Baby in a dream
In folk belief, a baby in a dream stands for a new beginning, joy and a tenderness waking up in you.
In old dream books, a baby is a sign of something new just coming into the world: an idea, a job, a friendship or a chapter of life. A smiling baby is read as joy and an easy start, a crying one as something that asks for your attention and patience. A dream like this is believed to awaken tenderness and care. It need not be about a new arrival in the family – more often it speaks of your plans.
