Birthing

If you are not pregnant (or cannot be for whatever reason, including being male), giving birth in a dream is a frequent metaphor for bringing to life a goal (such as a new career or a romantic relationship) or project (personal or professional) in your waking life. Dreams of abortion reflect feelings of wanting to "end" or "terminate" an unrealized goal, project or relationship in your life. If you are stuck in labor in your dream, think about the goal you’re "laboring" to achieve. If your baby is stillborn, dies or has birth defects, think about goals or romantic relationships that you held high hopes for but which now seem to be dead or diseased. Dreams of miscarriage reflect doubts about a developing project or relationship. Dreams of a premature birth reflect concerns that the "baby" will come too soon, and you won't be prepared. Dreams of dying during birth symbolize an inner metamorphosis and an evolution of development; old ways of perceiving are passing away; new self-discoveries are being made.
