What does a baby mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

Mary Leyen

Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
A dream about a baby often hints at innocence, warmth, and new beginnings. But it's not always such a simple interpretation.
It can represent a fresh start or a new project that you're nurturing and helping to grow. If you're taking care of a baby in your dream, it could indicate that you're in a phase of your life where you're nurturing a new idea or responsibility.
It can also reflect your nurturing nature or a desire to care for others. However, if the baby is neglected or in distress, it might suggest a fear of responsibility or an aspect of your life that needs more attention.
A baby is a somewhat complex dream experience to really clarify. To really know confidently, it's really necessary to take a deeper dive into the dreamer's life story and current life scenario.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Ernesto Andrahi
Psychoanalyst,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
Dreaming of a baby, in Freudian terms, may denote a latent desire for pure, unadulterated affection or a longing to return to a state of dependency and absolute care.
Taking that analysis a bit deeper... The act of taking care of a baby in a dream could be a manifestation of the ego's attempt to reconcile with the id, signifying a need for self-care and self-nurturing. If the baby appears neglected, it may reflect repressed feelings of inadequacy or guilt. Conversely, a content baby could symbolize self-acceptance and psychological wholeness. The dream's context and your personal associations with babies would provide further insight into its specific meaning.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Liz Morrison
Shaman and Spirit Guide,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
Dreaming about a baby points to things like a divine message of spiritual rebirth or transformation. It may symbolize your inner child, reflecting purity, innocence, and untapped potential. If you're caring for a baby, it suggests you're nurturing your spiritual growth or a divine gift within you. However, if the baby is neglected, it may indicate a spiritual aspect of your life that requires more attention and care. This dream is a spiritual call to awaken and nurture your inner self, to grow and evolve spiritually. Remember, dreams are deeply personal and their meanings can vary based on your spiritual beliefs and experiences.
