The key symbols in my dreams lately have been pregnancy, babies and love/romance. Whenever I wake up from a pregnancy dream, I wake up feeling shocked, even though I feel so nurturing in the dreams. It's kinda scaring me. Anyone know why I'm having these kinds of dreams?

Feelings IN dreams are never disguised, so how you feel in the dream is how you feel about its subject in your waking life. Pregnancy in dreams can reflect a literal desire for a child or reflect your feelings about a symbolic new "baby" in your life, such a new project, romance or interest. Here's a link to the full definition: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/pregnant.html

IN your dream, you feel nurturing toward the baby/pregnancy/romance, but you wake up feeling shocked. That would seem to suggest that each is symbolic. Whether it is a real desire for any of the three or a symbolic representation for something else new and growing in your life, only you can say. If you don't mind sharing, please let us know which it is.

Then, go with it!

Hope that helps!

Well, I guess I do have a strong desire for romance right now. It's just a desire though. I don't see what the pregnancy and baby dreams have to do with it. And you said baby dreams mean a new thing has happened in my waking life. Are my dreams trying to tell me about something I'm not aware of?

Your dreams are symbolic expressions of your feelings about your waking life. Some dreamers are unaware of how they feel about important issues in their lives. In fact, the more obtuse the dream, often the less consciously aware the dreamer is about those feelings about its subject. Symbols are the most efficient way to communicate the feeling, but they can also be self-protective, as in you're not quite sure or don't want to know.

Your dream is probably the former. You may be "nurturing" the possibility of a new romance. You could be "pregnant" with the thought/anticipation/feeling that it will happen, hopeful that it will be "born." Even the attraction to a new crush has been known to generate a pregnancy dream. The fact that you acknowledge a "strong desire" for romance may be enough to impregnate you with a pregnancy dream. Now all you have to do is find him. So, get out there and be social (and careful), and it will happen.

Does that make sense? As the dreamer, only you can say for sure.

Good luck!
