I have a recurring dream of having a baby. What does it mean?
In response to one of the answers: I postpone motherhood for 15 years because I'm in the process of becoming a human rights lawyer. I plan to be working for the High Commission on Human Rights and later as a prosecutor for the International Court for Genocide. All that means no time for being a mother. I'll be constantly traveling and staying in other countries for months. How is it possible to have a baby that way? Secondly, adoption is my conscious choice. I reason that my child is not conceived yet therefore can't feel pain or hunger or sorrow. Kids in Africa, impoverished parts of Latin America and Asia are born already therefore they do feel suffering. So who needs me most as a mother: a child not conceived or an orphaned or abandoned child that already exists? The answer is obvious. Also, I want to adopt 4 kids from the impoverished parts of the world. This requires money and not just enough to buy food. I must provide them all with good education as well. Therefore career first.
I had a dream where I had twins and then neglected them in a cardboard box for several days to the point where they almost died. Does that mean I'll be a bad mother?
Dreams are such an easy metaphor to talk about you but it usually is not what you understand the dream to mean .Thank you for asking because your dream is not about motherhood not directly.The twins are the duality within yourself that you are having to carry out for several days at a time you try to keep this boxed up and separate but it just about kills you .It is note worthy to say the almost death is the result of neglect .You are [according to your dream] going through a struggle of what aspect of yourself can be more dominant and you are neglecting the part of yourself that needs to be understood .It is always simple when I write it out .Sources of explanations Alex Lukeman What your dreams can teach you and Carl Jung any of his books on dreams .I would like to encourage you to keep a dream journal for six weeks and see if this assists you in resolving this struggle thanks for asking a good question

I often have unpleasant dreams about a neglected infant. What might this mean?
I often have unpleasant dreams about a neglected infant. What might this mean?The question is whether the “neglected infant” in your unpleasant dreams was supposed to be in your charge. Was it your child or someone you were caring for? I’ve had this dream a few times. I think it’s one of the many anxiety dreams, but this is one where we actually neglect a living thing which can feel worse than neglecting a class at school or a job perhaps. Some people dream that they neglected an animal or a plant. For me, it was always a baby. I have a daughter and I never neglected her. But each of these dreams was almost identical. I’d be going about my routine and suddenly the thought would come to me that I had a baby! And that I hadn’t paid any attention to her for quite a while. I’d rush to her room, wondering if she was going to be covered in filth. Usually it was a bit of a blur or the dream would just end by the time I arrived. I think just one time I noticed that her diaper was loaded. It’s a very disconcerting dream. If you never had a baby, the infant could perhaps stand for anything that you fear that you could neglect but probably a living thing. I wouldn’t take it seriously. Our subconscious harbors all kinds of baseless fears.
I keep dreaming about neglected or dying pets...?
Many people think that dreams mean something. But that isn't necessarily true. Dreams actually mean nothing. Although it probably is not what you want to hear, but it is the truth! Although it may be disappointing but, modern medicine has proved that dreams are nothing more than a succession of images recalling past memory. I'm sorry if this is not what you want to believe. I will start off telling you that ALL dreams mean nothing! Dreams just express you or your emotions, they express what you feel and what you do in real life. thats why they feel so real. Dreams cannot create people, places and things thats another reason why they feel so real! dreams recall past memory, -for example if you see a person you don't recognize in dreams, you probably saw him before on TV or walking in the street (you probably didn't pay attention to them). Dreams express your emotions and thoughts in a negative way Nothing. The dream was about nothing. dreams mean nothing they just express your emotions and feelings in a symbolic way. Dreams are simple synapses in your brain firing off all sorts of things. Your brain gathers all this random information, sights, sounds and so forth. And as you are sleeping, these sights and essentially memories are jumbled up into one big mess, just random nonsense, and your brain works and works for an hour or so trying to create a nice little story with all of these sights and sounds because it wants to make sense of it. It wants to make sense out of nonsense! So, then you end up with this dream. This happens several times in one night but when you wake up, you forget all of them, and when you do remember one of them, when you do remember at least one dream, we try to make sense of it. We tell ourselves, what is this? What could it mean. When in reality, it means nothing, it is just complete nonsense. So stop trying to make sense of it, it is nothing! Dreams are a succession of images, ideas, emotions and sensations occurring involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep.
