What Does Dreaming About Newborn Baby Mean?

Taking the newborn into one's arms points to claiming the portion that has come; Ibn Sirin reads it as a trust taken on, whose end is portion if its due is given. Nursing or feeding the baby is read as a work that will ask labor and repay it.

Naming the baby is the sign of the new work's identity being set; the interpreters read all three states with good and toward care. Al-Nabulsi adds that the small work in the middle grows with the care given to it.

In most of the classical sources a baby boy is read toward gain that comes with toil, a baby girl toward blessing and a portion arriving with ease; the interpreters add that this measure may shift with the dreamer's state. One's own baby points to a near responsibility, another's to glad news from the circle. The sources counsel looking at the baby's health and state before its sex.

A crying baby is read as a matter waiting for attention; the interpreters count it the voice of a neglected work and counsel listening to it. Al-Nabulsi reads the crying baby as a beginning waiting for care, the smiling one as ease of heart.

From the Freudian perspective the crying baby is the voice of a neglected need, and sometimes the dreamer is the baby. The dream calls one to turn toward the tender thing.

In the Jungian approach the divine child archetype is the seed of the future: the baby's smallness tells not of worthlessness but of possibility not yet unfolded. Tending the newborn in a dream is noticing the new side sprouting within oneself. Those starting a new job or project and those who have taken on the care of something tender see this dream often; the dream calls for raising it with care.
