Dreaming of a birth

Birth is increase for the whole lineage, not just the mother. It is read as something new coming into the family or your life that will need naming, protecting and celebrating.

Birth carries promise fulfilled after waiting, and pain giving way to joy. Read as encouragement that a long-carried thing is arriving.

Childbirth is classically read as relief after difficulty and the opening of a matter that was constrained, generally a favourable sign.

The emergence of something new in the self, a capacity, a project, an identity, after a period of gestation.

Birth imagery accompanies genuine beginnings such as new work or relationships, and reflects the mind processing a transition into a new role.
