Nightmare! Well, to me at least.

I had a horrible dream last night. I dreamt I was pregnant. And if I'm not mistaken, I was very pregnant. And I think I was carrying twins, I think I just knew that it was twins. And unlike all my other dreams where I'm pregnant, I knew who the father was now. That was a nice twist, especially since the father was someone I would very much like to practise making babies with. But the downside was that he wasn't with me.

I have to laugh a little bit at it... I remember having a very dirty thought. In my dream I had clearly had lots of relationships before I did this guy, and I thought that none of the others had made me pregnant. So I thought: "Wow, his sperm must be really persistent!" Scary.

Anyway, I woke up on my back and actually thought I was pregnant. So I turned around to my side, and you won't believe how relieved I was to feel that it wasn't a whole lot of extra tummy there!

I checked some dream sites, to figure out what the hell these pregnant dreams mean. Here are the interpretations:

To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.

Personal growth and development would be nice... I just hope it doesn't mean that my maternal instinct is growing.

If the dreamer is a woman and you dream you are pregnant then you will see a big increase in your income, but if you are unwed and sad you will experience losses.

Well, an increase in income would be nice! But highly unlikely.

Pregnancy has two points of entry into our dream lives. The first is dreaming of oneself as being pregnant. The second is that you actually become pregnant in waking life and that trigger event creates this particular dream content.

In dreams, anyone can get pregnant. It is not an experience that is limited by gender or age. Generally, it is a herald of creativity, virility, or wealth. However, there are numerous underlying themes that need additional interpretation.

If you are a younger woman who dreams of getting pregnant, but has no waking intention of doing so, it is likely that you are working through an archetypal transition into a new self-awareness. One of Jung's archetypes is the archetype of parenting or preserving the species. To see oneself engaged in such activity is to grow from being a child to identifying more prominently with adults.

I like this one better. But I'm not so sure about any of them... Anyone have any ideas about what this could mean?

  1. Hi.. Just a thought..

    You are hocked on this person that you are afraid of taking the chance to connect with, afraid of the outcome. The pregnancy dream may have a lot to do with your insecurties around this subject. The pregnancy may symbolice the sacrifice (in your case) that you feel you must give to be able to be with this person. But since he isnt with you the way you wish in the dream, you might feel that what you sacrifice might not be enough, that you will only be rejected. (it might also be that you carry this giant fear of rejection and insecurity (baby) with you). Or I might take it another way entirely. The baby may represent this obsetion you have with this guy, and you might feel that it is draging you down, too heavy to carry around with you, and you need to give birth to this "baby" where you make the choice to either nurture it and watch it grow into a healty relationship or "give it away for adoption" and you can focus your life on more healthier paths. Such a love can lead to personal ruin if left untended to long.

    well... thats my rambling....
