Dreaming of infants is a very common dream motif.
There was a horrible movie years back, but it had a good scene -- this old Indian is wondering through the wilderness and suddenly sees a hill with a strange clump of trees, and instantly knows it from an old dream as the place where he was to die. Well, of course he is now overwhelmed with regrets because he never quite believed that dream. He had fought in dozens of battles and had allowed a degree of normal fear to hold him back each time, but had he BELIEVED that he would not have died until he really did come to this strange hill, then he could have been totally fearless and crazy in all of his battles without the least apprehension for his safety.
In Mythology we have the story of Cassandra who was under a Curse -- that she would be able to prophecize the future and always be right, but that nobody would ever believe her. So it is with all prophecy of the future -- nobody ever fully believes it.
But whether your dream is prophetic or symbolic, in either case it is significant of your giving birth to a new potentiality.
