If it is a dream where the baby is being neglected, I will usually realize it needs help and then get busy and feed it. It's usually like "Yikes, I haven't been feeding the baby!"<br /><br />I had another twins baby dream last night. I didn't talk to the babies, but I did ask someone else in the dream if he had fed one of the babies. I still like the idea of asking the babies why they keep appearing in my dream.Valerie Ipsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958210886138097232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517028526883601425.post-39439009149127387832010-08-24T13:14:26.371-07:002010-08-24T13:14:26.371-07:00Oh, I don't know if I'll be much help.

The coolest one was a month before I had my daughter, I dreamt I was holding her in my arms and she looked up at me (as a newborn) and said in perfect English, Hello Tamara. It was good feeling dream. As for yours. Yes, the baby can be a symbol for several different things -but what are your overriding FEELINGS in the dream? Fear? Exasperation? Helplessness? Sometimes even if I can't figure out what a dream means, I try to pinpoint the feelings I have in the dream and match them to situations in my life that could be the cause of such emotions. Just an idea. Good luck.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08720132801165161457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517028526883601425.post-54151712366363178782010-08-23T13:14:13.628-07:002010-08-23T13:14:13.628-07:00Just saying...I'm sticking to my pretended int...Just saying...I'm sticking to my pretended interpretation...I say pretended because no one really knows what dreams mean...plus I am not having more children or adopting...I'm fine with the eight I have...<br /><br />Cindy, thank you for your comment.

My dad taught me that I was in control of my dreams and that I should take control of the situation. I did. In one dream there was a spider who kept coming to wrap me up. It scared me so much that I couldn't talk. With my dad's help I asked it what it wanted. It said it just wanted to be my mummy (wrapping me up like the egyptian kind). I woke up laughing. I've had other recurring dreams where I have taken control and faced the person that keeps coming back, asked them whats going on and that's the end of it. <br />The only problem with your dream is can your baby talk?Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610208244881298012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517028526883601425.post-72929793141035057662010-08-22T08:47:26.919-07:002010-08-22T08:47:26.919-07:00Loved this post.

Your interpretation makes a lot of sense.<br />I've had a reoccuring dream for the past 20 or so years. I've never told my husband about them--they involved an old boyfried (one I thought that for years I would marry, but he dear Johned me while I was on my mission). The common element in the dreams is that I still love this boyfriend but he will never commit to me or reciprocate. I have since realized that I have these dreams when my husband and I get in an argument or he's made me mad. When things are going smooth in my marraige, I don't get them. Perhaps when things are going smooth in your writing you will not get these dreams. But, as with all writers, nothing will ever go smooth all the time. So be prepared to have more dreams. Let them be a quiet reminder to keep working at things. And don't seek therapy--you're just fine.Carolyn Twede Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07262989638447923695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517028526883601425.post-66775210891805855222010-08-22T08:32:02.533-07:002010-08-22T08:32:02.533-07:00Oh, Valerie, I feel for you.

Another dream interpretation website, which gives the same info as Taffy is http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/dreamdictionarysearch.pl?method=exact&header=dreamsymbol&search=baby<br />Also, if you dream of babysitting it supposedly means that you need to take care of the child inside you. And check out 'twins' you apparently have some conflict (or your life is in harmony...) that needs attention.

Babies symbolize something in your own inner nature that is pure, vulnerable, helpless and/or uncorrupted. <br /><br />If you find a baby in your dream, then it suggests that you have acknowledged your hidden potential.<br /><br />To dream of a crying baby, symbolizes a part of yourself that is deprived of attention and needs to be nurtured. Alternatively, it represents your unfulfilled goals and a sense of lacking in your life. I<br /><br />f you dream that a baby is neglected, then it suggests that you are not paying enough attention to yourself. You are not utilizing your full potential. Alternatively, this dream could represent your fears about your own children and your ability to protect and to provide for them.<br /><br />To dream about a starving baby, represents your dependence on others. You are experiencing some deficiency in your life that needs immediate attention and gratification. To see a dead baby in your dream, symbolizes the ending of something that was once a part of you.<br /><br />To dream of an extremely small baby, symbolizes your helplessness and your fears of letting others become aware of your vulnerabilities and incompetence. You may be afraid to ask for help and as a result tend to take matters into your own hands.Taffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796711977284429278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517028526883601425.post-32827828686387736362010-08-21T16:38:32.642-07:002010-08-21T16:38:32.642-07:00I'm wondering--like Karen--if the dreams are r...I'm wondering--like Karen--if the dreams are representing some other talent that needs nourishing. Maybe it's a talent you've forgotten about, or maybe it's a talent lurking around undeveloped but that will bring you great joy. I had a baby dream, but it occurred right around the time we adopted our first child. Maybe adoption? : )kbrebeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146709601038107862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517028526883601425.post-21489462008578623462010-08-21T15:44:11.235-07:002010-08-21T15:44:11.235-07:00I find your interpretation of what the baby in you...I find your interpretation of what the baby in your dreams represents to be interesting. I would not have drawn the same conclusion if it were my dreams.<br /><br />Perhaps the baby represents something else in your life that needs nurturing and you feel deep down inside that you're not giving it/them enough of your time. Maybe your children/family?Karen Dupaixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680579279291206811noreply@blogger.com
