If you do feel anxious in life, this dream may be reminding you that it is just as important to care for and nurture yourself as it is to care for a child or baby. There is no need to feel anxious or guilty about your parenting skills. The important thing to remember is, even if you dream of your own children or children you know, they are usually symbols your mind is using to express an idea to you. The age of the baby can sometimes indicate when this project started or was conceived, giving you a clue about what idea or project this symbol is referring to.

In dreams we often see babies and children appear to symbolise a specific new project, something that you create and nurture as “your baby”. Closely related to this is the idea of care and nurturing that vulnerable things can be kept safe and encouraged to flourish. They represent the new, the idea that something that once never existed can be brought into the world through a sacred process. Dreams of babies and children can be symbolic of the archetypal “inner child”, the part of you that remains innocent, spontaneous, playful and trusting.īabies and children are symbolically connected to creativity.
