Thread: Dead baby being delivered

I can't help you much with this, but I can tell you what it usually meant for me. I've dreamed of babies in different contexts, but it was always my baby. Perhaps it's significant that it's not you who's giving birth, maybe you're externalizing it for some reason or not wanting to accept it's you? Or of course something else entirely, but I feel babies are a strong symbol.

Interestingly, I have no wish to have a baby or any desires or hopes of that kind. But.. I do have dreams for my future that I'm working hard on making true. So at some point I dreamed that I was pregnant but some man wanted to cut the baby out with a knife. This was after I botched a test and a man told me I wasn't good enough for what I want to do. At another point, I dreamed of seeing a baby that was standing at the doorway, not allowing me to close the door. Then when I went towards it to move it away, it started doing all kinds of acrobatics and showing off muscles, as if to show me that I shouldn't abandon this project and line of development that I'm pursuing. That I'm getting good and strong at it, and not to close the door behind.

I think your dream kind of correlates with what you're going through, although you said it doesn't. Maybe it's not university at all that you want to do next (I'm really just brainstorming here, please don't be offended.). The baby is dying, but you don't feel like it's your baby at all. Maybe it wasn't what you wanted to do in the first place anyway. But you did feel horrible about it, so I don't know. Also you were put in charge of birthing this woman, perhaps whatever task the baby symbolizes was imposed on you? Perhaps feet and cold feet have a significance here, I don't know what it might be. Maybe as simple as the expression "to have cold feet" about something.

That's all I've got. Hope it helps.
