I have been having copious amounts of dreams about babies. *In real life, all my friends are having babies, and althought logically I know I am not ready to have children, nor does my boyfriend even \"want\" children ever, I can't help but feel jelous. *I love children and illogically want a baby desperately! *Anyhow. *My dreams have been as follows...
1>I give birth, it's painless and wonder full. But later I can't remember my little boys name and get really upset about it.
2>I am at a cookout type party and am holding my baby. *A little girl, she is about a year. *I am thinking she is already showing signs of being like her father.
3>I'm holding a friends baby.
4>I am in a church and my boyfriend is with our eldest daughter of 8. *I am sitting in a pew with our son, around 6 and I have a newborn. *I need to breastfeed but am embarassed to do so in a church. *I look at my baby, she is sooo tiny and beautiful.
So...from what I've read baby's mean new beginnings. *But since I have this waking life \"issue\" with babies, could it be just a manifestation of that? *
Opinions? *I know I know...only I know what it really means=P
Yes, to me, a dream of a Baby would be a New Beginning. But in your case these dream babies are satisfying your need to feel maternal -- to love and be loved by little babies.
It reminds me of an Athropology Professor I had almost 50 years ago... that was back when there had still been Primitive People's out in the World to study as though still in their natural and traditional elements. Anyway, he told us that they young pre-adulescent girls as well as the pubesant girls who had not yet married used to beg to 'baby-sit', to watch the babies of their older sisters -- anything to even touch the babies. And the girls too young for that, they would make 'dolls' out of leaves and sticks.
Our culture of Romanticism pretends that the object women seek most is a fulfilling sexual relationship with a man. It does sell a lot of books and nearly every movie from Hollywood to Bollywood covers the same theme. But from my personal experience with women, nothing compares to their urge to be mothers, and the love of a mother for her child eclipses any feeling she could have for her husband, no matter how strong. If a City Bus were about to run over her child and the only way she could save it would be to throw her beloved husband in the way to jam up the wheels, there would not be a moments hesitation. Indeed, fathers also come to find to their surprise that they can become so fond of their children. It is not uncommon that a man can be almost entirely self-centered his entire life just to find that upon becoming a father, to quiet an insistent wife, that he suddenly really cares for another life. The love of a Parent for a Child goes way beyond any love of a spouse for a spouse.
The Hindus had some insight into this. Where the silly Sufis and even the Jews of the Poems of Solomon constantly used the metaphor of sexuality to express the Mystics' love for God, the Hindus were able to supply the more persuasive metaphor of the Gopi's Love for the Infant Krishna. To them it was obvious that the most intense Love on earth was that of young women for babies. The Catholic Tradition would pick this up and during the Golden Age of Christendom we would not have one single instance of an Apparition of an Adult Christ, but again and again and again Christ would appear with His Mother Mary as the Beloved Infant.
Your dreams are bringing you the greatest love you will ever know.
