Dreaming of Being Pregnant
🌙 Does this dream sound familiar?
You discover a pregnancy or watch your belly grow — whether or not you want children.
🏮 The folk interpretation
Folk belief: pregnancy in dreams signals new beginnings, creativity, or hidden growth. A boy means luck, a girl means gossip. A painful birth warns of struggle; a calm one promises easy rewards.
🧠 The psychological view (Jung)
Jung saw pregnancy dreams as the gestation of a new self or project. Your current emotional state—anticipation, fear, or ambivalence—mirrors what you're nurturing in waking life, not a literal prediction.
"The true tarot is symbolism; it speaks no other language."
— A.E. Waite, The Pictorial Key to the Tarot, 1911
