Expert’s Opinion
Dr. Nereida Gonzalez-Berrios, MD, reviewer and certified psychiatrist of ThePleasantDream, commented that having dreams about childbirth and giving birth can be unsettling when you are not pregnant and also don’t see yourself having one, but there are several reasons why people might experience such dreams.
This dream can be a sign of a fresh start, working on a new project, or entering a new relationship. This vision is mostly about new beginnings and the excitement and anticipation surrounding new beginnings.
‘Dream of childbirth’ and ‘giving birth ‘denote hope and wishing for growth in one’s life. Again, such a vision can denote the childlike nature and the innocence one possesses within. This can also be the subconscious urge of a person to eliminate toxic behavior and thoughts from one’s lives.On a negative note, such dreams can represent lack of confidence and feelings of vulnerabilities in the dreamer’s life.
