So the night before I had this dream where I was wandering around some unfamiliar room with a baby in my arms, i dont have a child and am not expecting one, and i was just kinda hanging out taking care of the baby when some unfamiliar old man started to approach me, he seemed harmless at first but once he got close he started to attack me and tried to take the baby from me, while i was dreaming i assumed the old man to be some sort of demon because he sounded particuarly evil once he started trying to take the baby, but anyways once the old man started trying to take the baby away this white spot appeared in the left side of my vision and grew until there was nothing left to see except white and i woke up with my heart racing freaking out.

Lets hear what yall think

In short, dreams are symbolic expressions of your feelings about your waking life. The meaning of the symbols in your dream should help shed light on the meaning of your dream:

room: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/room.html
baby: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/baby.html
attacked: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/attacked.html
demon: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/demon.html

Without knowing the waking life circumstances that generated your dream, it's hard to say precisely who the old man is... or the baby, but it's clearly about something in your life that has you very concerned. Feelings in dreams are never disguised, so how you felt IN the dream is how you feel about its subject in your waking life. The dream could be about a new project or relationship in your life that you fear will be "taken away from you" by an "old demon" that haunts you, which could be anything from an addiction and depression to an "older" person in your life. Often the more obtuse the dream, the more out of touch you are with your feelings about its subject. This is often self-protective, because those feelings so painful, scary and/or raw.

If you wouldn't mind sharing some details about your personal life at the time of the dream, it would be easier for all of us to help you connect the dots. Sometimes, it's easier for an outsider to see it than the dreamer. That being said, only the dreamer can validate the true meaning of his or her dream.

I hope that helps! Good luck.

PS There's no need to freak out about your dreams, because they are about your feelings, not the future. Understanding the meaning of your dreams will help you understand your feelings about the really important issues in your life. Knowing that, you'll be able to make better informed decisions... and that's a good thing.
