What Does Dreaming of Birth Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation and according to Ibn Sirin, seeing a birth in a dream may point to deliverance from a great hardship, trouble, or debt, to relief, and to a new beginning. It can carry meanings of spiritual purification, repentance, and a lightening of burdens; it is mostly interpreted as an auspicious sign.
Psychological View
In modern psychology (Jung/Freud), birth is considered the archetypal symbol of inner renewal, transformation, and creative potential; it may point to an old self being left behind and a new identity being born. It can also reflect anxiety about being ready for a new responsibility, or a project waiting to come to life.
