What Does It Mean to Dream of a Baby or Infant?

In traditional Chinese dream-interpreting culture, dreams often carry certain omens. Then, according to the dream analysis in Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretations, what omen is it to dream of a baby or infant? Below are the results retrieved from the Complete Collection of Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretations.

Dreaming of a baby: On the one hand, it may represent the pure, natural and authentic side of your nature—i.e., the unsocialized part of you, or hint at the vulnerable side deep in your heart that longs to be loved. On the other hand, it predicts that your self-development and life progress will take a turn for the better. You will get new opportunities and good luck, the hard work you put in before will pay off, and you will start a new phase of your life. For married people who do not have children yet, dreaming of a baby may sometimes simply be an expression of their desire to have a child in their hearts. For new parents, dreaming that a baby is suffocating or in danger usually shows their intense concern for the child. Generally speaking, if you dream of the birth of your own child, it is an omen that you are going to get pregnant, or that you will make a fortune and have a substantial income.

Dreaming of picking up a baby yourself: It indicates that your financial fortune will be strong in the near future. But try not to lend money to others recently, otherwise there is a high possibility that you will never get it back.

Dreaming of a beautiful and lovely baby: It predicts that you will have good luck.

Dreaming of an extremely ugly baby: It symbolizes that someone you trust may scheme against you and cheat you.

Dreaming that a newborn baby starts to walk upright right away: It predicts that your work achievements will be praised and recognized.

Dreaming of a sick baby: It means that you may suffer setbacks in your work or love life.

Dreaming that a baby dies young or gets lost: It indicates that the troubles or worries you are facing now will be eliminated. Your mood will regain stability, and you will get on the right track of gradual development.

Dreaming that a newborn baby is urinating or defecating: It predicts that you may encounter unlucky things, or someone you trust may put you in an awkward situation.

Dreaming of a stranger stroking a baby: It hints that your luck will be bad in the near future and you will encounter misfortunes.
