In the traditional reading
Baby dreams were often read as conception dreams; otherwise as something new starting, or something arriving that needs care.
From dream research
The power of a conception dream is not accuracy but the story it gives a family for welcoming a child. That works whether or not the dream is right.
Scene by scene, as it was handed down
- You hold a baby — Taken as a new charge coming to you.
- The baby smiles — Read as a good beginning.
- The baby cries and will not settle — Taken as a responsibility beyond your capacity.
Dream reading is cultural symbol interpretation and does not foretell anything.
