Dreaming of a baby

Babies in dreams rarely mean literal children; they are beginnings made flesh: a new venture, a new self, a fragile potential that needs feeding. A thriving baby suggests the new thing is well kept; a neglected one, a beginning you've abandoned.

The mother goddesses shaped humankind from clay and sang over every birth; creation itself begins as something small and crying in the dark. If a baby cries in your dream, ask what new life in your life is asking for its portion of milk and patience.

Dream meanings are reflective, not medical or predictive. If a dream troubles you often, be gentle with yourself — and talk to someone you trust.
