You're looking at a crib, a pacifier, a diaper, and you can hear cries. What you're seeing is a newborn baby. The little ones appear in our dreams more often than we realize, and it's usually more common for women, considering they're the ones bringing them into the world.
These dreams happen especially during pregnancy, or with young mothers who worry too much about their munchkins and their concerns manifest as painful or unpleasant dreams. These dreams can sometimes foretell events or reflect inner fears.
We have to mention the fact that dreaming about babies is a common occurrence during fertile periods, as well as outside of them, and it doesn't always suggest a frustrated mother. Baby dreams are more about projects, fears, and health than about maternal instincts.
