Pregnancy in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Pregnancy is read as something growing in you that is not ready to be seen yet — a plan, a change, a new stage. Dream books treat it as a symbol far more often than as a literal sign. Feeling joy about the pregnancy points to excitement about what is developing in your life. Anxiety or fear is linked to doubt about new responsibilities; someone else being pregnant is read as noticing growth or change around you. Dreaming of pregnancy is common at turning points, whatever your age or gender. It can help to notice what idea or change you are currently carrying.
