What Does Dreaming of Pregnancy Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
According to traditional interpretation, especially in Ibn Sirin's reading, pregnancy in a dream may generally be a sign of wealth, provision, abundance, and a hidden blessing; it can be interpreted as blessings increasing in proportion to the size of the belly, and as the fulfillment of a long-awaited endeavor. For a woman it is mostly considered a mark of esteem and pure good, while a man seeing himself pregnant may point to a concealed secret or a hidden sorrow.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, a pregnancy dream can, from Jung's perspective, symbolize a new self, project, or creative potential maturing within and preparing to be "born." In the Freudian reading, it may be an expression of the desire to create, the anticipation of responsibility, or a wish carried in the unconscious that has not yet come to light.
