many children will be born with various developmental pathologies.
If the dreamer sees himself as a child in a dream, this means that he needs to reconsider his views on life.
Seeing a newborn crying symbolizes danger.
Holding a child in your arms means trying to solve a difficult problem.

Sex and cheating on your husband in a dream

Pregnant women often have erotic dreams. There is absolutely no need to turn to the dream book here, because everything is explained very simply. In the early stages, hormonal changes begin in the body, it prepares for the birth of a baby. However, subconsciously the woman still cannot get used to this and continues to establish herself in the usual role of a mistress (her psyche does not understand what it means to be a mother).

In addition, the doctor often imposes restrictions on the expectant mother’s sex life (up to a complete ban). And with the help of erotic dreams, the female body signals protest.

Another popular dream motive is cheating on a spouse. This already reflects the pregnant woman’s excitement about the transformations happening to her body, disappointment in her own appearance. A woman in reality worries that her intimate life will worsen and, worst of all, her partner will find someone else. All these pictures appear vividly in dreams.

. A pregnant woman is aware of changes in her appearance and subconsciously fears that her husband will find someone else - hence the dreams of cheating

Unexpected images - a church, a cemetery and... dead people

During pregnancy, a woman’s changing psyche can produce the most unexpected images in her dreams related to the spiritual and other world.

Church

In general, the image of the church in dream books is interpreted ambiguously and has many nuances that depend on the details of the dream. But for a pregnant woman, this is a wonderful sign, meaning that the baby will be born healthy, strong, and his life will be happy and long.

In any case, seeing a temple in a dream is a good sign that does not foretell anything bad.

You should pay attention to the following plot features of the dream:

If a woman lights a candle for health, the birth will be easy.
If you light a candle for repose, the next few days will be restless.
If a woman receives communion, a son will be born.
If she participates in the construction of a church, she will be a caring mother.
If childbirth begins in the temple, the woman will be a mother of many children.

From a psychological point of view, if an atheist or a person of little faith sees a church in a dream, it means he is thinking about his spiritual life and subconsciously strives to come to God. Often this desire comes precisely during pregnancy. If the expectant mother already regularly visits the temple, then this dream is simply a reflection of her life impressions.

Cemetery and graves

Sometimes in her dreams a pregnant woman wanders into a cemetery among the graves. Often, she feels melancholy, fear, and loneliness.

According to Miss Hasse's dream book

When asked why she dreams if a pregnant woman has lost her child, Miss Hasse answered - to make a difficult and important choice in life, to find a source of inspiration, to stand on the threshold of important changes. You should pay attention to the details of the dream. If you dreamed of many details, events and objects, this may indicate many obstacles. A dull dream without any special memorable moments means a quick solution to all difficulties.

You should be careful and cautious in dreams of this kind. Children, of course, are considered a good and kind sign. According to Hasse, analyzing just one dream can reduce the accuracy of interpretation. And the details of one of them can significantly affect the overall picture of interpretation.

Dreams about childbirth

Very often, pregnant women have dreams about childbirth. There is certainly nothing surprising here. On the one hand, the mother can’t wait to meet the baby as soon as possible, but on the other hand, she becomes afraid that something will go wrong during childbirth. As a result, different dreams appear: both pleasant, joyful, and disturbing, sometimes nightmarish. See What you dream about before giving birth: an explanation by psychologists and women’s experience.

Especially restless women begin to dream about their own childbirth at the very beginning of pregnancy - as soon as they learn about their interesting situation. The suspicious expectant mother begins to imagine herself in the maternity hospital, replaying various scenarios for the course of childbirth - both successful and negative.
